I agree that our language should be plain.
• Nation-states do not reimburse debt. (They restructure it.)
• Nation-states can obtain funding by issuing they own money (or credit).
• Nation-states invest or spend as much as they want by issuing they own money (or credit).

Did you know that targeting inequalities is among the best climate policies？Let us explain!

The inscrutable ways of the writing proces resulted in a text on intermediate targets in municipal #climatepolicies instead of the announced text on data and monitoring in the public sector. The data piece will follow in a few weeks https://rzondervan.substack.com/p/notes-132024

Financial institutions should have stopped supporting #coal companies years ago. So far, only 88 top financial institutions – less than 23% – have adopted a coal policy including an explicit restriction for coal developers

There is no #transition:
Climate policies reduce annual GHG #emissions by about 1 Gt/year (0.6 to 1.8 giga-tonnes of CO₂-equivalent/year): https://www.inet.ox.ac.uk/publications/climate-policies-that-achieved-major-emission-reductions-global-evidence-from-two-decades
So, policies of climate change #mitigation achieve 2% of the requirements. Emissions continue at around 50 times more: http://data.yt/projections/2024-results.html#overview-chart

Most #ClimatePolicies flop, but a handful of winners could actually close the emissions gap
"Most of the successes were achieved by a combination of two or more policies.
For example, subsidies or regulations alone don’t work – they have to be combined with price-based instruments like carbon and energy taxes."

In the general reports about the DNC I missed the video's of some speakers.
It was not really difficult to find them.
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland is the first indigenous member of the BidenHarris administration being a very strong advocate of their #ClimatePolicies.

"Aug 23, 2024
Deb Haaland spoke early in the final night of the DNC"
As with all scientific studies of a complicated problem [and moreover with news articles on scientific studies of a complicated problem] the study can't cover every aspect.
It is academically bound by a strict framework and therefore missing the points I was looking for. For instance, the study focusses solely on emissions where 'climate problems' are a complex of very different factors. What about consumerism ? Colonialism ? all important and contributing factors for the #ClimateEmergency.
The article ends with a well deserved compliment to one country and one president.

Quotes:
"Out of 1,500 policies in 41 countries, a small fraction had a big impact."
"António Guterres warned ../\.. “Our world needs climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once.”
"...countries have managed to slash emissions by putting a price on carbon, but the biggest cuts came from adopting a combination of policies."
"Using machine learning, they analyzed 1,500 policies across 41 countries between 1998 and 2022, and found just 63 instances in which countries substantially slashed emissions."
"“I feel like there’s so much gloom and doom around climate policies, that nothing really happens, but actually, we’ve made a fair amount of progress,” Pretis said."
'Governments are falling short of their climate targets set in the 2015 Paris Agreement by about 23 billion metric tons of CO2. The problem isn’t just caused by a lack of ambition, the study says, but a lack of knowledge in terms of what policies work in practice."
"carbon price for power producers. Around the same time, the U.K. had implemented a host of other steps, including stricter air pollution standards, incentives for building solar and wind farms, and a plan to phase out coal plants. Similarly, China cut its industrial emissions by 20 percent from 2013 to 2019 through a pilot emissions-trading program, but also by reducing fossil fuel subsidies and strengthening financing for energy-efficiency investments."
"Because of the bounds of the study, it also missed some of the most significant climate policies, Wagner said, pointing to the carbon taxes Sweden’s government passed in the early 1990s and the Inflation Reduction Act, signed by President Joe Biden in 2022."
“I wouldn’t be surprised if this exercise gets repeated five, 10 years from now, the Inflation Reduction Act would show up” as causing a big drop in emissions, Wagner said."

Evaluation of #climatepolicy over 2 decades: A global PIK study of 1,500 #climatepolicies, published in the journal Science, shows most failed to cut emissions. Only 63 cases saw a 19% average reduction. The key? Tax & price incentives in smart policies.
