Deutschland trägt seinen Teil zum Klimaschutz bei, sagt Staatssekretärin Jennifer Morgan bei der #COP26 . Im Klimaschutz-Index von Germanwatch steht Deutschland allerdings nur auf Platz 16. Die Energiewende laufe zwar, nicht jedoch die Verkehrswende und der Klimaschutz im Gebäudesektor.

El primer desacuerdo en la #COP26
sobre el nuevo objetivo global de financiación consigue eliminar los avances realizados durante los últimos tres años y reinicia casi de cero las negociaciones sobre la financiación climática.

So one way to mitigate the Trump drilling frenzy is for other countries to cut then cease imports of US fossil fuels.

"The US position in energy today looks unassailable. At home, we keep expanding the share of wind, solar, and batteries in the power system—which at the margin frees up more coal, and more natural gas for export."

Warning alarms The system going sideways, this is a global climate weather anomaly, a "this doesn't happen"

We must force the end of carbon fuels by building all the needed solar and wind, right now.

#Climate #klima #climat #cop26

Great piece - Often see #Israel-based groups present at #climate & #environment conferences, promoting this "greenwashing."

Now, my question is - why does the same not apply for #China, who is also #greenwashing its occupation of #Tibet & #EastTurkistan (#Xinjiang), including using #forcedlabor in #solar & #EV #cleantech supply chains?

Some of the same groups calling out Israel @#COP26 for #Gaza are the same ones ignoring China's #humanrights crimes.

And of course, lines of conflict not only became visible about phasing out fossil fuels, but also about historical responsibility, climate finance, and a just and equitable transition. But here too, lines of conflict & possible alliances become clearer with each COP.

At #COP28, we witnessed 127+ countries support the phase out of ALL fossil fuels. At #COP27, they were only 80. A year earlier @ #COP26, debates were only on coal and fossil subsidies phase out/down.

"Failure to agree #FossilFuel phase-out at #Cop28 ‘will push world into #climate breakdown’

#UK former climate chief Alok #Sharma says phase-out crucial to limit #GlobalWarming to 1.5C

Failure to agree a phase-out of #FossilFuels at the #UN Cop28 climate #summit would push the #world beyond the crucial 1.5C temperature limit and into climate breakdown, the UK’s former climate chief has warned.

Alok Sharma, who was president of the #Cop26 summit in Glasgow, said it was vital that governments made a clear commitment in the next few days to eliminate #coal, #oil and #gas.

“If you’re going to keep 1.5C alive, you’re going to have to have language on a phase-out of fossil fuels,” he told the Observer in an interview. “And you’re going to need to accompany that with a credible implementation plan.”

He urged governments to act. “We are running out of time. The window on 1.5C is closing fast, and unless we are willing to act now, with the urgency that this issue demands, we will lose that 1.5C,” he said. “We are literally in the last chance saloon to save our children’s future.”"

3/n and we need to at least try to do whatever we can to ensure the best possible outcome - even if this is minimal and will only highlight our powerlessness etc. as a minimum, we have to understand what’s going on.

I am saying this as after #COP26 and in the run up to #COP27 i kept on tweeting about the #RatchetMechanism but seemed to be virtually the only one. It may well be that I was misguided but i couldn’t help wondering whether
