New study in Nature Comms: Over-reliance on land for carbon dioxide removal in net-zero climate pledges

"We show that countries’ climate pledges require approximately 1 billion ha of land for removals. For over 40% of this area, the pledges envisage the conversion of existing land uses to forests."

Over-reliance on land for carbon dioxide removal in net-zero climate pledges - Nature Communications

Achieving net-zero climate targets requires substantial land for carbon dioxide removal. This paper quantifies the land area in countries’ climate pledges at approximately 1 billion hectares, often involving the conversion of existing land uses to forests.

‘No evidence’ Big Oil is serious on climate, report finds

Oil Change International graded the plans of eight major oil corporations and found all of them are failing to meet their much-publicized climate pledges — with American firms receiving "worst of the worst" reviews.

“What far too few leaders seem to grasp (prefer not to grasp?) is that every delay means an ever-steepening challenge. Canada has the widest emissions gap among the countries UNEP surveyed — a 27 per cent gap between policies in place and international commitments. The U.S. logs the next widest at 19 per cent.” #climatechange #energytransition #climatecrisis #climatejustice #climatepolicy #climatepledges https://www.nationalobserver.com/newsletters/zero-carbon/2023/11/24/2-days-above-2-degrees

The world is facing a “pivotal moment” in the #ClimateCrisis, #KamalaHarris has told the #Cop28 summit after the #US vowed to phase out #CoalPlants and slash #methane emissions, but also came under attack for meagre assistance to developing countries and for its own booming #oil and #gas extraction industry.

No wonder! Amid #ClimateChange induced record breaking temperatures as well as after a year of record profits, #BigOil is taking back its #ClimatePledges, attempting to delay #ClimateAction even more.

To be clear, #FossilFuel companies never had the intention to give up its business model in the first place.

All its voluntary climate pledges are just an attempt to avoid being regulated, i.e. #Greenwashing.

Big oil quietly walks back on climate pledges as global heat records tumble

Energy firms have made record profits by increasing production of oil and gas, far from their promises of rolling back emissions

Business as usual.

' But Dan Cohn, global energy transition researcher at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, said that the oil industry’s climate plans should not be taken at “face value”.

“They have left no doubt that their pledges were deployed for cynical political purposes, only to be ditched when they no longer suited the industry’s strategic position,” he said.” '
