No surprises here, but terrifying news. 5th year into decade of #climateaction Many working on action but system is complacent. Smashing through 1.5C in 2024 is catalyst to embrace crisis & rapidly reduce emissions by c.10% p.a. 2024 to 2029. Lets go! bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Happy new year everyone! To start off on a positive note. We have the technology we need to solve the #ClimateCrisis 2024 is the year to go large with investment, implementation and deployment! @WMBtweets @CDP @IEA @IRENA

This fact has not changed during the year.
We don't need miracle techs to address climate. We need to deploy, deploy, deploy existing techs as fast as possible.

In #Paris EPE event #ecologicaltransition for 2030. I asked if they can meet the science & reduce emissions by 10% p.a. by 2030. They all said yes! This is the #leadership we need. @ERM we are committed to help our clients do this. @COP28_UAE @BICGroup @Veolia @ClearChannelFr

This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand climate risk. It is the risk of tipping points AKA feedback loops that terrified me some 25 years ago and have directed my work since. @WeMeanBusiness_ @CDP @CCAG

Important new report: Just as in the IPCC, it shows that if we go beyond 1.5, we enter a high-risk zone of crossing tipping points. We need to move fast to avoid moving to a point where the Earth system takes over & pushed us in a direction with unmanageable conditions.

Must-read thread on the supposed "slow-down" in EV sales, which is really shorthand for "not actually slowing down, but incumbent car manufacturers being out-competed by new entrants".
5 Dec 2023
Lots of headlines written about how EV demand is faltering. Is it?
Global EV sales are on pace for a record year. Heading for around 14 million sold, up 36%.

At the amazing @bloomberggreen Al Gore & Akshat Rathi shook the room post lunch Al: "Solving climate is a polysolution - getting our collective act together to solve climate change will also enable us to sort out democracy, the extinction crisis and protect our sanity".

This is the kind of advertising we need to see. This ad in the @FT today calls for a fossil fuel #freefuture.
I stand with the MILLIONS ready to help national governments deliver a rapid, just & equitable phase out.

"Fossil fuels are now in terminal decline in the US. China could have 3,000 GW of renewable energy by 2030. The world is changing rapidly. We must stop all methane leakage by 2030 and ban flaring. We must not permit unabated Fossil fuels." @JohnKerry @Bloomberg @COP28_UAE

A clear and powerful request from business leaders for @COP28_UAE Business has the potential to innovate, invest and accelerate solutions to #climatechange Policy makers need to send stronger signals for that to happen at the pace required. @WMBtweets @wbcsd @ermglobal @CDP

As the debate about how, & how quickly, we can phase out fossil fuels hots up, its great to see @WMBtweets launch a set of principles to guide companies in that transition. #fossiltoclean wemeanbusinesscoalition.org/… @CDP @wbcsd #ClimateWeekNYC @BSRnews @CeresNews @ClimateGroup

📢 The science is clear. We have made great strides in scaling up clean solutions, but emissions are still rising globally because we have not tackled the primary cause of climate change. So today we are proud to launch #FossiltoClean: bit.ly/3RqpqIu

Enough said. Once again political ideology tumps common sense and damages confidence in the government.

This analysis by @CambridgeEcon showed UK benefitted economically by having a ban on new petrol & diesel cars in 2030 compared to 2035
30k jobs and £4.2bn boost to the economy
That's what Sunak is throwing away, giving in to climate sceptic backbenchers

I cant help wonder if @RishiSunak is performing a @trussliz moment. He completely misses the point that the goal is to limit warming to 1.5C, #netzero is needed but cumulative emissions are critical. Sunak announces series of U-turns on net zero pledges ft.com/content/02ecb92e-1e67…

Good to see businesses pushing back on @Conservatives @RishiSunak back tracking on #NetZero policies. Investors & business need clear, consistent, long term policies & will innovate & invest accordingly driving growth. Lets not repeat the Netzero housing mistake. @WMBtweets @CDP

Over 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ businesses and NGOs including @UKSIF, @Nestle, @IKEA, @AvivaUK and @eonenergyuk have written to @RishiSunak to call for #CredibleClimateLeadership and express concern at plans to water down the UK's #NetZero policies.
