China and EU are leading economies and will have to continue to take responsibility to urgently tackle the global challenge of climate change.

Our hosts engaged in a genuine dialogue on the need for ambitious climate plans (NDCs), climate finance, optimism about the increase in renewable energy, but concerns about fossil fuels, including coal. We look forward to further engagements for a successful COP29.

Climate Envoys of DEN, FRA, GER, NLD and the EU met with the new Special Climate Envoy Liu Zhenmin and Vice Minister Zhao Yingmin, amongst other authorities, experts and private sector. The aim was to build relationships, improve mutual understanding and increase cooperation.

5 European Climate Envoys made a first joint visit to China to strengthen diplomatic engagement on climate action, in coordination with and in support of the European Commission’s High Level Dialogue with China.

As we head into the final stretch of #IMO #MEPC80 meetings, I want to address some #disinformation we’re seeing about two goals we have this week: a) targets for decarbonisation, and b) the levy.

#ClimateActionNow

For more on these gaps in ambition & implementation – and what the world needs to do to close them – take a look at the analysis in our World Energy Outlook 2022:

Key findings: iea.li/3NhcdiA

Our Net Zero Roadmap: iea.li/3MYyEb0

More to come later this year!

This leaves an implementation gap of around 5 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2030 between current policies & NDCs on one hand, and net zero pledges on the other

And on top of that there is an 8.5 billion-tonne ambition gap in 2030 between net zero pledges & our 1.5 C pathway

Under current policy settings & Nationally Determined Contributions, global warming is set to reach 2.5 C, well above the Paris goals

If countries adopt new policies & NDCs in line with their net zero pledges, warming may be limited to 1.7 C – better, but still going above 1.5 C

'We know that oil & gas are responsible for climate change! So the world must put a stop to the usage of fossil fuels. It is about justice.” Brilliant words from👩‍🎓 Catalia Vusi & Joyline Alfred from Pele Island in Vanuatu. 🇩🇰 dedicated to fight climate change #BOGA @danjoergensen

The #ClimateFinance Delivery Plan (2021) projected that the $100 Bn p.a. goal would be achieved in 2023. Based on the assumptions underlying that projection, as well as the contributors´ positive updates from yesterday, the contributors fully expect to meet the goal this year.

As a first step - Yesterday, Steven Guilbeault & I co-convened a group of contributors to consider the $100 billion collective mobilization goal, in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation.

It was an honour to partner with the Pacific Islands Forum Pacific Islands Forum and the Government of Fiji 🇫🇯 on Wednesday’s dialogue

The first high-level meeting since #COP27 starts today. 🌍

Ministers and envoys meet at the #CopenhagenClimateMinisterial to mobilize implementation on the ground and operationalize the milestones from Sharm el-Sheikh.

Today’s IPCC report shows that we need a managed phase out of oil and gas, now

#BOGA members are leading the way by:

🛑 Halting new licensing rounds

📉 Setting Paris Aligned end dates for existing production

🌍 Working to establish a just, global phase out

We look forward to partnering with the Pacific!Thank you for your leadership!
