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
A Thread 🧵
A financial package to speed South Africa’s transition away from coal is creating a buzz at #Cop26 climate talks, where campaigners hope it could provide a model for other emerging economies

COMMENT
To keep 1.5C alive, the super rich must change their high carbon lifestyles
The richest 1% are using way more than their fair share of the 1.5C carbon budget. Tackling inequality and emissions must go together

The regions contributing the least to climate change are set to be those most impacted.
Africa contributes only 4% to global emissions, yet up to 86 million people could be forced to migrate by 2050 due to climate change.
We must right this climate injustice [1/3]
#COP26 has dropped all the key priorities for Africa from the agenda i.e. Africa’s needs and special circumstances, Adaptation and Finance and told to just accept it. Africa’s priorities relegated to footnotes.

#ProductionGap report shows that governments’ production plans and projections would lead to:
⚫️ 240% more coal
🛢57% more oil
🔥 71% more gas
in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Wealthy countries committed to stump up $100 billion a year to help low-income countries act on #ClimateChange, but only Germany, Norway and Sweden are paying their fair share – with the biggest shortfall coming from the US ▶️ https://t.co/n2h3tUwjhd
One of my personal favourites. A figure we did in Chapter 1 of #IPCC#ClimateReport showing the five considered scenarios, the timings peaking and halving CO2 emissions as well as when they reach net-zero. Together with @ed_hawkins beautiful stripes.

@KateRaworth@ProfTimJackson Reflecting on this @KateRaworth what do you think about the role of natural capital assessment and ecosystem services valuation ? Opportunities for an essential shift or still entangled in the capitalism narrative ?
It's been a pleasure to work on Rhino values with @WWF's Robin Naidoo and @SRTNamibia's Jeff Muntifering. Thanks to @NNF_Namibia and the team for pulling this together!

Reminder: climate change is no April fool's joke.
We are warming the climate at an unprecedented rate, due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
I am deeply shocked by the killing of dozens of civilians, including children & young people, by security forces in Myanmar today.
The continuing military crackdown is unacceptable and demands a firm, unified & resolute international response. https://t.co/qtnQaH5jvN
