The Paris Agreement faces a dual effectiveness challenge: countries’ NDCs are not ambitious enough and climate policies are too weak.

w/ COP28 & the Global Stocktake approaching, how should non-state actors mobilize to advance climate action?🧵

Dette her bør vel gjøre mye ganske enkelt: Det går ikke at Solberg stiller som statsministerkandidat. På sikt skader dette tilliten til de som styrer. Vi har ikke råd til normer om at slikt tolereres, hverken internt i partiene eller i regjering. https://t.co/KY9TTPaEgM

By outlining these strategies, we hope to raise awareness that non-state actors should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, they should tailor their efforts to address the specific strengths and weaknesses of countries’ climate targets and implementation efforts.
