10 years on from the Paris Agreement, the political economy is very clear that the future is one of decarbonisation - but we have work to do. Recent analysis shows that existing NDC commitments can comfortably be at least 3x times more ambitious than existing versions.
#Mission2025 is ready to support leaders to lead now.

Thank you @Sammy_Roth . Agree completely. Let’s get this done!
My column today is basically a plea for people who care about climate to stop yelling at each other about which solutions are “better” or “cheaper” and start coming to grips with the reality that it’s 2024 and we don’t have time for that shit anymore. latimes.com/environment/news…
