#COP31 will be hosted by Türkiye, with Australia maintaining some powers of COP presidency to manage the climate negotiations, such as preparing draft texts and issuing a cover decision.

The Pacific will be hosting a pre-COP summit and pledging event for the Pacific Resilience Fund.

In the 10 years since the Paris Agreement, global oil and gas production has increased more than 8%, when it should have been falling.

Four countries -US, Canada, Australia and Norway- are overwhelmingly responsible for the increase. The rest of the world has DECREASED its production since Paris.

"If that can be kept short, and focused, why not? But there would still be a need for an implementation forum alongside to give it credibility."
COP30 needs an implementation forum, not another cover decision
The focus in Belém should be a plan to get results on climate action in the real world rather than haggling over a political statement

I wrote for @climatechangenews.com why #COP30 needs a #coverdecision to succeed

COP30’s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap. If #COP30 must respond to this ambition gap, a cover decision emerges as the most credible path forward.

TODOS los minerales que debemos extraer para la transición energética los próximos 25 AÑOS implican menos extractivismo minero que 1 SOLO AÑO de economía fósil. Un dato clave que aún no tiene relato ecologista que lo abandere. ¿Queremos decrecer en minería en términos absolutos? ¡Descarbonicemos!

Este acuerdo tiene una variante climática que innegable. Vamos a comprar gas y petróleo a EEUU, sí o sí, por valor de 750.000 millones de dólares.

Oponerse de manera maximalista y sin argumentos a las renovables también tiene consecuencias, como aceptar la dependencia fósil de potencias como EEUU.
