Entering #COP30 today as youth demand a #fossilfuel roadmap from governments and the COP3 presidency ✊
November 19, 2025 at 12:08 PM
Action at #COP30 by @caneurope.org demanding a #JustTransition mechanism (#BAM)

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.

✊powerful moment: #IndigenousPeoples block the #COP30 entrance on their land & COP President + CEO come out to meet them. delegates attending create a human chain around them for protection.

#Belém is on the lands of the Tupinambá and Pacajás peoples.

Really full house today at the #Brazil pavilion as 5 ministers and envoys join minister #Mariana Silva to call for a roadmap on transitioning away from #fossilfuels at #COP30

prepare for a fight at #COP30.

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

New NDC synthesis report update shows we are still way of track at #COP30

But ohh boy are we better than before the #ParisAgreement - more work for us here in Belem

WOW! President Lula opens #COP30 with his strongest call yet to “get rid of fossil fuels” and “accelerate the energy transition.”

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.

🌎 Right now UNSG Guterres opens the Leaders Summit at #COP30, if you read one thing today, read his speech:

"The hard truth is that we have failed to ensure we remain below 1.5 degrees."

NVIDIA boss says USA will loose the #AI race to #China die to high #energy prices- noteworthy the US meets its data center demand largely from #fossil #gas.

Much to unpack re AI regulation but interesting to see this, #fossilfuels are the loosing team.

#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

Just finished and this excellent and most timely book by @joan-c-williams.bsky.social on how the left lost the #workingclass and how to win it back.

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!

These two headlines are one day apart.
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.

A thread. 1/3 #BillGates

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

#COP30 s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap.

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.

☀️ Great news!

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!

#Tunisia seems very eager to highlight the status of their new #climate target aka #NDC elements as an initial draft - by misspelling draft on the first page 😅.

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.

#UN confirms: people in #Gaza suffer from a #famine.

A famine "openly promoted" by the government of #Israel as a weapon of war.

Good news!

#China s GHG emissions keep falling.

Structural change, largely driven by electrification and record breaking #renewables are bringing about this systematic change.
