UN-Umweltprogramm fordert Kurswechsel
Bericht warnt vor katastrophalen Folgen zögerlichen Handelns
Nairobi. Das UN-Umweltprogramm (#Unep) fordert von der Weltgemeinschaft einen entschiedenen Kurswechsel in der #Umwelt- und #Klimapolitik. Die Menschheit stehe vor einer einfachen Wahl, sagte Exekutivdirektorin Inger Andersen bei der Vorstellung des 7. Globalen Umweltausblicks in Nairobi: »Den Weg weiterzugehen in eine Zukunft, die von #Klimawandel, schwindender #Natur, degradierten #Böden und verschmutzter #Luft verwüstet ist, oder eine Kursänderung vorzunehmen, um einen gesunden Planeten, gesunde Menschen und gesunde #Volkswirtschaften zu sichern.«
Um bis 2050 #Klimaneutralität zu erreichen und eine ausreichende #Finanzierung für den Erhalt und die Wiederherstellung der #Biodiversität sicherzustellen, seien jährliche Investitionen von rund acht Billionen US-Dollar (rund 6,9 Billionen Euro) erforderlich. »Die Kosten des Nichtstuns sind jedoch weitaus höher«, betonte Andersen.

Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states re AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU:
“We have abandoned 2030 [climate targets]; there's no way we can achieve that. I think it lacks the honesty that Canadians deserve on this issue. It's disingenuous."

Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states re AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU:
The budget “explicitly mentioned that we're excluding "enhanced oil recovery" from the tax credit -- a demand from Green Party Leader Elizabeth May that Guilbeault had communicated to Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne as her red line.
“Then Elizabeth votes for us with the budget, and then, we turn around two weeks later, barely, and we include this in the MOU with Alberta."
"This is unacceptable, I gave my word to Elizabeth, we gave our word as a party to Elizabeth, and we're betraying our word to her.”

The National Observer zooms in on AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU, as proposing:
🪔 "to slash-and-burn a series of climate policies" affecting clean electricity regulations, the oil and gas emissions cap and the oil tanker moratorium on B.C.'s coast
🪔 "dramatic reversal in policy that would allow carbon capture tax credits to be used for "enhanced oil recovery" (pumping more oil out of the ground using captured carbon dioxide) — despite that being explicitly excluded in the federal budget"
Former 🇨🇦 Cabinet Minister Steven Guilbeault states:
🚨"the government isn't being honest with the public and is betraying its commitments"

On today's AB-Ottawa/Federal government energy MOU...
Julia Levin, associate director at Environmental Defense Canada: "All of this was ostensibly to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, but it's actually set to *weaken* pricing and undermine the entire regime".
That was Levin's comment with regards to catching this tweet by AB Premier Smith's chief of staff and his interpretation & takeaway (appearing different than Carney's announcement):

🍮 Wissen zum Nachtisch: 🍨
Was genau zählt eigentlich als #Mikroplastik?
Die Europäische Union, das Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen und #Umweltschützer verwenden überraschend unterschiedliche Definitionen. Wer wissen will, wie Mikroplastik definiert wird und woraus sich Probleme ergeben, sollte diesen Beitrag lesen.

Il report Emission Gas: siamo lontani dagli obiettivi climatici
Il Programma per l'Ambiente dell'ONU (#UNEP) ha pubblicato oggi l'ultima edizione dell' #EmissionGasReport, pochi giorni prima dell'apertura della #COP30, il vertice sul clima a Belem, in Brasile.
Se tutti i Paesi rispettassero i piani per contenere il riscaldamento globale (#NDC), allo stato attuale le temperature aumenterebbero tra 2,3 e 2,5°C, cioè meno dei 2,6-2,8°C previsti nel 2023.

UNEP’s carbon gap report, link here
- we’re still heading towards 2.8C warming by 2100 on current climate policies
- if all unconditional, conditional and net zero pledges were implemented by all countries, we could limit warming to 1.9C
UNEP Gap report?
I wish I'd really understand by now what the % chance mean in climate lingo. As layperson, I'd look at the 90% figure for likely outcome. But talk is about the 66% figure https://www.unep.org/resources/emissions-gap-report-2025
Canada's and Russia's emission paths up to now are so much alike, if I were Canadian, I'd be ashamed to be so like Putler's arrogant climate denial.
Note the phrase "if continued" in the projection figure...
Robin Lamboll, the godess of CO2-budgets, wrote on Bluesky
"Something that's worth flagging about this report is the subtle pivot from "current policy" being the worst-case scenario to including discussions of backsliding. Most calculations presented include the USA meeting its new-but-Biden-era NDC commitments, which will formally elapse in Jan."

“UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report 2025: Off Target finds that global warming projections over this century, based on full implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), are now 2.3-2.5°C, compared to 2.6-2.8°C in last year’s report. Implementing only current policies would lead to up to 2.8°C of warming, compared to 3.1°C last year.” 😢

"Happy" to see that Europe's commitment is visible in this graph of the @unep
However, overall, we might lose the race...
Current policies - the ones countries already have in place - would lead to even more warming, of around 2.8°C, #UNEP said.
The world has made some progress. A decade ago, when the #ParisAgreement was signed, the planet was on course for around a 4°C temperature rise.
But heat-trapping #CO2 #emissions continue to rise, as countries burn #coal, #oil & #gas to power their economies.
Global #GreenhouseGas #emissions increased by 2.3% in 2024, to 57.7 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent, UNEP said.
Yet govts' latest pledges to cut #emissions in future, if met, would see the world face 2.3-2.5°C of warming, #UNEP said.
That's around 0.3°C less warming than the UN's projection a year ago—indicating that new emissions-cutting plans announced this year by countries including top #CO2 emitter #China have failed to substantially close the gap.
China pledged in Sept to cut emissions by 7-10% from their peak by 2035. Analysts note China tends to set modest targets & exceed them.
"This will be difficult to reverse—requiring faster & bigger additional reductions in #GreenhouseGas #emissions to minimize overshoot," #UNEP said.
Lead report author Anne Olhoff said deep emissions cuts now could delay when the overshoot happens, "but we can no longer totally avoid it".
The 2015 #ParisAgreement commits countries to limit the global average temperature rise to 2°C above pre-industrial levels, & to aim for 1.5°C.
