The next few weeks mark a critical time for the @OECD, a club of the world's wealthiest countries, to deliver on its climate commitments and align int'l public finance with the #ParisAgreement goals.

➡️ All eyes on @USTreasury & @POTUS to make this happen!

🚨It's time for the US 🇺🇸 & Korea 🇰🇷 to stop stalling an agreement to end taxpayer support for international fossil fuel projects at the @oecd ahead of crucial talks in November! #StopFundingFossils @jendlouhyhc @business

The Biden admin can help the world meet its climate targets, even under Trump, by supporting an end to fossil fuel financing at @OECD. Taxpayer dollars don’t need to go the way of the dinosaur and prop up fossils. It's time for a clean energy revolution. https://t.co/94FztrUV9p

#COP29 and #G20 shouldn't soak up all the political attention right now. Today, critical talks start in Paris on an #OECD deal to end export credit $$ for oil and gas.

The US has been the most vocal opponent for a year, but word is that it could be considering a deal - huge news

[Laurence Tubiana @LaurenceTubiana]

I know some are frustrated with the COP and UNFCCC processes, given the urgent need to accelerate action.

While reforms are needed, let’s not forget: multilateralism is the foundation of climate progress.

The Paris Agreement happened because every country had a voice. (1/5)

BREAKING @jendlouhyhc/@business : Biden Admin weighs last-minute push to secure @OECD deal restricting foreign oil & gas project $$. Unlike exec actions, this intl agreement would be Trump-proof. Key talks start Monday in Paris. 🧵1/4 Read: https://t.co/mtdHH6byKm

A critical fight for implementing the #COP28 "transition away from fossil fuels" deal is shaping up at #COP29 - in the "UAE Dialogue" room 🧵

🚨 Time's running out for @POTUS to end US funding of overseas fossil fuels. With $41B/year at stake, upcoming @OECD meeting is his last chance to secure a climate legacy before Trump takes office. Read: https://t.co/bPGFOxN8xo

How Swiss export credits for fossil fuel projects undermine international climate action and Switzerland’s credibility ahead of COP29: read my oped in today’s @TagesAnzeiger, Zurich’s main daily newspaper (in German only).

Renewables, not fossil fuels, are the best bet for Africa’s development, IISD’s Bathandwa Vazi writes to the @FT.

Some African countries are seeking $5bn for an “energy bank” to back 🛢️. Scaling up financing in wind & solar should be the priority.

[PeterBosshard @PeterBosshard]

Violating its climate commitments, Switzerland is supporting overseas gas projects with climate costs of >$63 bn. Now the country also blocks negotiations for a ban of such support in the OECD. Read my comment on the topic on my #SwissClimateRambles blog. https://t.co/svuIPnMNhX

NEW: Global civil society calls on OECD countries to support proposals to end fossil fuel finance at critical OECD negotiations in November: No more empty promises. #FossilFreeOECD https://t.co/0QnvHyLrWF

It is official.

The Mediterranean sea surface temperature has just set a new heat record. The average sea surface temperature just hit a staggering +28.15°C.

18 out of the top 20 hottest days for the Mediterranean sea surface have been observed in the last 13 months alone.

[Nina Pušić 🍉 @NinaPusic]

This week is a critical one for the future of #ClimateFinance at the @OECD. The US has the opportunity to finally follow through on its promises from COP & G7 to end int'l export finance for #FossilFuels. Will it deliver?

BREAKING⚡Only 1% of the G7’s clean energy finance went to low-income countries - and mostly as loans, worsening the debt crisis.

@G7 countries must prioritize support for clean, affordable energy where it’s most needed on fair terms. Here’s how 📑 https://t.co/ujhMLMVNtr
