At its 63rd session, the IPCC adopted a working plan for 2026 and an outline for the CDR special report. However, there was no compromise on when the working groups’ reports should be available in 2028. This could mean a lack of data for the 2028 GST.

Once again, Bavaria wanted to be better, faster and further ahead than the rest of the country — and achieve net zero emissions by 2040. But it never really had a plan and that is why it has failed. Now, the pioneers can be found elsewhere.

The climate crisis is losing importance in politics, business and the public interest. However, the consequences of global warming are being hotly debated by the military and security advisors. In the USA and at COP30, on the other hand, the issue is being suppressed.
