“Fossil fuels are not delivering energy security—they are undermining it” IISD’s @paoyanguas.bsky.social explains gov'ts have an opportunity to accelerate the shift to renewables, in this SwissInfo piece on roadmaps to phase out fossil fuels. @luigijorio.bsky.social www.swissinfo.ch/eng/climate-...

"Fossil fuels are not delivering energy security — they are undermining it", says Paola Yanguas Parra, a policy advisor at the International Institute for Sustainable Development. @iisd.org @paoyanguas.bsky.social

Just out of the oven, this database shows an up-to-date overview of all active (and repealed) restrictions to fossil fuel extraction around the world. Take a look, share, and give us feedback if we missed any measure 👇

The building blocks for a transition away from fossil fuels are already in place.🏗️ Just energy transition partnerships, methane abatement, & first mover coalitions all offer lessons for policy-makers on designing & implanting effective plans. New Report: www.iisd.org/publications...

This report reflecting on TAFF roadmaps is just out of the oven. Take a look 👇

Climate policy is often framed as incentives or bans. But evidence from Switzerland’s heating sector points to a smarter middle path: quasi-bans. New piece from @paoyanguas.bsky.social & @jmarkard.bsky.social sets out what can be gained from this approach👇 www.sussex.ac.uk/research/pro...

40 fossil fuel-producing countries have now submitted new national climate plans. 🛢️ 31 mention fossil fuel production—largely focused on reducing emissions 👷‍♀️ 13 refer to concrete #JustTransition measures ⚠️ Some plan to increase fossil fuel production Learn more: www.iisd.org/articles/ins...

In other news, @paoyanguas.bsky.social Ruth Baba and I updated our assessment of how fossil fuel production is considered in countries' third-generation national climate plans: www.iisd.org/articles/ins...

Take a look at this recent article, where @jmarkard.bsky.social and I reflect on quasi-bans and their potential for overcoming political deadlocks on banning carbon-intensive technologies👇 www.linkedin.com/pulse/beyond... Your comments and ideas about bans and quasi-bans are welcome 🤓

#BREAKING—The #ProductionGap report finds gov'ts plan to produce more than 2x the amount of fossil fuels by 2030 than consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C. As gov'ts submit new national climate plans, they must transition away from fossil fuels. ➡️ www.iisd.org/publications...

🤔 Did you know Switzerland has already implemented fossil heaters installation bans? 😱 We reviewed their implementation since 2017 and found that 1️⃣they work👌 2️⃣funding & incentives make them more effective 💰 3️⃣ quasi-bans have a similar effect and avoid political backlashes🤓 More on this 👇

So excited to see our article being published open source!🤓 This literature review distilled hundreds of academic articles on coal transitions to find out what policies where used, which worked the best, and what strategies for policy coordination and implementation were the best ones 👇

New report by Earth Insight, @energy.iisd.org, and #OPIAC calls on the Colombian gov’t to shelve unassigned oil blocks to safeguard its IPLCs, contribute to global climate safety, & consolidate Colombia’s environmental leadership. Read more: earth-insight.org/report/colom...

Expanding oil & gas in the Colombian Amazon is... ⚠️High risk—threatening 70% of Indigenous Peoples & local communities & nearly 43% of unprotected key biodiversity areas in the region ⚠️Low reward—97% of new blocks may be unprofitable in a 1.5C scenario. earth-insight.org/report/colom...

This week at the #GlobalNDCConference —how can gov'ts incorporate the energy transition in new NDCs? IISD’s @paoyanguas.bsky.social ‪& @nataliejones.bsky.social‬ joined @undp.org & @iea.org, partners yesterday to discuss strategies, challenges and opportunities. Our takeaways:🧵1/6

16 fossil fuel producing countries have submitted 🆕 national climate plans (#NDCs). Here is what we found: 🔟mention fossil fuel production—largely with a focus on reducing production emissions 3️⃣NDCs have fossil fuel subsidy reform commitments 📗@nataliejones.bsky.social www.iisd.org/articles/ins...

Interesting-looking paper on how getting the „just“ in #justtransition right may be crucial for the speed of the transition

The fossil fuel sector has underperformed the S&P 500 in seven of the last 10 years. Why is Trump determined to back these losers? ieefa.org/articles/ano....

In this recently published perspective article, we reflect on how to turn the table around, so that #JustTransitions don't come at the expense of climate targets, which need acceleration of action. Take a look👇 doi.org/10.1088/2753...

📢 President Biden has announced a 🇺🇸 target to cut emissions 61-66% from 2005 levels by 2035. A coalition of states, cities and businesses representing half of US emissions is committing to work towards it regardless of the next federal government’s priorities. 🧵 [1/6]
