Oil & Gas Transitions

Creating just & feasible transition scenarios for #oilandgas in the #NorthSea region. Co-led by @SEIResearch & @climatestrat. Newsletter:

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

🌍🚨 77 Nobel Laureates & World Leaders are sounding the alarm on the @UN Summit not mentioning fossil fuels 🚨🌍

The omission of fossil fuels from the draft Pact for the Future is a critical issue as the #SummitOfTheFuture2024 nears. 🌿💔

The @IEA has shown that a 1.5C-aligned, net-zero by 2050 transition would mean lower energy costs globally than a pathway under current policies. Honoured to work with ASG @SelwinHart to help ensure a fast and fair fossil fuel phase-out & energy transition. Read his interview ⤵️

[Damian Carrington @dpcarrington]

The other #petrostates - US, Canada, Norway, UK and Australia

- often portrayed as climate leaders, these are responsible for two-thirds of all new oil and gas licences issued globally since 2020

BP has predicted that the world’s demand for oil will peak next year, bringing an end to rising global carbon emissions by the mid-2020s amid a surge in wind and solar power.

North Sea oil decline: ‘We can’t have a repeat of what happened to 80s miners’

- Unions & climate groups call for ‘clear & funded’ transition plan for communities reliant on dwindling industry

📣 @antonioguterres on #WorldEnvironmentDay‌

“Economic logic makes the end of the fossil fuel age inevitable.

The only questions are: Will that end come in time? And will the transition be just?

We must ensure the answer to both questions is: yes”

A thing that is often overlooked in the climate debate is that #G7 countries produce 1/3 of the world's oil and gas.

Without a G7 plan to end fossil fuels at home and abroad, the #COP28 pledge will remain words on paper.

[Pacific Islands Climate Action Network (PICAN) @CANPacificIs]

Momentum grows as country number 13 calls for a @fossiltreaty negotiating mandate!

This critical move recognizes that ongoing fossil fuel extraction clashes with the 1.5°C limit, a limit that aims to ease the devastating climate impacts on SIDS.

New research finds that major emitters ‘may retain or expand’ #FossilFuels despite #NetZero plans. This is based on an analysis of 71 long-term national #climate strategies.

[UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources @UCL_ISR]

The UK Government has granted hundreds of new exploration licences for #NorthSea #oil and #gas, and plans to continue granting more - why, and what does this mean for #netzero? Our own Paul Ekins explains in a new article with the @GRI_LSE.

[IISD Economies @IISD_ELP]

📢With its vote for the EU 🇪🇺 to leave the #EnergyCharterTreaty, @Europarl_EN underlines that granting #fossilfuel companies privileged access to #ISDS is fundamentally incompatible with #climateaction.

It's #UNGASustainabilityWeek!

The 🌏 has passed the halfway point on the #SDGs but current policies will not be enough to limit warming to 1.5°C.

Take a look as we put the spotlight on energy (#SDG7) & climate action (#SDG13). 👇

#China can achieve its #climate goals but the impacts of its #EnergyTransition on the economy will depend on choices about power sector reform.🏭

⚠️ #SouthAfrica has proposed plans to 📈 gas-fired power, but this risks ⬆️ dependence on fossil fuels & exposure to volatile markets.

With the price of renewables ⬇️ 77% since 2011, 🇿🇦 must shift focus.

A new @IISD_news report outlines a way forward. 👇

Have you read this brand new report from @PriceofOil and @foe_us?

Let us know your thoughts!

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

⚡ Just Released ⚡New @PriceOfOil and @FOE_US report shows a handful of governments are blocking a just transition to renewable energy by pouring billions 💵 into fossil fuel projects every year.

As #JustTransitions are applied "in country after country and sector after sector, it’s clear that the fairness of the transition has to be got right and people have to be at its heart."🤝

[IISD Energy @IISD_Energy]

“The vast majority of financing decisions for #ClimateAction do not explicitly consider the social opportunities, the risks, or the dialogue needed to ensure success"

For a truly #JustTransition, the financial system must transform, @NVJRobins1 explains👇

❗️NEW ANALYSIS reveals that many big #OilAndGas producers increased #FossilFuel outputs in the 7⃣ years after the #ParisAgreement.

Producers need to scale up innovation & early-stage #JustTransitions, not ramp up oil & gas, as OGT research shows: https://t.co/Sr9kCHm387

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth. It must choose: keep contributing to the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy.

Its efforts to date aren’t encouraging. It accounts for only 1% of global clean energy investment → https://t.co/wVOwT9CkGw

Head of O&G @MikeCoffin: "our new scorecard enables investors to assess #oilandgas companies’ actions relative to peers & to ask tough questions of company leadership on the realities of the #EnergyTransition & addressing #ClimateChange” https://t.co/qcxWVhO6G5 #CERAWeek
