"The latest draft of the Paris Agreement is an important step forward. Countries worldwide are acting on climate change. This agreement will mark the end of the fossil fuel era and the dawn of the renewable energy era. The momentum towards a 100% renewable energy future is unstoppable."
Today’s first place Fossil of the Day Award goes to...the EU and Umbrella Group countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Kazakhstan, Norway, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the USA). They take the prize for standing in the way of increasing ambition before 2020. If they shifted on their position, LMDCs would have to deliver on their promise to allow an opportunity to revisit all INDCs (with support) before 2020. Together these actions could help get us on track to keep warming below 2C degrees, and ideally 1.5C.
