Time to listen: Human influence has warmed the climate at a rate that is unprecedented in at least the last 2000 years. Climate change is already affecting every inhabited region across the globe. Every tonne of CO2 emissions adds to global warming. || Time to act.

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

The #IPCC released its latest #ClimateReport today, #ClimateChange 2021: the Physical Science Basis.

“The role of human influence on the climate system is undisputed.” – Working Group I Co-Chair @valmasdel

CAT global update: Glasgow has a credibility gap between talk and action. If all govts met their 2030 targets, we would have 2.4˚C of warming in 2100. But right now, current policies put us at 2.7˚C. https://t.co/dkX4jAbo2f

[POLITICO @politico]

Chinese President Xi Jinping said Tuesday that his country would end support for building new coal-fired power plants abroad, a move that would cut off a key source of financing for the fuel most responsible for climate change

[Jorge Moreira da Silva @jmoreiradasilva]

The new @IPCC_CH #ClimateReport makes clear that development and climate action are inseparable, and concrete steps to align aid in support of developing countries’ net zero transitions is needed leading up to #COP26.

[Laurence Tubiana @LaurenceTubiana]

Le rapport du GIEC est clair : les températures augmentent dangereusement, se rapprochant de la barre des 1,5°.
On me demande souvent si je panique, ou si je perds espoir. Non. Je me bats. Nous nous battons.
#GIEC 1/5

[Özlem Yasemin Taskin @OzlemYTaskin]

With the @IPCC_CH report coming out tomorrow and @COP26 around the corner ➡️ the Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) has been approved by all govs „line-by-line“, making it „a solid starting point for (…) negotiations“.

[Alaa Al Khourdajie 🇪🇺 @DrAlaaClimate]

The fact that all goverments have approved the SPM line-by-line makes this document a solid starting point for future international negotiations, preventing countries from later claiming that the science is not settled on certain issues.

Meanwhile the people in power call themselves "climate leaders" as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants - granting new oil licenses exploring future oil drilling sites.
This is the world they are leaving for us.

[Jorge Moreira da Silva @jmoreiradasilva]

2/2 - Developing countries need urgent support to ensure they reap the benefits of new technologies, and are not left behind as the global energy sector moves forward. @IEA @fbirol prove there's no time to lose: we need to change actions now to protect global development. #COP26

[Jorge Moreira da Silva @jmoreiradasilva]

1/2 - @IEA’s roadmap is a must-read for the global effort to build back better, and shows how the green energy transition is a people’s development agenda. Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 will create millions of new jobs, lift economic growth, and access to electricity.

[Alex Doukas @adoukas]

For the 100s of public finance institutions that committed to align activities with the Paris Agreement at the @FinanceInCommon Summit: take a read through @IEA's new net zero pathway. It will take this & more to align with 1.5°C Paris ambition. https://t.co/f6EIDTaNUn

At 71, Xie is well beyond the usual retirement age of 60 for Chinese bureaucrats, making his return to diplomacy all the more striking.
