"Global #emissions will peak this decade, putting the world on course for a 2.6°C global average temperature rise by 2100.

[If #NDC targets are met], this increase could be limited to 2.3°C, and following through on mid-century decarbonisation commitments could further reduce it to 1.8°C.

To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, the world needs to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 56% compared with 2022 levels by 2035, building up to a 90% reduction by 2050."

"President Biden issued a call to action for states, local and tribal governments to keep stepping up if there is lack of support from the next administration.

The new targets provide a blueprint for action at state, local, and corporate levels and, as explained in the White House Fact Sheet, the Inflation Reduction Act has provided substantial support to implement those actions."

#Canada sets modest #NDC target: 45-50% emissions cut by 2035, while fossil fuel production continues

"Although this is a positive development, its heavy reliance on fossil fuels that accounted for 76 per cent of the total energy supply in 2023 is a big question for the country to address. "

Money. Mouth.

"The #AmazonFund is one of the most well-known financial mechanisms for supporting efforts to reduce emissions from #deforestation and degradation, with more than 100 projects in its portfolio. Last year, the fund committed R$1.3 billion (US$226.3m) for such projects."

Eco-Business · COP29: Five key takeaways from Brazil’s 2035 climate pledgeBy Orla Dwyer, Yanine Quiroz, Giuliana Viglione

Forests can't be used in NDC (nationally determined contribution).Forests are in adaptation mode, that is, death by drought, bugs, fires, until new ecosystem members have moved in long after °C is stabilized.
Trees adapt to longer growth seasons, higher temperatures, over-fertilisation by CO2. This means less water and nutrients and makes them unhealthy.

Trees only park our CO2, then they burn.

#Koutsodendris et al 2020 counted pollen at Lake Ohrid, Albania.
Look at the gap between rising °C 🟡 vs rising pollen count for temperate/mesophilus trees 🟤 🟢.

Adapting to a new climate takes time, even with seed-carriers and migration corridors: 1000yrs until new ecosystem members have moved in and adaptation to a new stable climate is accomplished.

But we don't have migration corridors. We have settlements and agricultural wastelands with pesticides everywhere.

Also, sinks start outgassing once ppm drops. So if your #NDC include negative emissions by DACS or CCS to undo a temperature #overshoot, to really remove 1t CO2 from the system, you must remove 1.5t once we're in the negative emissions phase.

Outgassing is a physical process to balance changes in atmosphere composition. But of course, when ppm drops considerably, it also changes °C and regional climate and hydrological cycles – again. So your ecosystem is going into adaptation mode all over again. Forests burn.. again.

Overshoot scenarios aren't a good idea, even if we had working technology and concepts. CO2 removal adds another stressful phase and prolongs adaptation to changing factors – for us and our human systems, and for ecosystems on land and in the ocean.

At #COP29, Azerbaijan had also been expected to announce a new national climate plan – known as a nationally determined contribution (#NDC) – but it has yet to do so.

#Azerbaijan started a diplomatic spat with the EU

Meanwhile, Progress on COP29’s headline outcome – the new post-2025 climate finance goal (the NCQG) – continues to be incredibly slow."
