Mark Carney said “decarbonised Canadian oil and gas” must get to global markets, including Asia and Europe, after the emissions associated with its extraction were captured in Alberta." Could we also have 'dry water', please? And some 'cool heat'? on.ft.com/45cga1H

In case anyone is wondering, “decarbonized oil and gas” does not exist, is a complete contradiction in terms, and a dangerous lie that Canadian government after Canadian government has tried to spin under the spell of industry lobbying. How disappointing. www.ft.com/content/17ce...

What is the #JustTransition Work Programme—why does it matter? 👉 💚 Enshrine aim to align climate action with equity in global frameworks 💚 Be a global platform to design fair pathways 💚 Reflect priorities of vulnerable countries 💚 Emphasize cross-sectoral, inclusive, locally grounded approaches

@anabellarosemberg.bsky.social : “A solid agreement” on just transition is “within reach”. “The COP30 Presidency is sending the right signal,” “Time for governments to seize the opportunity.” via @climatechangenews.com @joeloclimate.bsky.social www.climatechangenews.com/2025/05/23/b...

Climate Strategies is gearing up for the 2nd edition of The Policy Dialogue for Just Energy Transitions in #Salzberg later this summer. This year, policymakers will explore how modelling can inform transition planning in fossil fuel producer and consumer countries ➡️https://shorturl.at/Es7qn"

Code Yellow alert | Widespread MODERATE ozone 4-5/10 #AirPollution episode underway across much of the UK. Expected to come and go for five days or longer. Ozone is the most-irritant gas for humans. Episode is caused by long days of sunshine on still, easterly air uk-air.defra.gov.uk

“The number of countries that explicitly include just transition concepts in their climate plans (known as "Nationally Determined Contributions," or "NDCs") has increased from just one (South Africa) in 2015 to 66 (as of April 2025). lnkd.in/e8DPgwWs

Looks like an inversion, where cold, still and (in this case) dirty air gets stuck at the bottom of the atmosphere. I took this the other day from the top of Gipsy Hill, phone camera didn't quite capture the colours right, it was like the sheen of spilled diesel oil on the surface of a puddle.

Still cold air. #WoodBurning, traffic and other emissions hanging around for days. We’re stewing in our own juice

Car exhausts and tyre debris, central heating, wood burning. Yesterday's sunshine reacting with car exhausts. Very low wind and other weather factors trap the pollution at ground level. Just as bad today. @mumsforlungs.bsky.social can advise.

Why is #airpollution in London so bad today? 😷 Lack of wind? Is there something else at play?? @cleanairlondon.bsky.social @airquality.bsky.social @mumsforlungs.bsky.social @andrewgrieve.bsky.social

Our recent @natureportfolio.bsky.social paper with TKazlou & @acherp.bsky.social argues there is little hope #CCS can grow fast enough for 1.5°C target. The 2°C target is realistic if CCS failure drops fast and CCS expands as fast as mainstream energy technologies. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Two of Europe's worst greenwashing oil and gas companies - shell and Equinor - are amputating their UK facilities and combining them into an entirely new fossil fuel company. EquiShell gives both companies way more power and makes profiting from harm significantly easier

Good morning. Carbon markets don’t work. Just 16% of carbon credits correspond to actual emissions reductions, per new research COP29 formalised a Wild West market that might make some consultancies rich but which is going to doom our planet www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🔥 updated (final?) draft #COP29 outcomes now shared with delegations... here is updated version of draft decision on #ClimateFinance #NCQG compared to that rejected today by most vulnerable countries' delegates 📄 doc: unfccc.int/documents/64... 🔍 track changes: drive.google.com/file/d/1a7lu...

New text for #NCQG is $300 Billion… will this lead to a walk out by developing countries…? #COP29

#COP29 Delegates now gathered in plenary, but without an official text. This appears high-risk strategy by presidency, as it’s not clear there is consensus on potential deal here, says @fionaharvey.bsky.social Livestream here: shorturl.at/P6JYn Liveblog here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Cop29: wealthy countries agree to raise climate finance offer to $300bn a year

The new #COP29 finance draft text is out and here’s the key part

3/3. This morning at #COP29, @350org.bsky.social held a press conference to talk about the state of play on negotiations at #COP29 including on the New Collective Quantified Goal on #ClimateFinance (#NCQG). 🔗Watch it again here: unfccc-events.azureedge.net/COP29_101576...

We may leave #COP29 without any agreement on the just transition work programme, according to ECO. Not because parties aren't prepared to work on it, but because the presidency is unwilling to open text negotiations

At #COP29, the six hours long "single-setting" meeting has ended. The Presidency will hold bilateral consultations with groups to refine the texts, and appointed ministerial pairs will be asked to “unlock specific questions.” Revised Presidency texts are announced for “late Friday.”

Row breaks out at #COP29 as leading countries said draft deal risked going back on historic agreement to reduce use of fossil fuels. "Standing still is retreat and the world will rightly judge us very harshly if this is the outcome," said Ed Miliband: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thank you @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org for detailed coverage of fractions discussions at the #COP29 plenary. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 With just one day of official negotiations to go, it sounds like there’s very disappointing progress on mitigation, finance and the GST

Shouts of ‘go back, sit down, fight for just transition’ by activists at #COP29 after negotiators failed to find agreement on the just transition work programme last week Speakers said talks felt like ‘deja vu’ as the same sticking points from Bonn continue to come up

#justtransition has been talked at COP for some time but attention is now growing - a whole line of work on this is opening (the JT work programme). A thread capturing some points from the #COP29 ministerial on Just Transition.

Read about energy transitions in #Azerbaijan during #COP29 👉🏽 climatestrategies.org/publication/... Fossil fuels remain the backbone of the Azerbaijani economy. Planned renewable energy will supplement fossil fuel production rather than replace it, with natural gas production & exports still growing

At last! A whopping 391 pages, with 11 pages on fossil fuel subsidies. I'll be studying this in the coming days.
