If meetings don't deliver, change format.
Example:
Unlike COPs, the purpose was to "debate practical ways to move away from coal, oil and gas".
The representatives described the conference as a “safe space for discussion”. Said a rep: “That kind of space I haven’t seen in my 10-year history with the UNFCCC.”The representatives have walked away with plans for three workstreams:
a. to develop national “roadmaps” to move away from fossil fuels,
b. to design new tools to address fossil-fuel subsidies – with support by the International Institute for Sustainable Development #IISD
c. to connect fossil fuel producers and consumers to address carbon-intensive trade – with support by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development #OECDMore:

US Leads Global Surge in Oil and Gas Expansion, Analysis Finds
"#FossilFuel corporations, and the governments that support them, will never stop unless forced to. Neither has any interest in the future of the climate, our world, or their own kids." - Bill McGuire
by Edward Carver
Jul 24, 2024"Five wealthy countries including the #UnitedStates have led a global surge in oil and gas development in 2024, threatening international #ClimateGoals, according to an analysis published by The Guardian on Wednesday.
"The U.S., #UnitedKingdom, #Canada, #Australia, and #Norway together are projected by the end of 2024 to have issued licenses for fossil fuel projects that will emit 11.9 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetimes—far more than in any of the previous five years, and roughly equal to a full year of emissions from #China, the world's highest emitter—according to industry data analyzed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (#IISD) and shared with the newspaper.
"The five states are responsible for more than two-thirds of all oil and gas licenses issued globally since 2020, with the U.S. alone accounting for half of the world total. President Joe Biden's administration increased oil and gas licensing by 20% over Trump-era levels, and issued a record 758 new extraction licenses in 2023, according to the analysis.
"'The U.S. has become a petrostate and is still, even under President #Biden, permitting new drilling,' John Sterman, a climate policy expert and professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's business school, told The Guardian. 'The developed countries don't show any significant efforts to limit drilling.'
"Sterman pointed to a 'fundamental contradiction' between rich countries' international commitments and their ongoing fossil fuel expansion. 'We can't keep going on like this,' he said.
"The industry's grip on U.S. politicians has made significant policy change in Washington difficult. In the past decade, fossil fuel companies have spent $1.25 billion on federal #lobbying and more than $650 million on campaign contributions, according to #OpenSecrets data.
"The Conservative-led U.K. government issued a surge of #NorthSea licenses in the first half of this year, but lost power to the Labour Party following a general election earlier this month. It's not yet clear if Labour will be able or willing to rescind licenses already issued. Currently the U.K. is set to finish 2024 with 72 licenses for projects that would create 101 million metric tons of #GreenhouseGas emissions over their lifetimes—a 50-year high, according to the IISD analysis. Norway and Australia are also seeing major upticks this year.
"Capital expenditure at the world's largest oil companies is up 60% since 2020, with $302 billion projected to be spent on well development this year, The Guardian reported. The fossil fuel expansion continues even though the reserves in rich countries are generally hard to reach, as more accessible reserves have already been tapped.
"The expansion also comes in spite of disturbing climate news—2023 was hottest year on record, June was the 13th consecutive hottest month, and Monday was the hottest day, having broken a record set the previous day—and dire warnings from leading international institutions. No new fossil fuel projects can proceed if the world is to meet the 1.5° Paris agreement target, the International Energy Agency declared in 2021."

"Governments battle over carbon removal and renewables in #IPCCreport"
"#IISD reports that #France and #Germany “cautioned that #CDR deployment at scale is unproven and *risky*” and “asked for more detail on their limits and risks”. #Mexico, #Kenya and #Bolivia also raised concerns about CDR’s role."
