Today and tomorrow UN Climate Change PreCop discusses in preparation for #COP28 what is needed for a course correction in global #climateaction .As part of our work on the #GlobalStocktake with NewClimate Institute Öko-Institut e.V. Wuppertal Institut we unpacked collective progress in reducing emissions

This is a serious issue that undermines communication in the climate community in the run up to the COP. Microsoft does not take this issue seriously enough.

Input to United Nations #ClimateAmbitionSummit for the #GlobalStocktake : What specific actions & targets are needed to spur climate change? What common ground to build on? What needs to happen in 2024?
