Low-carbon infrastructure will be determinant to achieve a post-COVID-19 green economic recovery — with a big job creation potential💡

[Pep Canadell @pepcanadell]

The post-COVID-19 without changes to current climate policies will do little to bend the emissions curve downwards. it will mainly delay the increase; but it doesn't need to be this way.

Very sad to hear about @SaleemulHuq's death. Here is his last co-authored article published by the Guardian. Since we met in Oxford and at every single COP, Saleem has been a source of inspiration. RIP Saleem, you will be sorely missed. I hope your legacy will stay with us.

[Fiona Harvey @fionaharvey]

⁦⁦@Guardian publishes the final writing of ⁦@SaleemulHuq⁩ and it’s a warning to rich countries to step up for #Cop28 urgently, as climate crisis accelerates around us. Powerful writing as ever. Co-authored with ⁦@Prof_FSultana⁩ https://t.co/nWMuBsX4lc

Governments MUST uphold & swiftly deliver on their promise to keep global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
Every fraction of a degree matters which is why I've signed this statement.
Please take the time to read and share 🙏🏽https://t.co/YdRvL7P4gN #COP27 #Allinfor2030 #Allinfor2030

How the European energy crisis is reverberating around the world:

Pakistan will ration this winter gas supply to households: 3 hours of supply in the morning; 2 in the afternoon, and 3 in the evening.

No supply the rest of the 16 hours of the day. https://t.co/LuiCbYHBqR

🔹 European exodus from Energy Charter Treaty raises climate questions

France, Germany and Spain plan to leave the controversial investment pact, putting a whole system of dirty energy protections into play 🔽

Vulnerability and volatility. With the current energy crisis, we suddenly realized the vulnerability and the price volatility of our energy system. There is no climate mitigation without transforming our energy system. @Teresaribera @g_escribano @lazarotouza @rielcano #cecme22

Finance ministers of the V20 group of vulnerable nations, a coalition of 48 developing countries, have agreed to design and test a funding facility to address climate change loss & damage

@JavierBlas ⛔ For every new coal-fired power plant, coal use and related emissions are locked in for its lifetime (on average ➡️46 years, extended up to 60+)

Phase-down, good start. Phase-out, next goal!

🇩🇰’s climate minister Dan Jørgensen and 🇨🇷’s minister of environment and energy Andrea Meza Murillo have pointed out the elephant in the room in climate negotiations: meeting the Paris Agreement goals requires a managed decline of oil and gas production

[UN Climate Change @UNFCCC]

„We stand at a pivotal point in history.

We either choose to achieve rapid and large-scale reductions of emissions to keep the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C - or we accept that humanity faces a bleak future on this planet.“

@PEspinosaC at the opening of #COP26.

[Dan Jørgensen @DanJoergensen]

🇨🇷 and 🇩🇰 have decided to put an end date to our production of oil and gas 🚫🛢️

Now we invite the 🌍 to join the #BeyondOilAndGasAlliance #BOGA🌱

On Nov 10 at #COP26 we will announce which countries are on board

The new IPCC report could not be clearer. Global temperatures are rising dangerously close to the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement.

@ACCIONA, #CAF, and @InnoEnergyEU join @Zeleros! Happy and proud of this amazing team!

With about 25% of global #emissions, the #transport sector needs to move away from fossil fuels. The future of #mobility is #electric!

[Horizon Magazine @HorizonMagEU]

Hyperloop trips could reduce the carbon emissions of travel by replacing short-haul flights

[EU Transport @Transport_EU]

"Fascinating exchange of views w/ @zeleros. Great to hear 🇪🇺created an enabling environment for #hyperloop technologies. Now we need to accelerate the work on the EU regulatory framework & safety related aspects. Innovation is key for future success. #MobilityStrategy"-DG Hololei

[Luigi Carafa @luigi_carafa]

Congrats @bertrandpiccard @solarimpulse ! Impressive milestone: 1000 efficient solutions, good for people and the planet! Happy to have witnessed the launch in Marrakech.

We at @zeleros are so proud to be part of this community! #Beyond1000solutions

[Bertrand PICCARD @bertrandpiccard]

What an emotion. We made it: #1000solutions! 😁

With @solarimpulse, we have now identified and labeled 1000 efficient solutions to support governments and businesses to protect the #environment in a profitable way.

La empresa española @zeleros está desarrollando un vehículo #Hyperloop puntero con el apoyo del @CDTIoficial, @CIEMAT_OPI y varios inversores privados.

Esta nueva tecnología podría contribuir a los esfuerzos estratégicos hacia la transición ecológica y el transporte sostenible.

[Luigi Carafa @luigi_carafa]

At @Zeleros, we are happy to collaborate
with @Airbus E-Aircraft Systems on the development of our vehicle propulsion system:

☘️ A zero-emission,
➡️ energy-efficient,
✨ all-electric system.
