#Parisversaire 🧵begins

@antonioguterres throws the gauntlet: "5 yrs after Paris we're not going in the right direction"

Sets a #CredibilityTest for leaders to:
- Declare climate emergency until Net0 reached
- Cut emissions by 45% globally by 2030 to "make Net0 a reality now"
@BorisJohnson picks up the thread for 🇬🇧 reiterating:
1. Mitigation: 2050 net zero & at least -68% NDC
2. Finance: Pitching last night's announcement that UK will end overseas fossil finance + reiterating "putting 11.6bn of our aid to clean transition"
We're double checking, but doesn't sound like anything new from @EmmanuelMacron for 🇫🇷... pretty handsomly upstaged on overseas fossil finance by 🇬🇧.
🇫🇷 can claim strong role in getting the EU's new at least -55% by 2030 NDC over the line.

For 🇨🇱, @sebastianpinera already stepped up early in 2020, used his speaking slot to call on @JoeBiden to bring 🇺🇸 into the 2050 net zero #climateambitionalliance
🇮🇹 up next. Alongside @GiuseppeConteIT & team role in getting new EU at least -55% NDC over the line, big Italian announcement is:

New #climatefinance pledge: 30 million Euros to UN Adaptation Fund

This is good. More is needed, but this is good.
🇨🇳 mixed bag. After typical warm words on #multilateralism and #climategovernance, the new stuff (thx to @e3g's @byfordt):
- Reduce GHG intensity/GDP over 65%
- Increase non-fossil fuel power share to around 25%
- New targets solar/wind power 1200GW
- Raised forest stock goal
China's new intensity target a bit of a disppointment - analysts and our @e3g experts say >70% definitely feasible. New wind and solar target is new and less expected.
