🇺🇸 The US may join 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇴🇳🇿in forging a deal at the @OECD to end $41 billion/yr in public finance for fossil fuels.
🇰🇷Korea is now the biggest obstacle to a deal. Talks start TODAY.
@MOTIEKoreaEng @moefkorea_eng - don't block a clean energy future.

Breaking: UN Pact for the Future is adopted & repeats agreement made at COP28 to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, triple renewable energy, and double energy efficiency.
Fossil fuel phaseout is the new normal for #climate action.

“I call on advertising & PR companies to stop acting as enablers to planetary destruction by working for the fossil fuel industry.
Stop taking on new fossil fuel clients & set out plans to drop your existing ones.”

#ClimateChange: "We must secure the safest possible future for people and planet. That means taking urgent action: slash emissions; protect people and nature from climate extremes; boost climate finance; and clamp down on fossil fuel industry"– UN chief @antonioguterres
Congratulations to Belize who becomes the 25th member of the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance, and our first Caribbean member 👏👏👏
Belize is the first small island developing state with production to implement an offshore licensing ban 🌎

I fully agree with @antonioguterres that the idea that an entire island state could become collateral damage for profiteering by the fossil fuel industry, or competition between major economies, is simply obscene. We must do better. #SIDS4 https://t.co/zldmoqVCMk #ClimateAction
The ministerial declaration of the #G7Italy is out. It's the "bare minimum" to advance the debate on phasing out #FossilFuels. We need to see concrete plans to end coal, oil and gas use and so far the bloc has only paid lip service to what has been agreed in Dubai.
Short 🧵
The #COP28 UAE Consensus 🇦🇪 gave a clear signal on the need for a global transition away from #fossilfuels.
This week’s @WorldBank@IMFNews#SpringMeetings marked a critical moment in turning ambition on the global transition away from fossil fuels into action.
🧵
NEW REPORT: Our latest w/ @transenv, @ZerocarbonA, @WWFNorge & @GreenpeaceNorge reveals that the EU’s demand for gas is set to decline significantly w/ climate targets, eliminating the need to expand supply from new fields or infrastructure.

A belated happy 2024 everyone! I highly recommend reading/watching the powerful speech @simonstiell@unfccc delivered earlier today to get you energized for #COP29 and the climate progress we must achieve this year 💪 https://t.co/uroLVYfNET
This Politico article on LNG leaves out the most important fact: *current* LNG exports already fulfill Europe’s demand, which is only set to decline.
It’s scaremongering to suggest otherwise — which of course is exactly what the industry is doing. https://t.co/qCiOZgchCN
The #COP28 outcome is by no means perfect, but... we did it everyone. For the first time in 28 years of climate negotiations, we finally have the courage to name and confront the root cause of the climate crisis: fossil fuels. There is no going back. #FFPO https://t.co/fMdXmlVegm
The end of the fossil fuel era is in motion.
We knew #COP28 was going to be tough, but at least the elephant in the room – fossil fuel phase out – was finally addressed.
Clear progress since Paris.
1/5
The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes included in the final agreement.
Fossil fuel interests went all out to control the outcome, but the passionate work of millions of climate activists around the world inspired and motivated delegates from many nations to loosen the industry’s grip.
Whether this is a turning point that truly marks the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era depends on the actions that come next and the mobilization of finance required to achieve them.
We must ask ourselves how much longer will the world have wait before all nations summon the political will to overcome these narrow special interests and act on behalf of the future of humanity. It is up to all of us to hold our leaders accountable to their promise to transition away from fossil fuels once and for all.
Well ok then, if the @FT calls it ‘historic’, the board rooms and investors better pull out their money from #FossilFuels and invest in accelerating the energy transition.
#COP28
The world has declared the end of the fossil fuel era at #COP28 .
This is an extraordinary turning point for these negotiations that has come far later than it needed to.
Policy makers and investors take note: you will be held to this decision. No loopholes, no delay.

THE AGE OF FOSSIL FUELS IS OVER!!! 💨☀️☀️World governments have agreed @COP28_UAE that we must triple renewables and double energy efficiency globally. 💨☀️☀️ NEXT: We MUST find the funds to help countries transition from dirty to clean energy, in a way that is fast & fair. This is beginning of a new dawn 🌅, in which we must rapidly phase out fossil fuels as we build wind and solar at ⚡️speed to ensure we protect the planet from more warming & have the energy we need! For details, here’s the Global Renewables Alliance: https://t.co/ikQwXmbn0R
