With 8 years to halve emissions we want our leaders to commit to #ClimateActionNow by protecting and restoring habitat and investing in a healthy and prosperous transition to a net zero emissions future through clean energy - a future that will see our country thriving! #auspol

Paris is working. Despite the COVID-19 crisis, we have accelerated action, the COP has responded to the IPCC’s call to close the gap towards 1.5, and coal is in the text. But there is a lot more to do. #COP26 1/6

Tuvalu's foreign minister gave a speech to #COP26 standing knee-deep in seawater.
"It's actually an area that used to be land in the past, so I thought it would be significant to deliver that statement from that location," Simon Kofe said. cnn.it/3wvFs7B

Saudi Arabia, Australia blocking ambitious Glasgow deal at #COP26, say @Greenpeace
Text "fails to acknowledge that fossil fuels are driving the climate crisis, nor does it make any commitment to tangible actions to end global reliance on coal, oil and gas."

"Are we so blinded we can no longer appreciate the cries of humanity?"
"Our people are taking note," the Prime Minister of Barbados says, asking "how many more voices and how many more pictures of people we must see" before action is taken.

This thread on Australia's dodgy #COP26 target underlines why tougher #climate transparency rules under discussion are vital. Some capitals are gaming the system & hoping no-one notices.
The Australian government keeps saying that its own projections show a 35% drop in emissions by 2030 (relative to 2005).
It's a lie. I will quickly explain how it's crafted, because it's really important.
Time, my friends, for a 'lil thread nitter.gq/KetanJ0/status/1448264…

Local Australian governments have proven to be a strong force for ambition. Now the federal government must follow their lead and deliver a more ambitious climate plan ahead of #COP26 @ClimateWorksAus

No success for #COP26 without delivering this 5 Point Plan to developing nations. The #G7 and #G20 failed to put their money where their mouths are. Rich countries need to rebuild trust with poorer nations by delivering these demands. #United4Climate

Eight high school students have won a landmark climate case, which asked the court to recognise that Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley has a duty to protect young people around Australia from foreseeable future climate change harms.

S. Korea will fall embarrassingly short on 2050 #carbonneutrality w/ current policies, @kaistpr & @forourclimate reveals. But the science says 🇰🇷 can achieve #NetZero w/ an enhanced NDC, earlier coal exit, & more renewables. @moonriver365 @mofa_kr @mevpr

We at @CANRacCanada have created this graph to show what Canada's #FairShare is. It's possible for Canada to submit a new domestic target of 60% of reductions in 2030 below 05 levels + help other #GlobalSouth nations reduce emissions eq. to 80% of Canada's 05 emissions

This is an outrageous statement. Less than a week in the job as head of @OECD & @MathiasCormann is already trying to weaken the international response to #climatechange & favour the #climatesceptic policies of the Australian Government.

Australia’s economy stands to lose tens of billions of dollars every year as tourist attractions and natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef disappear due to climate inaction.
