Senior Climate Scientist @fahadiii.bsky.social features in this @granthamicl.bsky.social documentary speaking on the @wwattribution.bsky.social study of the catastrophic 2022 floods in Pakistan. "The study played an important role in shaping the global negotiation around loss and damage,” he said.

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #China's 2035 NDC is unlikely to drive emissions down, but should be understood as a floor not a ceiling. We project 2025 could mark a year of peak CO2 emissions if current momentum continues. Its overall rating remains "Highly insufficient" bit.ly/CAT_CHN

A must-read for anyone at #COP30 and beyond thinking about how to rescue 1.5°C and limit #overshoot!

New research out today demonstrates that reaching #realzero is achievable and economically competitive in many major emitting sectors. EU road freight could reach real zero by 2040, while global steel and shipping could reach real zero by 2050. climateanalytics.org/publications...

1.5°C still achievable – if the world pursues ‘highest possible ambition’. #ParisAgreement #ClimateAction @climateanalytics.org www.csofutures.com/news/1-5degc...

👉 Looking forward to engage in discussions about rescuing the 1.5°C in the upcoming #COP30. Despite the -collective- political failure to address the issue, the 1.5°C window is still open, but we need to double down on action ✊ aka Highest Possible Ambition! Enjoy it and feel free to reach out!

Does this mean we should give up on 1.5ºC? No – 1.5ºC endures as a legal and ethical imperative as we approach, meet and potentially exceed 1.5ºC. See @joerirogelj.bsky.social's great piece on this: bsky.app/profile/joer...

🚨🚨🚨 NEW REPORT ALERT 🚨🚨🚨 @climateanalytics.org has a new report out today that I’m really excited about. It’s all about 1.5ºC... ▶️ Is overshooting 1.5ºC inevitable? ▶️ Can we still get temperatures back below 1.5ºC? ▶️ If so, how? If you’re interested in our findings, buckle up for a mega thread...

A new @climateanalytics.org report has come out today, with a profoundly hopeful message: even though the world is on track to exceed 1.5°C of global warming, we can peak at 1.7°C and get temperatures back down well below 1.5°C by end of century. But.... only if we phase out fossil fuels, fast. 🧵

After years of political failure, the world can still rescue 1.5°C – if countries pursue the “highest possible ambition”, starting now. New report from Climate Analytics and @pik-potsdam.bsky.social shows how it’s possible. Read more: climateanalytics.org/publications...

The @unep.org’s #EmissionsGap Report says global temperatures now predicted to reach 2.3-2.5°C, down from 2.6-2.8°C last year. While this is progress, we must go faster. Our CEO @billhare.bsky.social told AP that the numbers indicate “a lack of political will”. apnews.com/article/clim...

Ten years on, the Paris Agreement is working—just not fast enough. Our new report tracks 22 ways it’s changing the world: uniting countries behind 1.5°C and net zero, and cutting projected 2100 warming by ~1°C (≈3.6°C → ≈2.7°C). climateanalytics.org/publications...

“Keeping warming to 1.5°C now hinges on one thing: speed,” says our CEO @billhare.bsky.social. “The science is unequivocal: the world isn’t moving fast enough. Every year of delay makes the task harder, and only rapid, sustained cuts can keep 1.5°C within reach.” #StateOfClimateAction

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: Despite a weak target, #VietNam builds momentum for deeper renewable energy integration & coal phase-out. Ambitious new targets & polices for solar & offshore wind signal stronger long-term alignment w the clean energy transition Still "Critically insufficient" bit.ly/CAT_VietNam

Climate policy analyst @thomashle.bsky.social told #TheStraitsTimes that Indonesia is lagging when it comes to building out renewables. “Its latest power grid plan delayed a lot of the renewable deployment until after 2030 and includes near-term increases in fossil-fuel generation,” he said.

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: "much done, much more to do" is our summary of the new UK government's first year on #climate policy, achieving moderate success in addressing the implementation gap. Overall rating remains "Insufficient" bit.ly/CAT_UK

We’re thrilled to launch the Global Methane Explorer – a comprehensive dashboard for methane emissions, targets and policies. You can use it monitor progress, identify gaps, and support urgent, evidence-based action to accelerate methane mitigation worldwide. methane-explorer.climateanalytics.org

Faster action on #methane this decade, alongside deep cuts in CO2, is essential for limiting near term warming. Our new report assesses emissions, targets, and policies for 72 countries that account for over 90% of global methane emissions.

What will it take to finally get climate #adaptation into the political mainstream? Catch @manjeetdhakal.bsky.social, Head of our LDC Support Team speak on how #COP30 can deliver real progress at @climatechangenews.com webinar tomorrow, Oct 30, 2:00 PM CEST.

Important thread from @billhare.bsky.social on António Guterres' statements on climate yesterday. ⬇️

📣 Today we have updated our summary of net zero targets across 40+ of the world's largest emitters. What do we see? 🛑 Ten years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the design of most net zero targets remains inadequate. 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/global/cat-n...

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #Egypt is slowly emerging from its economic crisis, where climate action saw limited progress. The govt has a renewable energy target of 42% by 2030, but deployment has largely stalled. Instead, it has opted for massive fossil gas expansion ➡️ "Highly Insufficient" bit.ly/CAT_EGY

What are the five things we need to do to rescue the goals of the Paris Agreement? @billhare.bsky.social explains.

"Australia has the know-how and the opportunity to help lead the global energy transition to a clean energy future... But first we need to take our foot off the gas." @billhare.bsky.social in today's Guardian #auspol

New research shows that near-term mitigation could spare future generations around 0.6 meters of sea-level rise caused by emissions between 2020 and 2090, making today’s decisions critical not only for limiting warming but also for coastal impacts. 🔗 iiasa.ac.at/news/oct-202...

The world’s largest fossil fuel and cement companies should shoulder a major share of the investment needed to develop carbon removal technologies, according to a new peer-reviewed study in @climate-policy.bsky.social. #carbonmajors #CDR #climatepolicy

Labelling heavy industry like steel as “hard-to-abate” allows them to argue against reducing emissions now, or to justify using CCS or offsets to meet climate goals. But existing tech and demand reduction can cut emissions in these sectors, writes @billhare.bsky.social on @climatechangenews.com

🌡️The world remains off course to limit warming to 1.5°C. The new #StateOfClimateAction 2025 offers a guide for countries to follow through on their new NDCs, the Global Stocktake and announcements made ahead of COP30. Read the report now: bit.ly/4o6hPwm

📢 The new #StateOfClimateAction 2025 report finds that keeping the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal within reach demands massive acceleration in climate action across every sector by 2030. Read the full report: climateanalytics.org/publications...

Angola has scaled back emissions reduction targets. While the big emitters need to do more, smaller emitters also need to "put forward the highest possible ambition,” our CEO @billhare.bsky.social said, adding that development aid cuts are affecting countries in need of climate finance.

A decade since 190+ countries adopted the #ParisAgreement, it’s time to see where we stand 🌍 📋 Join #SystemChangeLab on Oct 28 for the launch of the State of Climate Action 2025, a roadmap for closing the global gap in climate action. Register: bit.ly/3J7LnKH

“The IEA has, consistently over the last couple of decades, way underestimated how fast renewables are growing,” our senior climate and energy adviser Dr Robert Brecha told @grist.org, “I don’t see any reason to believe that renewables won’t double by 2030.”

The blueprint for clean air already exists — in London’s reforms and Beijing’s resolve. Pakistan, too, can reclaim its blue skies by modernising its industries, curbing transport emissions, and ending crop burning, writes @fahadiii.bsky.social.

🇵🇦 Panama has submitted its NDC 3.0. Panama commits to an 11% reduction in #GHG emissions by 2035 compared to the BAU scenario — excluding LULUCF — and up to 17% with international support.

"Asia is at a crossroads: while these countries haven't yet gone down a high carbon capture and storage (CCS) route, many have tailored their CCS policies to protect their fossil fuel industry, especially in Japan, South Korea and Australia," @billhare.bsky.social told The Times of India.

2035 NDC ANALYSIS: Chile's new 2035 climate target is not 1.5˚C aligned according to its fair share. The gap between its target and 1.5˚C compatible pathways has grown. Positive elements: 🟢 commitment to peak emissions by 2025 🟢 2040 coal phase-out 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/countries/ch...

Our Pacific Senior Adaptation Expert Patrick Pringle is holding workshops in Samoa with SPREP to explore how climate-induced loss and damage is experienced at a community level. "We heard just how intertwined economic and non-economic loss and damage often is," he said. www.sprep.org/news/through...

REPORT: If Asian economies were to carry out their plans to deploy risky and expensive carbon capture & storage (CCS) to address fossil fuel emissions, they could add an extra 25 billion tonnes of emissions to the atmosphere by 2050. Their economies would suffer. climateanalytics.org/publications...

2035 NDC ANALYSIS: while #Norway's new, 2035 #climate target is nominally 1.5˚C compatible compared with its modelled domestic pathway, the #NDC contains several key issues which raise serious concerns about the true ambition of its commitment to reducing domestic emissions. 🔗 bit.ly/CAT_NOR_2035...

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: CAT rates #Russia’s climate action as “Critically insufficient”. Since last assessment: ➡️ Climate Doctrine revised to ignore fossil fuels ➡️ 2035 target achievable with no new effort ➡️ Fossil fuel expansion + crackdown on environmental orgs Read full update 🔗 bit.ly/CAT_RUS

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #India has reached a turning point in its power sector, making significant progress in renewables installation (4th in world in 2024 cumulative capacity): for the first time, non-fossil sources supplied the majority of new electricity generation in 2024–25 #climate bit.ly/CAT_IND

China’s new 2035 climate target is "unfortunately very disappointing: This target will not drive down emissions – it is below what China is likely to achieve already under its current climate policies,” our CEO @billhare.bsky.social told @aljazeera.com
