Adherence to multilateralism is not genuflection to a moral principle but necessitated by the inherent and irreducibly global nature of the global warming challenge. With @tjayaraman

Very well said indeed.
A quick note to help journalists take a more considered view on Trump and Climate Change negotiations and politics: . While plenty will be written on incoming US President Trump's impact on #ClimateChange agreement and negotiations. A few things to remember. Like most other.

Advocacy for carbon markets by CSE. Equity and justice seem to have fallen by the wayside in the pursuit of aggressive pursuit of decarbonisation, even for sectors such as the MSME which struggle to improve factor productivity at lower scales.
@CSEINDIA makes a surprising turn towards cheer-leading for carbon markets in India, moving away from its well-known stance of caution on market-driven approaches. Here is a quick deconstruction of the most problematic aspects of this new turn. Based on the report:.

The INGO/CSO climate crowd has long distanced itself from "equity". Even when we presented our work on equitable access to the global carbon budget in 2009!, there was pushback. Reason: pragmatism (i.e. likely rejection by the global North). 15 yrs later on scenarios. ๐๐ฝ.
Spoke about inequitable IPCC AR6 scenarios and our alternate framework for equitable futures in Delhi today. Curious reactions. Immediate pushback from a CSO/MI personality in the room pooh poohing the framework as not fitting the "real world" of negotiations.

A new scenario framework for equitable and climate-compatible futures is now published and can be accessed at We demonstrate a modelling approach and scenario framework for global burden-sharing, that foregrounds questions of climate and energy justice.
1/n Pre-print: proposal and demonstration of a new modeling framework. A departure from the IAM-SSP framework. Quantitative assessments for climate-compatible futures are possible without assuming that these can and/or will only be modeled using IAMs

4/4 With more countries and scholars from the global South joining the call to overhaul the current state of modelling and scenario building, let us hope we see significant change in the current IPCC cycle.

3/4 We show that the distribution of effort across regions is significantly different in scenarios with climate equity and energy convergence vs. those with climate inequity and no energy convergence. Effort is defined as the degree of GDP-energy and energy-emissions decoupling.

2/4 The statement also calls for convergence in development indicators, including energy. In this pre-print (currently under review), we project such a convergence and estimate necessary climate action from countries at different levels of development
