Today I’m thrilled about the launch of a framework created with countries on how best to build & implement plans to reach net zero emissions. This is an important first step to reach #truezero and I hope more countries join this effort 2/2 carbon-neutrality.global/wp-content/upl…

Why Europe can and must ban imports of Russian oil immediately, and enact import tariffs on coal&gas. It has both more impact on Russia and less cost on Europe than we realize.

@chuks_okereke Time to go deep on how this aspiration can be met, where the trade offs and the opportunities are to deliver Nigeria’s socio-economic goals while bringing carbon emissions down. Counting on you, Pr. Okereke.

Good news!! President Buhari has just pledged that Nigeria will achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2060, ten years ahead of India. The question now is where the numbers came from as thus is not in the NDC or LTV, and also the degree of intent to implement/deliver!!

Having been part of the Paris negotiations, watching my own country break the promises it made there is heartbreaking. Australia is showing up to #COP26 empty handed apart from a net zero plan that is courageous by Yes Minister standards. My @guardian oped.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Going into #COP26 I am trying to remove tactical arrogance from my conversations (if we knew how to transform the political landscape we would have done it already) and remember who is really to blame (it is not people inside the movement however fiercely we might disagree)

On Oct 13, @WorldResources experts will examine long-term strategy plans submitted thus far, how they can drive ambitious national climate action in the near-term, and help deliver on #NetZero emission goals. Register: ow.ly/gfag50Gn4zP

There are many problems with Australia, UK and US announcement #AUKUS, but what consequences for climate action and preparation of #COP26? Have UK and US used deal to get any leverage on Australia to raise ambition? Above all how will this impact China ahead of COP26?

Scientists did their job, it is time for leaders to do theirs. Ditch coal. Start cutting emissions. Stop subsidising fossil fuels. Deliver 1.5°C aligned climate targets. Invest the agreed lower limit of $100billion & help mobilise the trillions needed beyond it. #IPCC 4/4

Pledges made so far under the Paris Agreement would bring us to about 2.4°C according to Climate Action Tracker. Many countries are yet to submit climate targets. COP26 will be a clarifying moment: how serious are G20 countries about tackling the climate crisis? #IPCC 3/4

I am often asked if I am panicking or losing hope. I am not. Instead, I am fighting, we are fighting, because every fraction of a degree matters. We can still stay within 1.5°C, but world leaders need to act now. #IPCC 2/4
