Watched a fossil fuel plant at #cop27 insist that carbon capture and storage is critical to the clean energy transition & then get shut down by a panelist, because CCS only addresses decarbonization and has no place in a just transition @ClimateBlue

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

Stunning displays of environmental art at #COP27 #turkiye to draw attention to the ecological damage caused by consumer packaging & fashion waste @ClimateBlue

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

A key barrier to deploying climate adaptation financing is the lack of transparency. OS-Climate is a consortium building open-source climate data to reduce risk and speed up the financing of impact projects of all sizes @ClimateBlue

Over 700M Africans in fragile communities will be displaced by climate change by 2030. #COP27 President announced the Climate Responses for Sustaining Peace initiative to unlock climate adaptation financing for peace, security, & conflict prevention

#COP27 #youthday Africa has the resources the world needs for a clean energy transition. Without investment & tech transfer to build value-added products in Africa, the next generation will remain trapped in extractive, fossil fuel economies. @ClimateBlue

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

#COP27 @ClientEarth is suing companies to disclose the climate risks of new fossil fuel investments. They are winning in court, & shutting down new coal plants! @ClimateBlue

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

#COP27 #FinanceDay Carbon-based digital currencies have the potential to drive climate finance in a direction that is more open, distributed, and inclusive - but there are moral concerns about tokenizing nature @ClimateBlue

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

"There's no IRR on saving the world. We need a new financial model that values people and the environment.” @WBCSD at #COP27 #FinanceDay @ClimateBlue

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Damn it feels good to be a Michigander.

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

#FT #COP27 climate finance panel declares fossil fuel investment is dead, with or without policy changes. There’s no stopping clean energy’s increasing cost advantages over oil & gas. @ClimateBlue

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

City governments are on the front lines of the climate crisis. A panel of global city leaders talked about how cities can get better at unlocking finance for climate resiliency and net-zero initiatives. @ClimateBlue #uncop27

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

Great to see the IPCC acknowledge the importance of indigenous knowledge and local practitioners when assessing the adaption needs of countries. @climateblue #uncop27

Hi, I'm in year 2 of UofM's SEAS program with a BEC concentration. My background is in climate tech deployment, and I run an EJ impact charity. My focus at SEAS is the roles of behavior & communication in the adoption of climate adaptation & resiliency solutions.

Now is the time for scientists to expand their focus from mitigating emissions by the global North to avoiding the emissions as people in the Global South move out of poverty and attend to the well-being of people in cities. @climateblue #uncop27 #iclei

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

Our ecosystems and carbon sinks are past the capacity to support our growth. https://t.co/w4gLIkqbo9 is a film exploring the latest thinking and action from many of the world's top scientists, innovators, and activists on climate restoration @climateblue #uncop27

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

Global Innovation Hub calls to innovate our way out of the limits to growth, including innovations in our political systems away from the current power dynamics. Local production and ag vs moonshots! #climateblue #uncop27

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

Strong words from @CANintl about climate finance, 70% of which come as loans that drive further resource extraction in the Global South. Their position is that loss and damage compensation is a human right. #climateblue #uncop27

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

Leaving Cairo for #cop27, so excited to be attending with @climateblue

[Jaron Rothkop @jaronzero]

We have better battery technologies, but not better batteries. Here’s why https://t.co/KQsOcMgGxi
