We need an ABC of NDCs: A - is for ambitious new emissions targets, economy-wide, covering all greenhouse gases, keeping 1.5 alive. B – broken down into sectors and gases. And C – credible, with regulations, laws, and the funding to ensure goals are implemented.

We need to step up on all fronts: governments, business and civil society. EU Climate Commissioner @WBHoekstra & I discussed how to accelerate towards #COP29. Also great to see biz and civic leaders pushing for strong national climate plans at #LondonClimateWeek. #Mission2025

Letter from Brazil, Azerbaijan & UAE to fellow governments + UN says they will submit '1.5C aligned' #climate plans with 2035 emission targets. Quite a commitment from 3 petro-states, when you think about it...

With the hammer coming down in record time at #COP28, we have witnessed the power of the collective in determining our future. Even if many of us wanted to go even further, the end of the fossil fuel era is inevitable. The transformation is going to be tough, but it’s unstoppable

1700 climate leaders signed a letter for a historic outcome at #COP28. ⁦Listen to @RacMoses⁩. We stand in support behind all countries in delivering a 1.5°C aligned plan. Parties, it’s time to prove which side of history you're on! ⁦@OutrageOptimism⁩ #LaterIsTooLate

The #COP28 text remains insufficient. 2,000+ leaders have demonstrated what needs to be delivered: a 1.5C plan. Those who're blocking a strong outcome on phase out are failing people & planet. With just hours to go, which side of history will you choose to be on? #LateIsTooLate
