Policy, technology, and financing pathways to tackle climate change. @DDPP_Project #Mexico;

This is what MAC curves are all about, and what climate economics has focused upon in the past. But it is not what the climate change challenge is about. We do not need marginal changes to reduce emissions a little. We need structural changes to reduce emissions to zero. #NetZero

This is how it's done. Set a date - and the sooner the better.

COMMENT | We, Costa Rica and Denmark, are moving beyond oil. To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, we encourage friends and allies to do the same.

Me llega esta carta anónima esta mañana, dejada en la portería de casa. No sé si enmarcarla o reconsiderar seriamente mi estudio cotidiano. Habrá que volver a Bach. Siempre acabas volviendo a Bach.

The IDB called our support to Costa Rica's decarbonisation plan a highlight of the last 15 years improving lives and a framework for the future.

Yes, an important point... 🙄

For the information of our friends of the @ndcpartnership: It is Colombia, not Columbia! Thanks in advance 😬.

En realidad México ya no pesa en el balance global de crudo. Estar o no estar, hacer esperar o no 5 horas no es trascendente globalmente. Debemos acostumbrarnos: no somos ya un país “petrolero”. Lo trágico es que las finanzas públicas sigan petrolizadas.

[Daniel Buira @DanielBuira]

This is what currently passes for strategic thinking in Mexico's energy policy circles.

[Bloomberg @business]

Most oil producers are racing to deal with the historic oil price collapse by cutting back spending. Mexico’s national oil company is acting like the crash never happened https://t.co/EkL4ob20eQ

Brilliant!!!
Parody often exaggerates, but in this case there was no need - what countries today call "climate ambition" parodies itself.

Today, I am pleased to announce a bold and ambitious commitment:

I change my diet to go 100% healthy food by 2050, and 45% healthy food by 2030 relative to my diet from 15 years ago when I was a college freshman.

Parece que en el sistema legal de Países Bajos lo tienen claro: la Agencia Internacional de Energía no tiene escenarios consistentes con las metas del Acuerdo de Paris. Pueden servir para otras cosas, pero no para marcar el rumbo al que debemos movernos https://t.co/mmzVIbQE55

[Daniel Buira @DanielBuira]

Congratulations! Facing climate change will certainly be about choices - and making sure people recognise what they imply either way - so this is a very smart way to frame the thinking. Here's to research pragmatism with clarity and autonomy... we look forward to your great work!

Launched today: the Canadian Institute for @ClimateChoices is working to bring clarity to the transformative challenges and opportunities ahead for Canada as governments at all levels tackle climate change. https://t.co/XU5cVZ0hgn

[Daniel Buira @DanielBuira]

@ThomasASpencer A very helpful summary of what the UK has achieved and how, and why even more will be required in other countries - particularly large coal-based systems like China and India - to reduce emissions from power generation in a manner consistent with the Paris goals.

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

Humans have put over 300 parts per million of CO₂ into the atmosphere, but the CO₂ concentration has increased only ~120 ppm.

The land & ocean sinks have cleaned up half our mess, but will this continue as climate impacts increase?

[Daniel Buira @DanielBuira]

This is bad. It isn't just about private vs public ownership, but about undermining the economic logic of the independent renewable project development paradigm under which Mexico's clearest climate plans to date have been conceived.

And it wrecks investor confidence, as well.

It seems like #cop25 in Madrid is falling apart right now. The science is clear, but the science is being ignored.
Whatever happens we will never give up. We have only just begun.

Please please please retweet. This matters NOW.

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

Some major developed countries & large developing nations just met to discuss Article 6, primarily Markets & the carrying over of Kyoto Protocol Units into the new Paris Agreement mechanism. This is central to environmental integrity! Why were vulnerable nations excluded? #COP25

[Daniel Buira @DanielBuira]

I'll wager a bottle of wine this information will not impact on the work of the negotiators who participate in the forthcoming #COP25. The clearer the science and the more dire the facts, the more glaringly obvious becomes the inadequacy of the UNFCCC. It is not fit for purpose.

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

10 years ago science showed there are 15 known Earth tipping elements that regulate the state of the Planet. Today we present findings that 9 of these 15 systems are on the move. There is now scientific support for declaring a state of Planetary Emergency https://t.co/eahKmOnUxg
