Did you know? ENGIE has set an ambitious target to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2045, following a “Well below 2°C” trajectory of the Paris Agreement. This means reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90% compared to 2017! 📉 Our commitment to climate mitigation and adaptation is at the heart of our business strategy. #withENGIE

A report by the Climate Change Committee, highlighted by Energy Voice, states Scotland’s 2030 emissions reduction goal is now seen as “beyond what is credible”. We’re keen to know: What are your thoughts on achieving these targets? Can innovative strategies in the energy sector make a difference? Join the discussion and share your thoughts in the comments section. 🗨️ 🔗: https://lnkd.in/ejQvWmTz #ClimateChange #Scotland #Sustainability

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) recently published the UK Progress Report for 2024 which discovered that only a little over 30% of the emission reductions required to achieve the 2030 targets are covered by credible plans. #netzero #climatechange #climatetargets

It's widely recognised by experts, including the United Nations IPCC and the UK’s Climate Change Committee, that carbon removal technologies like #BECCS are critical to reaching Net Zero targets. 🌍 Importantly, BECCS is the only technology which can generate both renewable power and carbon removals that can be sold as carbon credits to help hard-to-abate sectors decarbonise. ⚡️ This animation from a recent @POLITICO article shows the areas in which we still expect to see positive emissions from these sectors in 2050 and where carbon removals can help to balance this out. ⚖️ Read more in the full article: https://lnkd.in/eD6BCG9C

“While carbon reduction from electricity generation has shown progress, the rate at which all other sources of emissions are being cut must quadruple to meet the UK’s target under the Paris agreement of 68% reductions in emissions by 2030, according to the Climate Change Committee.” In short, when it comes to carbon reduction performance, as a country we need to up our game by 400%. Does it feel to you as though we’re getting there ?

The Climate Change Committee’s assessment is that only a third of the emissions reductions required to achieve the country’s 2030 target are currently covered by credible plans. Our 2030 target is the first one set in line with a Net Zero trajectory. This news comes against the backdrop of a more positive story – that the country’s emissions are now less than half the levels they were in 1990.

At #COP28, the #EU supported calls for the world to phase out #FossilFuels. But the new EU’s climate targets for 2040 rely extensively on dangerous distractions including Carbon Capture and Storage (#CCS) and risky #CarbonRemoval technologies. These are #FalseSolutions that will delay the transition away from oil, gas, and coal! The Real Zero Europe Campaign and 140+ global civil society organisations call on the EU to be a true climate leader by supporting real #ClimateAction and committing to deploy evidence-based, socially just and people-led solutions to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, down to #RealZero!

Homegrown solution impacting Nigeria’s energy transition, Climate mitigation As the Nigerian state plans to spend $ 3.1 trillion on its energy transition project with climate change mitigation as a cardinal goal, we appeal that locally grown solutions like that of Solomon in the rural Benue community must be identified and supported. https://lnkd.in/d3j4GZu6

Internationally recognised researcher and policy analyst working at the intersection of energy, climate and foreign policy
I struggle to find any justification for this statement from WA’s climate minister in support of our upwards emissions trajectory: “We have a real obligation in Western Australia to reduce emissions worldwide and that means pressure on getting gas to markets, mining critical minerals, mining iron ore – all of these things are essential to build renewable energy infrastructure," he said. There’s an incredibly high burden of proof on the proposition that increasing fossil fuel supply reduces emissions. Yet we’ve been provided no robust evidence to back up these claims. There’s no mention of how this supposed dynamic relates to international carbon accounting frameworks or mechanisms like Article 6 of the Paris Agreement (granted this is not a current area of expertise for me). There’s no consideration of whether our trading partners have credible climate strategies for utilisising gas. My reading is they don’t. There’s no consideration of how willing the rest of Australia might be to pick up our slack, or that if we see rising gas use in industry we should be far more rapidly reducing it elsewhere in the economy. There’s no appreciation of how quickly we’ve gone from a position of arguing that “every country is responsible for their own emissions” to “some jursidictions are responsible for their own AND other countries’ emissions”. Can anyone justify a scenario in which we must now supposedly base our policymaking on Scope 3 over Scope 1 emissions? I also can’t accept the notion WA is somehow immutably tied to a high emissions industrial pathway. This suggests that economic composition is somehow preordained and not the product of numerous decisions by numerous actors with numerous interests. Yes we have resources that are key to global decarbonisation, but we also have those that are detrimental to it. We need to prioritise development of the former while progressively reducing use of the latter. This should be the very definition of gas as a transition fuel. As someone who’s worked a lot to try to advance the “renewable superpower” vision, I’m legitimately disturbed by the thought it’s being used to justify the exact inverse. I’d be genuinely grateful for anyone who can point me in the direction of a credible roadmap for how we manage these tensions or can counter my points. We desperately need more critical dialogue about this. I’d note again that the burden of proof is on those making extraordinary claims.
Today the ABC reports that a "secret" government report has found that WA has no hope of achieving net zero emissions targets by 2050 without radical change. "Climate scientists around the world were "panicking" about government inaction." Climate Analytics CEO Bill Hare said "The only way we can deal with it is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." "Western Australia is on the frontline of very serious climate impacts if we don't get on a pathway to limit warming to 1.5 degrees." Rhiannon Shine writes that the report was commissioned by the WA Government, and provides a summary of analysis by the independent Climateworks Centre, with support from the CSIRO. "The ABC obtained a copy of the report despite being denied access through a Freedom of Information request."

I fully support the Climate Change Committee in their mission to ensure the Government continue on the ambitious path toward emissions reductions. Rather than carrying over surplus emissions from the Third Carbon Budget, we should be using this as inspiration and keeping focused on our targets. Following the Prime Minister’s recent comments regarding taking a more ‘pragmatic pathway to net zero’ after previous decarbonisation progress, it’s vital that as a country we don’t rest on our laurels when we should be continuing full speed ahead. https://lnkd.in/efJEv2f3 #NetZeroJourney #ClimateMilestones #CarbonReduction #climategoals
