At the final plenary of the 1st fossil-fuel conf, the hosts have presented "three workstreams" These are: 🌎The development of national roadmaps away from fossil fuels 🌎Addressing "macroeconomic dependencies and financial architecture" 🌎Addressing "trade and investment balance for decarbonisation"

It's officially been confirmed that Tuvalu, along with other Pacific Small Islands Developing States, will host the 2nd conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels in 2027🇹🇻 Tuvalu is also calling for a "binding international instrument to manage fossil fuel supply and demand"

Colombia's fossil-fuel roadmap is led by Prof Piers Forster, head of the Priestley Centre at the University of Leeds It says Colombia can cut total energy emissions by 90% on 2015 levels by 2050 This will require "considerable" upfront investment, but could end in a net economic benefit of $280bn

The new science panel was launched by Johan Rockström of @pik-potsdam.bsky.social and Brazilian scientist Carlos Nobre It aims to provide nations and talks with quick analysis for transitioning away from fossil fuels It will involve "50-100" scientists and be based at the University of São Paulo

NEW: North Sea misinformation is rife in UK media, as the O&G lobby uses the energy crisis to push gov to issue new licences We tackle myths on emissions, tax, bills, jobs One key point is new drilling will barely change future output, as the basin is in decline www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-ni...

The loud and colourful display is a marked change from COP27, COP28 and COP29. These were held in countries with restrictive laws on protests, forcing civil society to hold much smaller demonstrations inside the COP’s blue zone, which is technically UN soil.

Trump also claimed that "there’s tremendous oil that hasn’t been found in the North Sea" This flies in the face of evidence showing both oil and gas production in the North Sea have already peaked and are in decline, regardless of UK climate policies
