*[Enwl-eng] [can-eecca] Fossil fuel Production Gap report justreleased - help spread the word!
ENWLine
Our friends at the Stockholm Environment Institute, supported by UNEP and other research organisations, today released the first-ever fossil fuel "Production Gap" report, live now at http://productiongap.org.
It further underlines the urgent need for governments to manage the phase-out of fossil fuel production and address extraction alongside demand in international negotiations: countries are on target to extract 120% more oil, gas and coal in 2030 than is compatible with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
SEI has provided a comms pack here to make it easy to spread the word and amplify. See below for key messages, sample tweets, and graphics as well.
Key messages:
- Governments are planning to produce about 50% more fossil fuels by 2030 than would be consistent with a 2°C pathway and 120% more than would be consistent with a 1.5°C pathway.
- These planned levels of fossil fuel production are also inconsistent with the collective climate pledges under the Paris Agreement. As a consequence, the global production gap is even larger than the already-significant global emissions gap.
- The continued expansion of fossil fuel production – and the widening of the global production gap – is underpinned by a combination of ambitious national plans, government subsidies to producers, and other forms of public finance.
- Several governments have already adopted policies to restrict fossil fuel production, providing momentum and important lessons for broader adoption.
- International cooperation plays a central role in winding down fossil fuel production.
Suggested Tweets:
NEW #ProductionGap report shows that in 2030, countries are planning to extract
⚫️6 billion tonnes of unburnable coal
🛢️15 billion barrels of unburnable oil
🔥2,000 billion cubic meters of unburnable gas
that will take us beyond 1.5°C.

BREAKING: Despite #ParisAgreement climate pledges, countries are planning to produce 120% more #fossilfuels in 2030 than consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
This global #ProductionGap has been left unquantified, until now.

OUT NOW: New report from @UNEP @SEIresearch @CICERO_klima @CA_Latest @IISDRS @ODIdev shows that countries are planning to increase fossil fuel supply, creating a #ProductionGap that's inconsistent with #ParisAgreement.

Summary: The Production Gap Report, produced together
by SEI, IISD, ODI, CICERO, Climate Analytics, and UNEP with contributions by
over fifty researchers, highlights the concerning gap between Paris goals and
countries’ plans for fossil fuel production and ways to close it. The report
reviews across 10 fossil-fuel-producing countries – the US, Canada, Russia,
Australia, Norway, the UK, Germany, China, India, and Indonesia -- the policies
and actions that expand fossil fuel production and, in turn, widen the gap. It
also provides policy options that can help countries better align production
with climate goals. This is especially relevant over the next year, as countries
prepare new or updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs), which set out
their new emission reduction plans and climate pledges under the Paris
Agreement.
