Last week we co-hosted an event on "Delivering fair & just net zero transitions in emerging markets & developing economies" w/the Institute for Science, Innovation & Society (INSIS) at London Climate Action Week, drawing on research supported by AXA XL. Read more: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

It's #ShowYourStripes Day, and we're sharing Oxford's warming stripes that show how the city's average temperature has changed since measurements first began at the Radcliffe Meteorological Station in 1814. Read more here: oumnh.ox.ac.uk/show-your-st... @morethanadodo.bsky.social
Rows of stripes moving from mostly blue to mostly red show how Oxford's average temperature has increased since 1814. Each stripe represents the average temperature for one year.

As Dr Jessica Omukuti explains, the energy transition will not happen at the same pace everywhere. She's one of the authors of our new report, "How to invigorate and complete the fossil fuel transition". Check it out here: netzeroclimate.org/publications... @smithschool.ox.ac.uk
The image shows the text of a quote. In the bottom left corner is a decorative design. In the bottom right corner are two logos. The quote reads: 

"For developing countries, we recognise that transitioning away from fossil fuels will not happen immediately. It is a long game, but one that needs to start now. The paper highlights the action points that can be contextualised to developing countries." 

The quote is by Dr Jessica Omukuti, who works for Oxford Net Zero.

The position of fossil fuels might seem secure, but that's not the whole story, says Dr Siyu Feng. She's one of the authors of our new report on "How to invigorate and complete the fossil fuel transition". Read it here: netzeroclimate.org/publications... @smithschool.ox.ac.uk
The image shows the text of a quote. In the bottom left corner is a decorative design. In the bottom right corner are two logos. The quote reads: 

"While fossil fuels still play a large role in today's energy system, their long-term position is less secure than it appears. Falling demand, cheaper clean energy, and the realities of carbon removal are steadily weakening their economic foundations." 

The quote is by Dr Siyu Feng, who works for Oxford Net Zero.

A large boat waits at a dock. In the foreground are three flagpoles. The sky is blue and there are a few clouds. The boat is mostly white, with tropical leaf designs and a blue section painted on the side. Its name is "Banzeiro da Esperança", or Boat of Hope. In the background is another large boat. One person stands on the dock facing away from the camera. In the bottom left corner is the front of a car. A man stands on a stage in front of a crowd. He is talking and holding a microphone. The people in the crowd are seated. Two men stand to his right. There are chairs on the stage. The people are in a large space on a boat.Women sit in chairs in a circle. There is a stool with a padded seat in the middle. They are all looking towards someone who is off camera. Behind the women facing the camera are a TV screen and posters. In the background a person sits at a desk and types on a laptop.A woman stands in front of a leafy background. She is smiling and holding a microphone.

Last week @ec.europa.eu proposed an EU climate target for 2040: reduce the EU's net GHG emissions by 90% relative to 1990. As our Fellow Dr Alice Evatt points out, the proposal needs separate targets for specific actions if it is to have real impact. Read more: buff.ly/AyIL7bk
This image is in two parts. On the left-hand side, a woman in a blazer stands smiling in front of a mirror-fronted building that displays a European Union flag. On the right-hand side is a quote from her: "Separate targets for emission reductions, permanent carbon removal, and LULUCF [land use, land-use change and forestry] are key to climate integrity. There's still time for the EU's 2040 target to get this right". Below the quote is her name and affiliation: Dr Alice Evatt, Oxford Net Zero Research Fellow.
