1/ New working paper by Greg Muttitt and me, on equitable fossil fuel transitions. GST called for nationally determined contributions to global efforts, incl “transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner”.

Electric vehicles are already cutting 2.3 million barrels of oil demand per day. That's about to double under a business-as-usual scenario this decade. It could go faster if EV sales rise, which there are indications they will at this oil price.

A new report published on 11 March by the UK's Climate Change Committee reinforces this point: the total cost of reaching net zero by 2050 is likely to be no greater than the cost of a single fossil fuel price shock - like the one triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Spain could be the only EU country to beat energy price hikes Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe.

Between 2020 and 2024 Spain “cut its power sector import bill more than any other EU country.” It did this by adding new solar and wind farms which “avoided 26 billion cubic metres of gas imports costing €13.5 billion”.

100% d'acord.

I als que diuen "passarem a dependre de la Xina". Les dependències no son iguals, ni tenen la mateixa durada, poden ser només per parts de la cadena de valor, i Europa pot treballar ser independent en temes clau (x ex, el reciclatge de bateries)

Una defensa de las iniciativas comerciales europeas - Corriente Cálida Jorge Tamames La principal amenaza que pesa sobre nuestras sociedades ya no es una globalización desregulada (que en paz descanse), sino la coerción de potencias como Estados Unidos y Rusia.

Rompo una lanza por los tratados comerciales de la UE, empezando con el de Mercosur. La globalización neoliberal ha muerto y hoy estos acuerdos sirven para no depender del tirano de turno. La izquierda se equivoca rechazándolos de plano.

Inside the Human Aspect of Climate Meetings — a Collection of COP Memories COP talks bring together thousands of people once a year with a goal to advance the fight against climate change. They’re cathartic events where hyper-technical diplomatic talk takes center stage. But...

A beautiful collection of histories and anecdotes of COPs:

COP31 will be hosted by Türkiye but run by Australia COP31 will be hosted in the city of Antalya, Turkiye, but Australia will hold the presidency of the next UN climate summit

#COP31 will be hosted by Türkiye, with Australia maintaining some powers of COP presidency to manage the climate negotiations, such as preparing draft texts and issuing a cover decision.

The Pacific will be hosting a pre-COP summit and pledging event for the Pacific Resilience Fund.

Planet Wreckers: The Global North Countries Fueling the Fire Since the Paris Agreement Since the Paris Agreement, 4 Global North countries — the US, Canada, Australia & Norway — blocked global progress on oil and gas phaseout.

In the 10 years since the Paris Agreement, global oil and gas production has increased more than 8%, when it should have been falling.

Four countries -US, Canada, Australia and Norway- are overwhelmingly responsible for the increase. The rest of the world has DECREASED its production since Paris.

COP30 needs an implementation forum, not another cover decision The focus in Belém should be a plan to get results on climate action in the real world rather than haggling over a political statement

"If that can be kept short, and focused, why not? But there would still be a need for an implementation forum alongside to give it credibility."

COP30 president hints Brazil may be open to a cover decision in Belém André Corrêa do Lago tells Climate Home News the COP30 talks could conclude with an additional text on key outcomes if countries want it - something Brazil has so far resisted

Until recently, Brazil ruled out a cover decision at COP30. Now, its president says he’ll listen if countries want one.

Las empresas fósiles no lideran la transición energética: sólo controlan el 1,42% de los proyectos renovables - Climática, el medio especializado en clima y biodiversidad Un estudio revela que solo el 0,13% de la energía primaria que extraen las empresas fósiles es renovable. Repsol está entre ellas.

Why COP30 needs a cover decision to succeed Amid entrenched divisions in formal negotiations, a cover decision is the most credible way to confront the ambition gap head-on

I wrote for @climatechangenews.com why #COP30 needs a #coverdecision to succeed

COP30’s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap. If #COP30 must respond to this ambition gap, a cover decision emerges as the most credible path forward.

TODOS los minerales que debemos extraer para la transición energética los próximos 25 AÑOS implican menos extractivismo minero que 1 SOLO AÑO de economía fósil. Un dato clave que aún no tiene relato ecologista que lo abandere. ¿Queremos decrecer en minería en términos absolutos? ¡Descarbonicemos!
