What must be clear from this year’s discussions:
#FossilFuels, #CarbonMarkets & #MarineGeoengineering are incompatible with a healthy ocean!
Stopping offshore oil & gas expansion & phasing out existing production are the 2 most powerful ocean-based mitigation actions available.

The #BlueCarbon framing that permeates the Dialogue is a very limited way to understand complex & vital ocean ecosystems. Narrow definitions risk driving the exploitation of oceans for commercial purposes rather than their protection, particularly when linked to #CarbonMarkets.

BioGeoBryceThe EU's #CBAM came into force in January, with the intent of reducing #CarbonLeakage.....Good timing!
But, considering that fuel costs are now globally higher (I.e. not just in traditionally carbon intensive regions), CBAM could be seen simply as a revenue-generating tool for renewables. Is there any indication that it could develop in this way?

Integrity, transparency, accountability and inclusivity
After the finalization of the rulebook on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement at COP29 in Baku, international negotiations have shifted from the development of rules towards providing further guidance on implementation. Integrity, transparency, accountability and inclusivity were key areas addressed in decisions on Article 6.4 and Article 6.2. A further milestone was the closure of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) which will cease its operations in a staged approach over the next two years.
