@aradwanski.bsky.social preview of Carney’s likely climate strategy confirms that Canada is, yet again, refusing to deal with the oil and gas sector, which generates around 1/3 of Canada’s emissions. Carney is gambling w Canada's economic future & he should know better. 🧵

If your first line about #MarinaCachado ’s #NobelPeacePrize win is that #Trump didn’t get it, the problem isn’t his ego, it’s your editorial judgment.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

#Russia just published irs new #climate target aka #NDC

Topline target 65-67% reduction looks good until you realize this is largely based on emission drops after the fall of Soviet Union and accounting tricks - yet even a cleptocracy petro state moves forward a tiny bit

40,000 people on the streets in Paris, & across France, for #ClimatJusticeLibertés.

Their demands: 🇫🇷 government stop derailing climate action & repair colonial environmental crimes, tax the super-rich & big polluters to fund public services & the energy transition, & a full arms embargo on Israel.

In their recent report, @oxfaminternational.bsky.social highlights the importance of forging a new path for the renewable energy transition, instead of extraction and exploitation.

The super-rich cannot continue to profit whilst communities on the front lines of the climate crisis bear the costs. ❌

For every #ElectricVehicle that contains about 3kg of cobalt mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tesla earns approximately $3,150 in profit. While the DRC government receives less than $10 in royalties and the average miner earns just $7!

#COP30 s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap.

For @climatechangenews.com I write why a cover decision is the best-placed procedural vehicle to balance different elements of the ambition package at @cop30brazil.bsky.social.

"COP30’s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap. Attempts to spin COP30 as a success without such a response seem hollow. If COP30 must respond to this ambition gap, a cover decision emerges as the most credible path forward."

Some further anslysis on #Chinas new #climate target - it falls short and as Inpointnout to Aljazeera new coal plants keep getting authorized - this must stop.

Yet at the same time likely China will overdeliver and sets a path for transformation- but needs to speed up

China’s new climate target branded ‘disappointing’, ‘underwhelming’
Pledge to cut emissions by 7-10 percent does not go far enough, though renewables rollout a cause for hope, experts say.
