The new UNEP report is out with the latest estimates of 2100 warming outcomes under current policies, NDCs, and net-zero targets. Here is how it compares to both the IPCC scenarios and other estimates (CAT and IEA, who will release their own updates soon!).

1️⃣After tough negotiations, EU environment ministers agreed on their position to amend the EU Climate Law — including a 2040 intermediate target toward climate neutrality by 2050. A hard-fought compromise, and the details show it. 🧵 data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document...

The dominant narrative is that the world is rolling back climate policy. But what does the data say? The latest Oxford Climate Policy Monitor Annual Review from the Oxford Climate Policy Hub tells three key stories. bsg.ox.ac.uk/news/climate...

The Climate Obstruction in the IPCC and UNFCCC working group has published a briefing which can be found on our website here: cssn.org/cssn-primer-.... The brief introduces a typology of 14 obstruction tactics which we will watch for as the negotiations proceed through COP30.

This is interesting. The EU’s #CBAM has become a key point of contention in #UNFCCC talks (see bsky.app/profile/mjfe...). Brazil is now essentially proposing a bad bank to offload this discussion, so that it won’t hamper #COP30. Novel use of ye olde yet-another-forum.

To be consistent w/ limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, governments collectively need to produce less than half of the fossil fuels they are planning for 2030 (5 years from now) and then double down to halve production again by 2050, @unep.org, @sei.org, @climateanalytics.org & @iisd.org show 👇

Just out! 🚨 Together with my excellent co-author @Hyeyoon Park, I published a new article on how global green finance governance institutions frame climate risks (1/3)

📢 #SO & #GHGprotocol have announced a landmark partnership to align greenhouse gas standards and jointly develop a new product lifecycle assessment standard. This sets the stage for harmonized reporting and faster climate action. Learn more: bit.ly/4nlbtIs

🌍 Carbon storage is not a limitless climate solution. A new IIASA-led study in @nature.com shows that safe, practical underground carbon storage could reduce warming by only 0.7°C – almost 10 times less than earlier estimates of 6°C. Read more 🔗 iiasa.ac.at/news/sep-202... @gidden.bsky.social

Our paper is out today in @nature.com where we assess a Prudent Planetary Limit for Geologic Carbon Storage: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Released today📢 A new study in @nature.com finds that the global capacity for geological carbon storage is much lower than current estimates, highlighting the importance of responsible management to use this tool wisely and protect future generations: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09423-y

🎯 As the EU shapes its 2040 climate target, international credits return to the spotlight. @felixschenuit.bsky.social‬ warns: credit quality, permanence and scalability must be ensured – especially for carbon removal. 🔗 buff.ly/QLMG8AK #EUClimatePolicy #CDR #Article6

The legislative proposal for the 2040 target has landed: ▶️ 90% reduction of net GHG compared to 1990 (no separate target for removals!) ▶️ flexibilities as central element, incl. international credits & domestic CDR ▶️NDC will include an *indicative* 2035 figure climate.ec.europa.eu/document/dow...

At the #SB62 #Juneclimatemeetings, “unilateral trade measures” – code for the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ( #CBAM ) – have become a major point of contention. (1/3)

‘Rethinking EU climate and sustainability governance in an age of disruption’ is the theme of the final conference of @greendealnet.eu in Brussels today. Look at this exciting programme! #Climate #governance #EU #polisci

#SB62 just adopted the agenda after two days of deliberation. Disagreement over the inclusion of items on #climatefinance and trade measures. Pushback following the EU’s lacklustre communication around #CBAM has seeped into #UNFCCC negotiations. #Juneclimatemeetings
