We have a new @UCLPolicyLab report out, reviewing the scientific evidence on the impacts of new oil and gas fields.

It finds that aligning with the Paris goals requires granting no new licenses or development consents for new oil and gas.

Very excited to have a paper in @ScienceMagazine today! Here's a 🧵 from our lead author Fergus 👇

[Fergus Green @fergusgreen]

Our new research in @sciencemagazine shows that no new fossil fuel projects are needed to meet energy demand in scenarios limiting warming to 1.5°C. We need bans & advocacy to build a #NoNewFossil norm https://t.co/3NvlvhLQqx @OlivierBvK @st_pye @FuelOnTheFire @ucl @IISD_Energy

1⃣ End of the #FossilFuel era

Countries committed for the first time to move away from fossil fuels—but haven't explicitly pledged to phase them out, nor set clear timelines.

Next step: set meaningful targets in nationally determined contributions (#NDCs) by Q1 2025.

@jeffreyqiyu But there's a very important part that is new: "no investment on new fossil fuel infrastructure".

AFAIK this is the first time ANY party or bloc has called for this on the floor

It 100% aligns with what the science says we need. See IISD's analysis:

New Episode 🎧 In Wednesday's #TheJolt, @SamJamesMorgan looks into a new UN report on global #emissions and our lack of progress in reducing them, plus the US offers up $2bn to help poorer communities go green https://t.co/ZH823mNwKO With @FuelOnTheFire &

The @UNEP #EmissionsGap Report is out!

Findings show the 🌏 is heading for 2.5–2.9°C of warming unless gov'ts bring in more ambitious targets to 2035 & 📈 financial & technical assistance for an equitable energy transition.

@UNEP @IOPenvironment @FuelOnTheFire @Nature @DanTong12 As usual, UNSG @antonioguterres was on point: closing the “emissions canyon” and keeping 1.5C alive “requires tearing out the poisoned root of the climate crisis: fossil fuels.”

[Kelly Trout @kellyatrout]

@UNEP The #EGR shows *existing* fossil fuel extraction & consumption infrastructure could cause enough CO2 to obliterate the 1.5C carbon budget and must be phased out early, using data from @IOPenvironment study by me + @FuelOnTheFire et al and @Nature study by @DanTong12 et al.

[Dr Natalie Jones @nataliejon_es]

Reading through the new #EmissionsGap report @UNEP I'm struck by how much attention it places on fossil fuels. This is unprecedented and it will be an incredibly useful resource.

Some choice quotes:

Climate impacts are intensifying worldwide, yet emissions continue to rise.

From the new #EmissionsGap report: GHG emissions in 2030 need to be 22Gt (42%) lower than we're on course for under current policies

[Greg Muttitt @FuelOnTheFire]

UNEP Exec Dir @andersen_inger at launch of #EmissionsGap rpt today:
The coal, oil & gas extracted over the lifetime of producing & planned mines and fields would obliterate the 1.5°C carbon budget many times over. Govts can't keep greenlighting huge fossil fuel projects

[Greg Muttitt @FuelOnTheFire]

UN Sec Gen @antonioguterres at today's #EmissionsGap report launch:
The emissions gap is more like an emissions canyon. In 2030, we're set for emissions to be 22 Gt higher than the 1.5C litmit would allow - that gap is equivalent to today's emissions of US, China and EU combined

[Kevin Anderson @KevinClimate]

#COP28 needs voices of the Global South/Majority to raise the discussion far beyond the colonial norms & wider inequalities embedded deep in the @IPCC_CH (WGIII). See: https://t.co/1Pqiv8kQUf
It’s 2023, yet the framing of climate change remains locked into a yesteryear mindset.
