Really interesting and plausible parsing of who was on which side of a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels at COP30

Simon Evans@drsimevans.carbonbrief.org · 9mo ago

SCOOP: Carbon Brief has exclusively obtained a list of 84 countries "opposed" to adding a fossil-fuel roadmap to COP30 deal – but our analysis found a series of contradictions & likely errors For eg 14 on list are also roadmap "supporters" Read more➡️ www.carbonbrief.org/...

California just signed a new climate MOU with Colombia at #COP30. With this partnership, we're doubling down on the fight against climate change — collaborating on innovative solutions for methane reduction and clean energy.

Can Latin America finally present a united front for COP30?

As the UN climate summit returns to the region, we look back at decades of leadership from its nations at the talks – and also fragmentation
