After Baku and Dubai, messy decision making rears its ugly head again in Belém. Objections have been raised in final plenary to two decisions *after adoption*, by several countries who say their flags were ignored. It would be almost unprecedented for the President to go back on the decision.

👍Great to hear strong defence of the energy transition by @ed-miliband.bsky.social on BBC Today Radio 4 (8:10 interview). 💡Key point: “in 10-15 years time, people will not look back and say why were they going on about climate, they will say why didn’t they talk about it more” Listen on catch up

Surely this should be a red line. New oil and gas for a rich OECD country in 2025 is unconscionable. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Consent for Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields was unlawful
The judgement came after a case brought by environmental campaigners at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

This excellent analysis speaks for itself. It's incomprehensible that @ukgovernment.bsky.social is planning to expand airport capacity in the midst of a #climatecrisis Expanding Heathrow is incompatible with net zero – here’s the evidence theconversation.com/expanding-he...

Expanding Heathrow is incompatible with net zero – here’s the evidence
The UK’s environmental commitments leave no room for extra runways.

New analysis: If four UK airport expansions including Heathrow are allowed to go ahead, they will cancel out the carbon savings of this government’s clean power plan IN JUST FIVE YEARS. This government must cancel these planned expansions. neweconomics.org/2025/01/airp...

Trump has pulled the US out of the #ParisAgreement as expected. 🌎But let's be relieved he has not announced any intention to withdraw from the #UNFCCC That would have been much more serious.

Excited to join international climate politics debate @bsky.app Reposting my recent commentary on COP reform. Key points: 🌎 Organisational tweaks not enough 🌏 Smart voting rules would enable stronger decisions 🌍 Amending UNFCCC to do this not impossible www.climatechangenews.com/2025/01/13/t...

How can we fix climate COPs? Let's start with the voting rules
We can't fix climate COPs with organisational reforms - we need to address the obstruction from blanket consensus decision-making

🌎 Some follow-up to my @climatenews.bsky.social commentary: - Mexico & PNG tabled a proposal to amend UNFCCC to introduce voting rule in 2017. digitallibrary.un.org/record/71962... - See a legal response to it here legalresponse.org/legaladvice/... - Still on COP agenda, but not discussed

Amid all the suggestions for reforms to make COPs more effective, one has flown under the radar: a shift from consensus decisions to majority voting. @joannadepledge.bsky.social writes for @climatehome.bsky.social on how this could be a game-changer www.climatechangenews.com/2025/01/13/t...
