.Leo Nascimento @[email protected] et al. (incl. Catrina Godinho, Takeshi Kuramochi, Mia Moisio, Michel den Elzen, Prof Niklas Höhne - only on blsky mastodon threads) write on climate policy.

TL;DR: a tug of war continues in climate policy, with positive developments often balanced by negative developments.

ANALYSIS: what impact will the #COP28 announcements make on closing the emissions gap?
Few of them will do so meaningfully.
Many either lack the ambition, clarity, coverage or accountability needed to make a difference /🧵

📚 New publication in Nature on consensus in mitigation scenarios! With the many discussions on the role of fossils during the climate conference #COP28 , you may wonder what the science of climate change mitigation can tell us. Below, a thread. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Een goed signaal voor alle landen om volgend jaar hun klimaatplannen verder aan te scherpen, en met duidelijke plannen te komen om het klimaatdoel van Parijs te halen. nos.nl/l/2501405

Climate impacts are intensifying worldwide, yet emissions continue to rise.

UNEP's 2023 #EmissionsGap Report outlines the urgent steps needed to meet the Paris Agreement goals: unep.org/resources/emis…

Published today:
The Broken Record of countries' climate pledges not delivering on the emissions reductions we need.

We find that 13 countries are on track to meet their NDC targets. This is 2 more compared to our 2022 update. Some were already on track last year: China 🇨🇳, Egypt 🇪🇬, Ethiopia 🇪🇹, India 🇮🇳, Iran 🇮🇷, Mexico 🇲🇽, Morocco 🇲🇦, Russia 🇷🇺, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Türkiye 🇹🇷 and Viet Nam 🇻🇳

It is time take stock of progress since last year to inform #COP28 : we assessed 25 major emitting countries’ progress towards their climate targets. 🧵⤵️

Our annual update on the 25 major emitters' emission projections w/ PBL English IIASA is out! Complementary to ClimateActionTracker and UN Environment Programme Emissions Gap report, providing land use-specific emission estimates and cross-country comparisons on key decarb indicators.

In 2021, the European Climate Law created the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change EU Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change and tasked it to inform the EU’s #2040ClimateTarget and 2030-2050 greenhouse gas (GHG) budget.

Today, EU Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change published its advice.
Here’s the short version 🧵1/n

In a paper for Science Magazine, Prof Joeri Rogelj and his co-authors discuss countries’ net zero pledges and their realistic implementation without non-binding measures in place

New paper alert: 🚨🌍🌡️🔥
What do climate pledges mean for global warming?
Simple question, confusing answers.
In a new study in Science Magazine we shine a new light on this question. (1/n)

Whether we’re nearly on track to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate goals (well below 2°C, or 1.5°C), versus nowhere near them, depends what you believe about net-zero targets. 1/ science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…
