As we head into the final stretch of #IMO #MEPC80 meetings, I want to address some #disinformation we’re seeing about two goals we have this week: a) targets for decarbonisation, and b) the levy.
A thread:

#ClimateActionNow

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

For more on these gaps in ambition & implementation – and what the world needs to do to close them – take a look at the analysis in our World Energy Outlook 2022:

Key findings: https://t.co/afCL5Uf0wv

Our Net Zero Roadmap: https://t.co/cvYU4au4Ic

More to come later this year!

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

This leaves an implementation gap of around 5 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2030 between current policies & NDCs on one hand, and net zero pledges on the other

And on top of that there is an 8.5 billion-tonne ambition gap in 2030 between net zero pledges & our 1.5 C pathway

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Under current policy settings & Nationally Determined Contributions, global warming is set to reach 2.5 C, well above the Paris goals

If countries adopt new policies & NDCs in line with their net zero pledges, warming may be limited to 1.7 C – better, but still going above 1.5 C

"We know that oil & gas are responsible for climate change! So the world must put a stop to the usage of fossil fuels. It is about justice.” Brilliant words from👩‍🎓 Catalia Vusi & Joyline Alfred from Pele Island in Vanuatu. 🇩🇰 dedicated to fight climate change #BOGA @danjoergensen

[Jennifer Morgan @climatemorgan]

The #ClimateFinance Delivery Plan (2021) projected that the $100 Bn p.a. goal would be achieved in 2023. Based on the assumptions underlying that projection, as well as the contributors´ positive updates from yesterday, the contributors fully expect to meet the goal this year.

[Jennifer Morgan @climatemorgan]

As a first step - Yesterday, @s_guilbeault & I co-convened a group of contributors to consider the $100 billion collective mobilization goal, in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation.

[The Beyond Oil & Gas Alliance @beyondoilgas]

Today’s @IPCC_CH report shows that we need a managed phase out of oil and gas, now

#BOGA members are leading the way by:

🛑 Halting new licensing rounds

📉 Setting Paris Aligned end dates for existing production

🌍 Working to establish a just, global phase out

[Tomas Anker Christensen @dkClimateAmb]

“Important meeting with #UN Secretary General @antonioguterres. We agree there is no alternative to defending the rule-based international order. We will continue to defend #UNCharter like we have this past year during Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.”

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

No more excuses.

No more greenwashing.

No more bottomless greed of the fossil fuel industry and its enablers.

2023 must be a year of game-changing #ClimateAction.

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

Last year China invested $546 billion in clean energy.

The EU invested $180 billion.

The US invested $141 billion.

In total, countries around the world invested about a trillion dollars in clean energy in 2022.
