Dear friends, The most powerful energy agency just said the world must scrap
all new coal, oil and gas projects if we want to limit global heating to
1.5˚C and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. This is HUGE! The special report
will inform global climate negotiations in Glasgow and could become pivotal
to shift trillions away from polluting fossil fuels into clean energy
solutions -- but powerful fossil fuel leaders will try hard to keep it a
meager one-off and delay action! Let’s ensure it doesn’t. Right now, the IEA
chief is in the midst of a huge juggling act: navigating the interests of
governments and industry while trying to be a green recovery leader. Let’s
ensure our voices echo the loudest. Retweet Avaaz's message here, then write
your message -- let’s tell Fatih Birol to make today’s report into a turning
point for the IEA and align all its reporting with 1.5˚C going forward!

Dear friends,
The most powerful energy agency just said

This is HUGE!

fossil fuel leaders will try hard to keep it a meager one-off and delay

Right now, the IEA chief is in the midst of
a huge juggling act: navigating the interests of governments and industry

Tips to write your tweet:
a.. 1.5˚C is possible and better for the
world - Let’s celebrate the IEA’s ambition and highlight this report’s
conclusion: to reach 1.5˚C in time, we can have NO new investments in oil,
coal or gas. It empowers leaders to keep temperature rise below 1.5˚C,
critically important for a future safe from drought, floods, extreme heat
and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.
b.. Make this the IEA’s legendary turning
point - This 1.5˚C aligned NZ2050 report is a "special" report -- but
leaders and investors use the IEA's yearly World Energy Outlook (WEO) as the
basis for their policies and investments. The IEA must align all its
reports, including the WEO, with 1.5˚C going forward. It’s the #WEO2021 that
counts!
c.. Work remains to be done - This is only
the start of needed reform. The IEA must fix modelling assumptions that
continue to undersell solar and wind compared to unproven solutions like
carbon capture and storage, and bioenergy that put at risk our ecosystems
and food supply. Let’s look at other ways to meet 1.5˚C!
Use your own words, and don't forget to use
Birol's and the agency’s Twitter handles: @fbirol and @IEA. You can also add
the handles of the UK leaders who've requested this report: @BorisJohnson
and @AlokSharma_RDG. Don’t forget hashtags #WEO2021, #WEO21, FixtheWEO and
#NZ2050
