Now G77, all developing countries unite behind the „institutional arrangements“ aka setting up a Belem Action Mechanism, the BAM 💥
Admittedly one of the better acronyms.

Sitting on the floor of a UN negotiation room, after 20,000 steps, the first real test is coming mid-week, when countries take stock in plenary.
Three crunch issues are already shaping the tone of this COP a thread 🧵1/X

Lula’s called for clear “roadmaps” on deforestation and a fair #fossilfuel phase-out sets the right tone.
Now COP30 must follow with courage and concrete commitments.

#EU environment ministers just agreed the 2040 Hashtag#climate target: a 90 % net emissions cut & a new 2035 climate plan, just days before #COP30 in Belém.
It’s an outcome that many thought would collapse under the weight of populism & protectionism.
Holding the line at 90 % is no small thing
One of the most thought provoking and helpful books I read in a long while.
Whether you care about climate, economic or racial justice: read this!

So why this shift, Bill? And why now?
This isn’t a new scientific insight, it’s a new narrative.
Its not whether humanity survives but how we exist, and who gets to survive comfortably while others are left to burn, starve, or flee.

If your exports get „harmed“ if another country wants to protect human rights and avoid the worst effects of #climate change, something has gone seriously wrong. Europe should not bend its laws to appease those who profit from exploitation and delay.

When #fossilfuel exporters & demand “dialogue,” they mean bullying.
A letter from #US & #Qatar “urges” #EU to reopen the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, one of Europe’s few serious attempts to hold corporations accountable on #humanrights + environmental harm

For @climatechangenews.com I write why a cover decision is the best-placed procedural vehicle to balance different elements of the ambition package at @cop30brazil.bsky.social.

We witness a seismic shift in countries putting forward concrete #renewable targets with their new #climate goals (aka #NDCs) our new analysis at 350.org & Zero Carbon Analytics shows.
This matters for accountability, planning and the planet!

But more seriously, some good stuff, emission reduction and sectoral reduction targets in the draft elements 👏
💥 Probably the most important table you will see this month: The #ProductionGapReport is out and shows which governments still plan ~120% more #fossilfuel production by 2030 than under a 1.5°C #climate pathway, up from 110% in 2023.

#China s GHG emissions keep falling.
Structural change, largely driven by electrification and record breaking #renewables are bringing about this systematic change.
