New UN Report @UNEP
World set to cross 1.5°C global warming, but options to limit, adapt to and return from higher temperatures exist. The report covers implications of temperature overshoot of 1.5°C, for our responses, adapt and manage this new normal. Some key messages /1

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets.
Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.
Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

The fossil fuel age is flailing & failing.
We're at the dawn of a new & clean energy era.
An era where cheap, abundant, renewable energy powers a world rich in economic opportunity.
We have the tools to power the future for humanity.
This is our moment of opportunity.

NEW – Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time | @laurimyllyvirta
Read here: buff.ly/6eAcjRU
ALT Line chart – China's CO2 emissions are now 1% below their March 2024 peak: China’s emissions from fossil fuels and cement, million tonnes of CO2, rolling 12-month totals. Source: Emissions are estimated from National Bureau of Statistics data on production of different fuels and cement, China Customs data on imports and exports and WIND Information data on changes in inventories, applying emissions factors from China’s latest national greenhouse gas emissions inventory and annual emissions factors per tonne of cement production until 2024. Sector breakdown of coal consumption is estimated using coal consumption data from WIND Information and electricity data from the National Energy Administration.

Ex CEO of @Allianz Investment Management explains how #climate = end of insurance as we know it...
'we are fast approaching temperature levels—1.5°C, 2°C, 3°C—where insurers will no longer be able to offer coverage for many of these risks'

Blunt from @SwissRe. If you want to tackle #climate, take the transition seriously.
'Mitigating climate change requires the global real economy to transform. That’s one of the reasons why Swiss Re supports clients in the transition to a net-zero economy'

A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Korea stops blocking. @President_KR, @mofa_kr, Korea must join with other countries and agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: tinyurl.com/328knjeh

🌿@CleanPowerSue, Climate Finance Advisor to @CFigueres, explains how investors can shift finance from activities that harm nature – in particular through ending #deforestation⤵️
Tools like Finance Sector Roadmap, Forest IQ & DEFT Pathway can guide change.

Today we see runaway conflicts & climate change.
Runaway inequalities & debt.
Runaway development of new technologies without guardrails.
The upcoming Summit of the Future is a step towards global mechanisms to address these issues in an effective, networked & inclusive way.

I was deeply moved by my meeting with coastal communities in Samoa forced to move their homes inland.
Sea levels are rising at a rate not seen in at least 3,000 years.
If we don’t reverse these climate change trends, we will see this tragedy in other coastal areas globally.

California has achieved what many thought impossible.
Since March, solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower have generated 100%+ of the state's electricity demand nearly every day. A thriving economy can indeed run on clean energy! 👏 bit.ly/45QCYCr
