🚨My new article on why climate hope is still warranted after lackluster #COP29 and recent U.S. election! 🌍 ❤️

The world is on track to overshoot the 1.5°C warming limit this year, but it's not too late. Countries are making progress on renewable energy, phasing out coal, and setting new climate goals for 2025. An environmental studies professor explains why she sees hope:

My Reaction to the COP29 Outcome
“At COP29, developed nations once again coerced developing countries into accepting a financial deal woefully inadequate to address the gravity of our global climate crisis. The deal fails to provide the critical support required for developing countries to transition swiftly from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy systems, or to prepare for the devastating impacts of the climate crisis, leaving them severely under-resourced.
“The outcome offers false hope to those already bearing the brunt of climate disasters and abandons vulnerable communities and nations, leaving them to face these immense challenges alone. We must persist in our fight, demanding a significant increase in financing and holding developed countries to account for delivering real, impactful actions.”

Climate finance talks at #COP29 off to a rocky start as developing countries unanimously rejected the text proposed as a starting point for negotiations.
They have asked the co-chairs overseeing talks to prepare a new text before the negotiators meet again.
Countdown to #COP29! The @gcjlab is getting ready to watch the opening ceremony. See how we prepped and divided our research clusters coming into these new negotiations:

It was another successful @GCJLab Policy and Media training weekend at @USCWrigley last week! We can’t wait to bring you all the latest #climatejustice takes on mitigation, finance and civil society in the lead up to and during #COP29!
1/3. The US 🇺🇸 once again calls for an expansion of the contributor base for #ClimateFinance for the New Collective Quantified Goal on #ClimateFinance (#NCQG) (i.e. they want large developing country economies to contribute). This would be a massive #ClimateInjustice! 😡
