No words on " Phase out or Phase Down
Putting pressure on Negotiators
Par JULIEN G. – Le samedi 13 novembre 2021, la COP26 a adopté un "pacte de Glasgow" destiné à accélérer la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique, mais sans assurer de le contenir à 1,5°C ni répondre aux demandes d'aide des pays pauvres. La Cop 26 restera aussi comme un Davos bis avec ses 400 atterrissages de jets privés avec une présence américaine frappante.
The Big Oil Reality Check report finds that the climate pledges and plans of 8 international oil and gas companies fail to align with international agreements to phase out fossil fuels and to limit global temperature rise to 1.5ºC.
Publication May 2021
IEA publication, May 2024
Critical minerals, which are essential for a range of clean energy technologies, have risen up the policy agenda in recent years due to increasing demand, volatile price movements, supply chain bottlenecks and geopolitical concerns. The dynamic nature of the market necessitates greater transparency and reliable information to facilitate informed decision-making, as underscored by the request from Group of Seven (G7) ministers for the IEA to produce medium- and long-term outlooks for critical minerals.
The Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2024 follows the IEA’s inaugural review of the market last year. It provides a snapshot of industry developments in 2023 and early 2024 and offers medium- and long-term outlooks for the demand and supply of key energy transition minerals based on the latest technology and policy trends.
The report also assesses key risks to the reliability, sustainability and diversity of critical mineral supply chains and analyses the consequences for policy and industry stakeholders. It will be accompanied by an updated version of the Critical Minerals Data Explorer, an interactive online tool that allows users to explore the latest IEA projections.

Global projections of macroeconomic climate-change damages typically consider
impacts from average annual and national temperatures over long time horizons1–6
.
Here we use recent empirical fndings from more than 1,600 regions worldwide over
the past 40 years to project sub-national damages from temperature and precipitation,
including daily variability and extremes7,8
. Using an empirical approach that provides
a robust lower bound on the persistence of impacts on economic growth, we fnd that
the world economy is committed to an income reduction of 19% within the next
26 years independent of future emission choices (relative to a baseline without
climate impacts, likely range of 11–29% accounting for physical climate and empirical
uncertainty). These damages already outweigh the mitigation costs required to limit
global warming to 2 °C by sixfold over this near-term time frame and thereafter diverge
strongly dependent on emission choices. Committed damages arise predominantly
through changes in average temperature, but accounting for further climatic
components raises estimates by approximately 50% and leads to stronger regional
heterogeneity. Committed losses are projected for all regions except those at very
high latitudes, at which reductions in temperature variability bring benefts. The
largest losses are committed at lower latitudes in regions with lower cumulative
historical emissions and lower present-day income.
Science Publication: The atlas of unburnable oil for supply-side climate poli...Energy for One World
Nature Communication, Publication 2024
To limit the increase in global mean temperature to 1.5 °C, CO2 emissions must
be drastically reduced. Accordingly, approximately 97%, 81%, and 71% of
existing coal and conventional gas and oil resources, respectively, need to
remain unburned. This article develops an integrated spatial assessment
model based on estimates and locations of conventional oil resources and
socio-environmental criteria to construct a global atlas of unburnable oil. The
results show that biodiversity hotspots, richness centres of endemic species,
natural protected areas, urban areas, and the territories of Indigenous Peoples
in voluntary isolation coincide with 609 gigabarrels (Gbbl) of conventional oil
resources. Since 1524 Gbbl of conventional oil resources are required to be left
untapped in order to keep global warming under 1.5 °C, all of the above-
mentioned socio-environmentally sensitive areas can be kept entirely off-
limits to oil extraction. The model provides spatial guidelines to select
unburnable fossil fuels resources while enhancing collateral socio-
environmental benefits.

ANNEX
Solidarity and Just Transition Silesia Declaration
We, the Heads of State and Government,
Emphasizing that climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and a common
concern of humankind and that Parties to the Paris Agreement recognized the need for an effective
and progressive response to the urgent threat of climate change on the basis of the best available
scientific knowledge;
Stressing that addressing climate change requires a paradigm shift towards building a low
greenhouse gas emission and climate resilient economies and societies for all that offers substantial
opportunities and ensures continued high growth and sustainable development, while ensuring a just
transition of the workforce that creates decent work and quality jobs;
Reaffirming that Parties to the Paris Agreement on climate change are taking into account the
imperatives of a just transition of the workforce and the creation of decent work and quality jobs, in
accordance with nationally defined development priorities, and also reaffirming that the Paris
Agreement emphasizes the intrinsic relationship that climate change actions, responses and impacts
have with equitable access to sustainable development and eradication of poverty;
Recognizing the specific needs and special circumstances of developing countries, especially those
that are particularly vulnerable to the to the adverse effects of climate change and that natural
disasters and other exogenous shocks, exacerbated by climate change, bring devastating effects to
vulnerable workers and people living in poverty with limited savings and no social safety net,
increasing the challenges of and the obstacles to just transition, especially for countries
characterized by fragile environmental conditions and least developed countries;
Also recognizing that circumstances of economic sectors, cities and regions that are most likely to
be affected by the transition vary from country to country depending on their level of development;
4. 14545/1/18 REV 1 PL/bsl 4
ANNEX TREE.1.B EN
Taking note of the importance of the International Labour Organization’s “Guidelines for a just
transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all”, and its
considerations, as appropriate, by Parties while fulfilling their commitments under the Paris
Agreement on climate change;
Highlighting that the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as well as its
Sustainable Development Goals confirm the need to tackle environmental, social and economic
problems in a coherent and integrated manner:
6. Stress that just transition of the workforce and the creation of decent work and quality jobs are
crucial to ensure an effective and inclusive transition to low greenhouse gas emission and
climate resilient development, and to enhance the public support for achieving the-long term
goals of the Paris Agreement;
7. Emphasize that development measures to make infrastructure climate-resilient and enhance
institutional capacity in this respect have the potential to be a source of decent jobs creation
for both women and men while improving resilience, especially in vulnerable countries;
8. Underline employment opportunities that the transition to low-greenhouse gas emission and
climate resilient economies have already created and the potential for the creation of a
number of additional jobs as a result of increased global ambition;
9. Recognize the challenges faced by sectors, cities and regions in transition from fossil fuels and
high emitting industries, and the importance to ensure a decent future for workers impacted by
the transition, while working to ensure sustainable development and community renewal;
10. Note the importance of a participatory and representative process of social dialogue involving
all social partners to promote high employment rates, adequate social protection, labour
standards and wellbeing of workers and their communities, when developing nationally
determined contributions, long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies and
adaptation planning processes;
