This image is in two parts. On the left-hand side, a woman in a blazer stands smiling in front of a mirror-fronted building that displays a European Union flag. On the right-hand side is a quote from her: "Separate targets for emission reductions, permanent carbon removal, and LULUCF [land use, land-use change and forestry] are key to climate integrity. There's still time for the EU's 2040 target to get this right". Below the quote is her name and affiliation: Dr Alice Evatt, Oxford Net Zero Research Fellow.

Last week @ec.europa.eu proposed an EU climate target for 2040: reduce the EU's net GHG emissions by 90% relative to 1990. As our Fellow Dr Alice Evatt points out, the proposal needs separate targets for specific actions if it is to have real impact. Read more: buff.ly/AyIL7bk

Delivering Geological Net Zero • After 2050, you can't sell stuff that causes global warming. • So, if you're selling stuff that is causing global warming today, you have 25 years to fix it - by capturing and permanently storing one tonne of carbon dioxide for every tonne generated by your activities and the products you sell. • And no pinkie promises just to stop selling that stuff in 2049.

Myles Allen with a straight forward message: To stop climate change, companies must stop selling stuff that cause global warming. @gsiexeter.bsky.social
