I wrote about just transition in Brazil for UNRISD - TLDR, lots of different impacts, from new kinds of energy, from old ones, with different implications for different groups (some hit urban, some indigenous, some quilombolos, some labor) www.unrisd.org/en/library/p...

Enjoyed @jeffcolgan.bsky.social's new piece in which he builds on my idea to elevate climate change as structural factor alongside anarchy in IR. He argues anarchy, nature, & innovation are ordering principles that shape units & interact. 1/ academic.oup.com/isr/article/...

It appears the #COP30 presidency tried to pull a Baku – ignoring calls for the floor when adopting a decision to force a delegation’s hand and/or allow them to save face – and it was taken badly by a number of parties.
Shots fired #COP30 plenary

PANAMA: "Mr. President, Panama is extremely disappointed. We were promised a transparent process. That is not what we're seeing. I raise my flag and you ignore it. I raise a point of order, and you ignore it. I sustain it, and it can be ignored."

It's day 11 of #COP30 and it's the second dawn without a new text.

Looks to be another fairly quiet day today until we get that draft text.
It's day 10 of #COP30 and several media are reporting more than 80 countries support a roadmap for transitioning away from fossil fuels.

Meanwhile, we're waiting on new text that was promised to drop this morning...
It's day 9 of #COP30 and there are several new texts out overnight. Let's dive in...

Regarding Turkey hosting #COP31 and Australia presiding
This is a first. Usually host and president are the same country. The only exceptions are Fiji /Bonn (2017) and Chile /Madrid (2019) but for very different reasons.

Bill Gates, Tony Blair, CFR are rethinking climate change in the Trump era: more "realistically." Can we dismiss this trend or do we need to understand what it means global climate politics? 🧵

Many new draft decision texts were released overnight at #COP30, including a draft “Global Mutirão” decision

The Presidency pushed Parties to wrap up, but consultations Tuesday showed little sign of progress

More sessions were scheduled until midnight

Brazil’s #COP30 presidency has been keen to provide space for discussions beyond the formal agenda (package one), defusing the risk of a prolonged agenda fight and paving the way for something akin to a cover decision.
COP president André Corrêa do Lago floats the possibility of "two packages" at #COP30:
- one for finance, trade measures, transparency and 1.5C in consultations: "four themes that are very important to COP"
- package for the "main COP themes", including adaptation, fair or just transition.
