Do you want to better understand IPCC emissions pathways and their implications for global warming?
What are 1.5C pathways and what do they bring us?
We developed a new interactive explainer @CarbonBrief exactly on this topic. (1)
"Novel CDR techniques must be integrated into the EU's climate policies" - new comment in @CommsEarth, led by @MathiasFridahl.
Our 3 recommendations:
▶️ETS: conditional integration
▶️LULUCF: more CDR methods
▶️ESR: start discussion on hard-to-abate https://t.co/VDmBKzOMBO
Nat Sci colleagues: What do you make of "GHG destruction" what does it encompass and, specifically, are there GHGs under the mandate of the Paris Agreement which when broken down into other gases are not chemically stable (i.e. risk to reverse into higher-GWP GHGs)?
Text on removals guidance in A6.4 includes language, which is arguably to accommodate for measures that break down environmental methane. Trying to figure out if the chosen wording could be problematic.
Question pointed out by @EmmaJagu
#COP28 new draft texts
Our shiny new text tracker is kicking into gear, as draft texts begin to appear on a range of topics
It's tracking 149 separate agenda items (!)
Here's the latest on Article 6.2 bilateral trading, mitigation work prog & more

Today at #COP28, world leaders are presenting their pledges at the World #ClimateAction Summit - #WCAS.
For the 🇪🇺, @EU_Commission@vonderleyen and @eucopresident Charles Michel join national heads of state and government.
Here's what they're saying. 🧵

I’m in Dubai for #COP28. Many are asking: ‘why is civil society attending a climate conference headed by an oil and gas CEO?’
Less people are asking: who benefits when global civil society is not there to hold their governments and fossil fuel interests accountable?
#COP28 : In the first Global Stocktake text, the bullet point "carbon management/removal approaches" comes just after the fossil fuel language. We will see a contested package deal on this section, with the exact wording expected to go back and forth for quite some time
Outstanding that all parties have come together in an expression of solidarity to adopt the new Loss and Damage Fund in the opening of #COP28
Proud that Germany 🇩🇪 & UAE 🇦🇪could together provide the $100 Mio each to start capitalising the fund. Hopefully more pledges to follow!
$100m for loss & damage from UAE at #COP28. Big move in a big moment at UN talks. Sets precedent other major economies + oil states / companies can follow.
Out now: “Governing permanence of CDR: a typology of policy measures”Our new @CO2REhub policy report, led by Josh Burke.
Governing permanence must be at the heart of CDR policy, laying the groundwork for market integration & future Art. 6 negotiations

BREAKING: The #LossAndDamage Fund has just been operationalised at #COP28.
It's a historic moment — but critical concerns must still be addressed.
🧵Thread on what this decision means and what must happen next:
On Tuesday, #COP27 delegates were dashing from room to room, trying to keep up with back-to-back negotiation sessions on a variety of topics, from #climate finance to #climateadaptation and #lossanddamage

Carbon stored is not either permanent or temporary. For example
🤔C stored in nature isn't temporary
🧐Liquid CO2 underground isn't permanent
🤯Carbon can be stored temporarily for centuries
Nuances are needed, here is a new way to depict CO2 storage https://t.co/vSmMc1U9nz
The 17th European @IA4EE conference starts today in Athens @HAEE_Greece.
Now speaking @Ch_Bonnery on plenary session "Green energy transition during the unprecedented energy crisis: is it time to step back or move forward?" @FR_AEE.
Every tonne of carbon dioxide we add to the atmosphere adds to #GlobalWarming. To stabilize #GlobalWarming we need emissions to reach #NetZero.
So, what does #NetZero mean? #IPCC scientist @joeri_rogelj explains…
Today at 5pm I'll be presenting my paper @FR_AEE. Carbon removal certification is currently being designed in Europe. What will be its impact on the deployment of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage?
