Hello #COP28 negotiators & observers, we’re on the cusp of a historic outcome in Dubai.

BUT only if we see the potential oasis from the Dubai desert.

So here are my thoughts & possible ways to resolve the stalemate

[Sam Geall @samgeall]

@rishpardikar @chinadialogue Sadly not! But I drew on this article https://t.co/o7HzdihCep and this report https://t.co/Mm2Ikg99MO This online discussion last year covered similar ground https://t.co/ejVFbXKv36

"Drawing on China’s experience in achieving universal energy access, and solar energy for poverty reduction in particular – we should not only consider large scale opportunities, but also triangular cooperation and distributed solar," @samgeall continued.

@KarlMathiesen @StuartKLau tentatively! it’s ambiguous in both languages honestly

[Sam Geall @samgeall]

@KarlMathiesen @StuartKLau it’s difficult language to parse, isn’t it. but we read it as the peak and emission reductions that follow are this decade

[Sam Geall @samgeall]

@KarlMathiesen @StuartKLau Also the CH version *does* mention coal (same as EN) and not kerosene

[Sam Geall @samgeall]

@KarlMathiesen @StuartKLau We looked into it and discrepancy is less significant than implied. Both CH & EN versions render this all in one sentence and time markers always go at the start of CH sentences. Translation maybe makes it a little ambiguous but not such an obvious divergence tbh
