good trouble...
TONIGHT we shut down Vivek's town hall and called him out for what he is: a Climate Criminal who has invested $50 million in fossil fuels.
He told us he's proud to be making money off the fossil fuel companies that are burning our planet.

HAPPENING NOW!
International activists and multiple environmental organisations join in protest in at the Norwegian Parliament to denounce the absurdity of mining the Arctic.
Deep sea mining in the Arctic?
There’s NO(R)WAY!

While the decision on the global stocktake took most of the limelight especially in relation to mitigation, less attention was paid to the decision on the global goal on adaptation (GGA) where Parties struggled to find consensus on the GGA framework.

My letter in the Financial Times.
"Carbon markets are not the solution to a very real finance problem. Developed countries need to stop looking for ways to dodge their responsibilities and instead actually deliver on their financing promises."

The loudest statement at this #COP28 plenary is the absence of small island states when the gavel went down.
Source described the stark contrast from the overflow room: while the plenary applauded, "here there is only anger or stunned silence."
Here's the statement from AOSIS:

BREAKING #COP28: Small Island Developing States @AOSISChair very concerned by the current draft text: “weak langage on fossil fuels”, “completely insufficient”. “It doesn’t refer to a phase out at all.” “Any text that compromises 1.5°C will be rejected.” Minister Cedric Schuster

⏰ As the clock is ticking and we reach the final hours of #COP28 — we have a message for World Leaders:
HOLD THE LINE. Do not rush.
#HoldTheLine and deliver fast, fair, forever, full, funded, out of all fossil fuels. #EndFossilFuels.

As we wait with bated breath for updates on the #GlobalStocktake, here's where #NCQG is at:
- Text on process, work modality for climate finance in 2024 agreed upon
- At least three Technical Expert Dialogues and three meetings conducive to negotiations to be held next year ++

The current #COP28 proposal to phase out "unabated fossil fuels" (h/t @DrSimEvans) is steeped in deception. Even the best current proofs of concept for carbon capture fail to achieve carbon neutrality and suffer from massive leakage of CO2 into atmosphere. From #NewClimateWar:

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
Bolivia called for a moratorium on carbon markets in Articles 6.2 and 6.4 in this morning’s A6.4 negotiations! Bolivia is calling for a cease of market functions under the Article 6.2 and 6.4 mechanism, and proposed a list of options of how to end them!

#COP28 "For the global south there can be no discussion about fossil fuel phaseout without discussing sustainable development, economic diversification & the west's carbon budget overuse".

DCJ members demanding #Reparations and #ClimateFinance at #COP28. Rich nations spend billions susidising #fossilfuel campaigns and military campaigns but can only come up with meagre payouts for finance to support #LossAndDamage, mitigation, #GCF or adaptation.
