“It is factually wrong [to say 1.5C is dead]... What I look at are the numbers. To say that 1.5C is dead and that we will never reach a peak [in emissions] before 2030 is dogmatic and in my view not a data-driven conclusion.” https://t.co/WJDDUH1jzr

[Thomas Hale @thomasnhale]

If all 18 governments do as the US is proposing and require @sciencetargets for major government procurement it will be a major step toward #netzero regulation

[Luiz Fernando do Amaral @Lfernandoamaral]

It has been a great start to #COP27 for corporate climate action and @sciencetargets - here are some thoughts from me on the key developments.

[Rosie Williams @RosieReckons]

Very exciting to see the UN HLEG's strong and clear recommendations for net-zero commitments launched today.

Zero-tolerance for greenwashing.

[Science Based Targets initiative @sciencetargets]

In response to the new report from the UN High-Level Expert Group shared at #COP27, SBTi's CEO @Lfernandoamaral said:
"Huge thank you to the UN High-Level Expert Group for its net-zero commitments report and to the UN Secretary General Guterres for convening the process.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:

We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.

Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.

We need urgent #ClimateAction.

Interesting but old study - a bottle of wine is equiviliant cancer risk to smoking 10 cigarettes 😯

Today, the #SBTi is leading a global #NetZeroActionDay. 🌏

On this day and beyond, we are calling for more companies across the world to commit to setting #NetZero targets.

We must all make net-zero the priority. It’s now or never.

Ground-breaking Oxford University paper (which had a soft launch earlier but now is in scientific journal Joule) deserves enormous air time

It overturns the common thinking that decarbonizing will be hugely expensive. It’s not – in fact it saves us $5-15 TRILLION

Comedian and host John Oliver recently shared an entertaining take on the role of carbon offsets in corporate #NetZero targets.

A science-based understanding of net-zero is crucial if we are to see the emissions reductions we need. 🧵
