To carry credibility the EU must take a break with the US on this issue.The EU parliament must pass a resolution condemning the US withdrawal. And come to COP30 with a credible strategy of meeting developing country concerns, not preaching abstinence and sacrifice to the poor.

But in the absence of any overt and strong condemnation of the US move, what does EU persisting with the JETP agenda mean? Will it not be tantamount to pressuring emerging economies to fill in for what the US is failing to do?.

Are we to really believe that Germany can pick up the slack of the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement? In any case, the US role even earlier was to promote private investment in the JETP, which perhaps Germany can continue.

Why would countries in the JETP undertake ambitious reductions when the US will continue to spew GHGs into the atmosphere? Especially when ambitious reductions come at a cost. .

The DOE letter is also VERY, VERY LATE!!! BY A FEW DECADES!!.
I'm currently on vacation, but I must pop in to say: the DOE letter calling increased LNG exports “neither sustainable nor advisable" is a VERY, VERY BIG DEAL. This is the first time a Dem administration has come out against expanding a fossil fuel. 🧵.

An excellent, well argued piece from my friend Dr. Gunther Bensch at @RWI_Leibniz_en and colleagues. Especially timely after the enthusiasm over Art 6.2 and Art 6.4 trading after COP29@Baku -- warning that it does not work out so simply for Sub-Saharan Africa. Important caution.
International climate policy must not push Africa towards carbon taxation - we argue in this Nature CC comment. Carbon taxation certainly doesn't curb current emissions, it's unlikely to curb future emissions - but it almost certainly hurts the poor.
