The @IEA has shown that a 1.5C-aligned, net-zero by 2050 transition would mean lower energy costs globally than a pathway under current policies. Honoured to work with ASG @SelwinHart to help ensure a fast and fair fossil fuel phase-out & energy transition. Read his interview ⤵️

The other #petrostates - US, Canada, Norway, UK and Australia
- often portrayed as climate leaders, these are responsible for two-thirds of all new oil and gas licences issued globally since 2020

📣 @antonioguterres on #WorldEnvironmentDay
“Economic logic makes the end of the fossil fuel age inevitable.
The only questions are: Will that end come in time? And will the transition be just?
We must ensure the answer to both questions is: yes”

A thing that is often overlooked in the climate debate is that #G7 countries produce 1/3 of the world's oil and gas.
Without a G7 plan to end fossil fuels at home and abroad, the #COP28 pledge will remain words on paper.

Momentum grows as country number 13 calls for a @fossiltreaty negotiating mandate!
This critical move recognizes that ongoing fossil fuel extraction clashes with the 1.5°C limit, a limit that aims to ease the devastating climate impacts on SIDS.

#MarshallIslands calls for a #FossilFuelTreaty at @UN #SIDS4! 🇲🇭
This Pacific nation, a leader in climate action, echoes the spirit of nuclear non-proliferation by taking on new weapons of mass destruction—fossil fuels.

📢With its vote for the EU 🇪🇺 to leave the #EnergyCharterTreaty, @Europarl_EN underlines that granting #fossilfuel companies privileged access to #ISDS is fundamentally incompatible with #climateaction.

It's #UNGASustainabilityWeek!
The 🌏 has passed the halfway point on the #SDGs but current policies will not be enough to limit warming to 1.5°C.
Take a look as we put the spotlight on energy (#SDG7) & climate action (#SDG13). 👇

⚠️ #SouthAfrica has proposed plans to 📈 gas-fired power, but this risks ⬆️ dependence on fossil fuels & exposure to volatile markets.
With the price of renewables ⬇️ 77% since 2011, 🇿🇦 must shift focus.

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth. It must choose: keep contributing to the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy.
Its efforts to date aren’t encouraging. It accounts for only 1% of global clean energy investment → iea.li/3PBSMC6
