…“That kind of space I haven’t seen in my 10-year history with the UNFCCC.”
— Juan Carlos Monterrey Gómez of Panama.

Reporter, Daisy, adds that

“All of the sessions were held under the Chatham House rule, meaning discussions were not attributable to individual speakers to encourage more open debate.”

It’s been a fortnight since the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels finished on 29 April, and I had forgotten to check in on how it developed after the 26th.

So my thanks to Daisy Dunne of #carbonBrief for writing up a report

Vacancy: Three-week summer journalism internship at Carbon Brief - Carbon Brief

Carbon Brief is offering an exciting opportunity for students, or recent graduates, to work with the team for three weeks this summer.

Carbon Brief

Erstmals seit 1973 ist 2025 die #Kohlestrom-Erzeugung in #China und #Indien gesunken.

Laut Analyse von #CarbonBrief ging sie in China um 1,6 Prozent, in Indien um drei Prozent zurück. Gleichzeitig wuchs der Ausbau von #Solar- und #Windkraft deutlich.

Da beide Länder zuletzt den Großteil des globalen Emissionsanstiegs prägten, könnte dies den #CO2-Peak näherbringen. Entscheidend bleibt, ob der Trend trotz neuer #Kohlekraftwerke anhält.

China und Indien produzieren erstmals seit 1973 weniger Kohlestrom

Der Rückgang der Kohlestrom-Erzeugung könnte den globalen CO2-Peak einleiten. Doch es gibt auch Gegenkräfte in beiden Ländern.

#today the #equinox/equilux is nearly here! Some think the engineering of #Stonehenge and #Mnajdra are fancy, but roll over, because I get blinded by direct sun while sitting up in bed only at about this time of year and for the autumn equinox / #equilux too!

I will be in at uni today then captaining a team this evening for the #CBQuiz

Laut einem Artikel bei #CarbonBrief sind Chinas CO2-Emissionen nun relativ sicher über den Peak. Das sind wirklich gute Nachrichten für die #Energiewende. Und sie zeigen noch einmal, wie realitätsfremd sich Europas Politik gerade verhält. So werden wir den Anschluss verlieren. https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chinas-co2-emissions-have-now-been-flat-or-falling-for-21-months/

Analysis: China’s CO2 emissions have now been ‘flat or falling’ for 21 months - Carbon Brief

China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fell by 1% in the final quarter of 2025, likely securing a decline of 0.3% for the full year as a whole.

Amid this news madness, I've thoroughly enjoyed being subscribed to the daily #CarbonBrief. Instead of compulsing the news, I try [and often fail] to focus on the most insightful items in my news feeds. This analysis of the latest UK auction for #WindPower was excellent:

I especially enjoy the daily summary of the Chinese-language news, which rarely get reported in western media. China is where most of the #ClimateChange action is these days.

Zeke Hausfather: "The recent #DOE #climatescience report misrepresents the work of many researchers. #CarbonBrief asked those cited to review the parts of the report where their work was used, and we collectively found 100+ misleading or false statements"
