Scientists, UN demand climate reset
5h
Climate scientists and a U.N. official said emissions targets were incompatible with limiting warming to 1.5°C and urged governments to reset ambitions, while commentators cautioned against abandoning the Paris agreement.
New reality: the 1.5 °C target is slipping out of reach. Glen P. Peters argues that while staying under 1.5 °C may become impossible, staying well below 2 °C remains within reach — and urgent, pragmatic policy action can still make a difference.

Is limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C still possible? - Glen P. Peters, 2024
It is always possible to find arguments to make 1.5°C forever possible, but they increasingly diverge from reality. It is time to admit that the world will cros...

Es incómodo para un científico recordar lo apremiante y grave de la crisis climática, la relativa inacción y los niveles de hipocresía que se gastan en materia climática y ambiental. Es motivante construir un Pacto de Estado por el clima.

La semana pasada los gobiernos europeos llegaron a un acuerdo de mínimos sobre medidas contra el cambio climático.
Hoy se ha votado en el Europarlamento, y la mayoría del PP europeo ha votado a favor de ese acuerdo.
¿Adivináis el PP de qué país/es ha/n votado en contra?

The Paris agreement is not perfect but don’t write it off
Despite limits of multilateralism the world would be much worse off without the historic climate accord

EU’s new 2040 climate deal: "It's a political compromise that at least keeps the 2050 target within reach,” PIK director Edenhofer says. “If the targets are constantly being watered down, that’s not a good idea, because then the 2050 target will not be achievable."

The world is failing to meet the 2.0°C target of the Paris Agreement, let alone 1.5°C.
1.5°C was always nearly impossible, but did setting that goal help or hurt climate action?

📈 Climate policy is growing and getting stronger📈
New rules continue to be added at a fast pace. More importantly, our detailed assessment allows us to measure their quality. Ambition has risen significantly since 2020, and a bit less (but still some) since 2024.

For one, a "top-down legally binding treaty" is not on the agenda at #COP30 in Brazil. This idea died back in 2009, at the Copenhagen COP. In many ways, the 2015 Paris Agreement offers all the benefits that Helm seems to want out of "bottom-up" climate action. Why rehash these decades-old debates?

Reasons for climate optimism – part 8
Rich nations’ historical responsibility for climate damages as well as their responsibility to support mitigation and adaptation in other countries is increasingly recognized. This can incentivize governments to cooperate on climate issues.
