Net Zero Failure: IEA – International Energy Agency: ‘Global coal demand to reach a new all-time high in 2024’ – ‘Global consumption of coal has doubled in past 3 decades’ – China, India & Indonesia are largest producers: – China ‘accounts for half of global coal production’

IEA report: In 2024, global coal production is expected to reach an all-time high, surpassing 9 Bt for the first time. The three largest producers – China, India and Indonesia – reached new records for output. China, which accounts for half of global production, is set to see output grow by 1% in 2024, despite declines in the first half of this year amid a safety campaign in Shanxi, the largest producing province. In India, the government is incentivising production from public companies, mainly Coal India, as well as captive and commercial producers. As a result, output is set to rise by over 7%. Indonesian producers, which benefited from strong domestic coal demand and sustained demand from international markets, are expected to surpass 800 Mt for the first time.

COP FLOP: ‘Woefully inadequate’: activists slam COP29 UN climate finance deal – ‘A death sentence for the millions on the climate front lines’ & ‘The world is still on course for runaway collapse’

A report produced for the UN talks by economic experts concluded that developing countries outside China would need $2.4 trillion a year by 2030 – a four-fold increase in total global climate investments. It proposed that around $1 trillion a year would come from domestic budgets, with the rest raised by a combination of public and private finance. This could include novel global forms of taxation, such as on financial transactions, extreme wealth, and frequent flying. Countries also disagreed over who should contribute. The donor base for the $100 billion comprises the 24 countries who were members of the OECD in 1992 when the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was signed.

Developed countries such as the US and EU argued that countries that have since become wealthier and emit high levels of greenhouse gases such as China and Saudi Arabia should now pay into the new fund. The final agreed text calls for “all actors” to scale up funds from “all public and private sources”, and leaves an option for voluntary donations from other countries that have not previously donated.

Jasper Inventor, head of the COP29 Greenpeace delegation, called the agreement “woefully inadequate”, adding that it was “overshadowed by the level of despair and scale of action needed”.

WaterAid described the deal as a “death sentence for millions” and labelled the sum a “mere fraction”.

Lesley Pories, lead policy analyst for water, sanitation and hygiene finance at WaterAid, said: “Failure to deliver on its most anticipated financial commitment at the so-called ‘finance COP’ is nothing less than a death sentence for the millions on the climate front lines.” “The clue is in the name. Next year countries will try for the 30th time. What is clear is the era of oil and gas must end: fast, fairly and forever.”

Just Stop Oil called for people to “get off our screens and on to the streets”, adding: “Twenty-nine COPs with the fossil fuel lobby at the helm, and the world is still on course for runaway collapse.”

Extinction Rebellion also slammed the summit. “The clue is in the name. Next year countries will try for the 30th time. What is clear is the era of oil and gas must end: fast, fairly and forever.”
