🧵 - Happy #Parisversaire!

The🌍has a LONG way to go to ensure #climatesafety for all but today we're celebrating the 5th Anniversary of the #ParisAgreement.

Where is change happening? Where does more to be done?

@e3G's team is out in force to track the #ClimateAmbitionSummit https://twitter.com/COP26/status/1337713813198680064
@antonioguterres kicks-off the summit after a film chock full of strong youth voices (& dramatic trailer music)

🗝️ message: we are not on track & are still on a 3-degree warming pathway!

🔲declare a state of #ClimateEmergency
🔲use recovery to course-correct
🔲end coal

Already one of my favourites of the day from @antonioguterres:

" #ClimateAction is the barometer of leadership" - now this should be the geopolitical benchmark for 2021 - for the #Biden 🇺🇸, the🇪🇺, 🇨🇳, the #G7, #G20 and beyond.

#ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction
So - strangely phrased but @BorisJohnson did just announce that the UK🇬🇧 will end all direct taxpayer support for #fossilfuel projects overseas - i.e. NO MORE UK export finance for oil, gas & coal - details to follow https://twitter.com/LouBurrows7/status/1337765532510998528
After a slightly luke-warm speech by @EmmanuelMacron (it's a good thing the EU agreed that new 2030 target yesterday) - Chile and Italy bring some fresh wind

Chile invites @JoeBiden to join the #ClimateAmbitionAlliance
& Italy announces EUR 30 million for the 🇺🇳Adaptation Fund
Following weeks of tealeaf reading 🇨🇳Xi speech was UNDERWHELMING
🔲no significant update in CO2 emissions peaking year (still "before 2030")
🔲nothing on non-CO2 gases
🔲nothing on coal or int'l coal finance
✅wind & solar target is new & interesting https://twitter.com/byfordt/status/1337779895863136256
B+ for the 🇪🇺 when it should have been their day in the☀️

✅2030 target stands up pretty well to🌍scrutiny caveats around "net" notwithstanding

🔲nothing on adaptation or finance🌍? a bold forward agenda? Instead carbon pricing alliances? Did no-one tell them 🇺🇸can't play ball?
