EPIC resolutions<p>National climate plans are crucial documents that describe how a country intends to achieve its climate goals. The Dutch government has published its draft Climate Plan 2025-2035 for public consultation. To understand the role of individuals in the climate plan, we systematically reviewed how it addresses individual climate actions and behaviour change. 👉 Here are our lessons learned: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-analyse-national-climate-plans-individual-action-behaviour-dkvpf/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">linkedin.com/pulse/how-analyse</span><span class="invisible">-national-climate-plans-individual-action-behaviour-dkvpf/</span></a>. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climategoals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climategoals</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateplan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climateplan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climateaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climateaction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/participation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>participation</span></a></p>

In the past decade, fossil fuel companies have spent $1.25 billion on federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lobbying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lobbying</span></a> and more than $650 million on campaign contributions, according to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenSecrets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSecrets</span></a> data. </p><p>"The Conservative-led U.K. government issued a surge of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthSea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthSea</span></a> licenses in the first half of this year, but lost power to the Labour Party following a general election earlier this month. It's not yet clear if Labour will be able or willing to rescind licenses already issued. Currently the U.K. is set to finish 2024 with 72 licenses for projects that would create 101 million metric tons of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenhouseGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GreenhouseGas</span></a> emissions over their lifetimes—a 50-year high, according to the IISD analysis. Norway and Australia are also seeing major upticks this year. </p><p>"Capital expenditure at the world's largest oil companies is up 60% since 2020, with $302 billion projected to be spent on well development this year, The Guardian reported. The fossil fuel expansion continues even though the reserves in rich countries are generally hard to reach, as more accessible reserves have already been tapped.</p><p>"The expansion also comes in spite of disturbing climate news—2023 was hottest year on record, June was the 13th consecutive hottest month, and Monday was the hottest day, having broken a record set the previous day—and dire warnings from leading international institutions. No new fossil fuel projects can proceed if the world is to meet the 1.5° Paris agreement target, the International Energy Agency declared in 2021."</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/wealthy-countries-oil-gas-production" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/wealthy-</span><span class="invisible">countries-oil-gas-production</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigOilAndGas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PetroState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PetroState</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Colonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RenewablesNow</span></a></p>
