New working paper on Equitable Transitions Away from Fossil Fuels (ETAFFs) - read it hot off the press here commerce.uct.ac.za/sites/defaul... 🧵👇

Avui escrivim a @publico.es amb Olga Alcaraz sobre la incompatibilitat d'ampliar l'aeroport del Prat i complir amb els objectius de lluita contra el #canviclimàtic. Sembla una obvietat, però es veu que no ho és. www.diaripublic.cat/opinio/ampli...

Ampliar el Prat en plena emergència climàtica

Després d'un estiu de temperatures extremes, sequeres i grans incendis forestals, els efectes del canvi climàtic ja no són una qüestió de futur.

diaripublic.cat

No, els estius ja no són com quan érem petits. Fa dies que parlo amb veïnes i amics i molta gent fa la mateixa reflexió: No recorden tenir aquesta calor a l'estiu de la seva infància. És perquè la memòria ho suavitza tot, o realment han pujat les temperatures? Spoiler alert: és el canvi climàtic

Cinco fragmentos de la conferencia "Sí hay futuro, y será solarpunk". Como mencioné, tuvo algo de insólito hablar de solarpunk en la sede de un ministerio de un país. Hacerlo en el MITECO fue especial porque el MITECO se ha mantenido a la vanguardia de las políticas de transición justa...

It's time to talk about that thing I spent most of my PhD studying: OPEC! This is going to be a bit of a messy situation though I think, overall, this is a positive development for energy transition so here goes my take on what to expect. 1/x #EconSky #EnergySky #ClimateSky #Greensky

BREAKING: The United Arab Emirates has said it has quit OPEC and OPEC+, dealing a heavy blow to the oil-exporting groups after the US-Israel war on Iran triggered a historic energy shock.

1/ New working paper by Greg Muttitt and me, on equitable fossil fuel transitions. GST called for nationally determined contributions to global efforts, incl “transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner”. commerce.uct.ac.za/sites/defaul...

Electric vehicles are already cutting 2.3 million barrels of oil demand per day. That's about to double under a business-as-usual scenario this decade. It could go faster if EV sales rise, which there are indications they will at this oil price. 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Between 2020 and 2024 Spain “cut its power sector import bill more than any other EU country.” It did this by adding new solar and wind farms which “avoided 26 billion cubic metres of gas imports costing €13.5 billion”. www.euronews.com/2026/03/11/s...

Spain could be the only EU country to beat energy price hikes

Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe.

"If that can be kept short, and focused, why not? But there would still be a need for an implementation forum alongside to give it credibility."

COP30 needs an implementation forum, not another cover decision

The focus in Belém should be a plan to get results on climate action in the real world rather than haggling over a political statement

I wrote for @climatechangenews.com why #COP30 needs a #coverdecision to succeed COP30’s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap. If #COP30 must respond to this ambition gap, a cover decision emerges as the most credible path forward. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/09/25/w...
