Groundswell at Global Optimism. Formerly @UNFCCC & @EU_Commission

[Tom Rivett-Carnac @tomcarnac]

The result @COP28_UAE is not perfect but no one who understands the nature of COPs will be surprised by that. The reference that we need to transition away from fossil fuels -sets a clear direction. The pace is up to all of us.

We need to choose the story we want for our future and already the transition is happening at an exponential pace. We now need to accelerate even further, because #LaterIsTooLate

Draft text from #COP28 dropped this morning at 5am. Here's a look at where we stand on the push for this set of UN climate talks to deliver global agreement to phaseout fossil fuels and scale up renewables and efficiency:

Hello #COP28! Nice to meme you.

“In years to come, historians will be bewildered (…):

Flush with evidence, drowning in solutions (…) they will ask: why did global leaders in 2023 not move faster, further, sooner to tackle the climate crisis? (@CFigueres)

Every day, our planet sends distress signals with wildfires, droughts & heatwaves. As nature's whispers become shouts, let us listen. Proud to join 50 global leaders in the 'Clarion Call for Courageous Leadership' to the G20. For our children, our future, let's rise with brave, collaborative action. COP28 must be the moment. 🌱
Together, let's not just weather the storm, but redirect its course.

“Every tenth of a degree of warming we prevent is crucial.

Doomism may feel alluring or even inevitable. But it is ultimately a luxury that only a few can afford.”

Exponential change can happen!📈

What was true for many revolutionary shifts in the world, is also true for #ClimateAction today.

📽️Watch @SimonStiell’s @TEDTalks to learn how we can all play a role in driving that change.

.@WorldBank has released an updated version of its 'Evolution Roadmap' for consultation ahead of next week's #WBGMeetings

It includes a frank admission that reforms emerging from discussions between WBG management & shareholders won't result in more concessional financing🧐

The scale of #misinformation under this post - and the fact that trolls & climate denialists now come with blue check marks - is quite something.

Our 🌎 has already warmed by about 1.2°C.

On today's #WorldMetDay, let's remember that every bit of additional global warming worsens climate impacts.

The actions we take this decade will influence life on Earth for thousands of years.

UN #climate boss @simonstiell clear he doesn't want the #COP28 "Global Stocktake" to be s shiny report with some form of "roadmap" guff stuck on the front... talks in @Time of revisiting targets for 2030, end to greenwashing, $$ on table by G20 https://t.co/4z36WEWD65

The irony… #misinformation

✔️ Chart a clear path to 2030
✔️ Align finance flows with climate goals

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Hundreds of @UNFCCC colleagues & #COP27 volunteers have dedicated their time & energy to help ensure the conference is a success.

I’m profoundly grateful for their impressive contributions.

Now world & business leaders need to match that level of commitment to #ClimateAction.
