One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters highlighting why the newly-announced Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Charter sets a dangerous distraction from the #Cop28 process. #NoMoreGreenwashing

We’ve got an important message to get out there today OMBLES and there is a great prize to be won for the winning submission!

Over the past week, COP28 has seen world leaders meeting to address the climate crisis, such as limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, helping vulnerable communities adapt to the effects of climate change, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

However, the Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Charter has largely been a greenwashing exercise by the COP President and industry to make it look like they're getting on board for the energy transition and fossil fuel phase out. In reality, the Charter isn't Paris Agreement or 1.5 aligned, it allows companies to set their own net zero targets which they're not held to account to achieve, it repackages existing agreements and pledges, and worst of all - it claims to boldly tackle fossil fuels by excluding 80-95% of the industry's total emissions.
That’s why we’re teaming up with the OMBLES to highlight this greenwashing today and show that more needs to be done!

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters highlighting why the newly-announced Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Charter, which recycles existing pledges, allows Big Oil to set targets they're not accountable for, and excludes 80-95% of industry's total emissions, is a dangerous distraction from the #Cop28 process.

What Is Greenwashing?

Greenwashing is the process of conveying a false impression or misleading information about how a company’s products are environmentally sound. Greenwashing involves making an unsubstantiated claim to deceive consumers into believing that a company’s products are environmentally friendly or have a greater positive environmental impact than they actually do.



● 50 oil and gas companies signed up to the Global Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) at COP28 in Dubai, including 29 Nationally Owned Companies.

● Under the initiative, the companies pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Although it is voluntary and broadly repeats previous pledges made in 2021.

● The agreement sets targets for reducing carbon dioxide and methane emissions, but does not affect oil and gas production or emissions from consumption.



How the charter falls short

The Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter made several pledges related to reducingemissions and investing in energy systems. However, these fall short of what is needed to reach the Paris Agreement goals of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C.

Pledge 1: Reducing emissions

Charter signatories claim to support the Paris Agreement goals and the goal of reaching net zero by 2050.

● These goals set no short term targets, despite the IEA showing that Scope 1 and 2 emissions from oil and gas need to be reduced by 60% by 2030 to remain on track for global net zero emissions by 2050.

● The companies do not commit to cutting back oil and gas activities under the agreement. A report from United Nations experts recommended that oil and gas companies end production, expansion of reserves and exploration for new fields in order to reach net zero emissions. It concluded that “non-state actors cannot claim to be net-zero while continuing to build or invest in new fossil fuel supply”.

● For their goals to be meaningful, and not just pay lip service to the Paris Agreement, charter signatories must also align their lobbying efforts and leave associations that are opposed to Paris-aligned climate policies.



Pledge 2: Investment in energy systems

OGDC members pledged to invest in the energy system of the future.



● Without any quantifiable targets, this promise is too vague to be meaningful and needs to be accompanied by a phase-out date for oil and gas production.

● A new IEA report finds that the industry allocated just 2.5% of its capital expenditure to clean energy 2022 and that this will need to rise to 50% by 2030 in order to align with the Paris Agreement.



Pledge 3: Methane and flaring

Members pledged to achieve near zero methane emissions by 2030.

● Intensity targets do not guarantee overall reductions in emissions if production volumes are increasing. Instead, targets should be set for absolute methane emissions reductions, in line with the 75% reduction by 2030 called for in the IEA

● Previous initiatives, such as the Zero Routine Flaring Initiative launched by the World Bank in 2015, failed to reduce flaring. While flaring intensity has improved as a result of decoupling from oil production, total volumes of gas flaring have not materially declined since 2010. The industry’s own efforts have also not led to sufficient reduction in flaring.

About the Album:

‘What Happened To The Beach?’ is the follow up to Declan Mckenna’s acclaimed second album ‘Zeros’, which debuted at #2 in the UK album chart. The album was recorded in LA and produced by Gianluca Buccellati, best known for his work with Arlo Parks and Lana Del Ray. ‘What Happened To The Beach?’ is a record full of tone and colour, the majority of which was written with no ambition bigger than making people feel good. Musically, it’s a bit weirder and wonky, and the sound of a songwriter enjoying himself and gleefully defying expectations.

“My third album ‘What Happened To The Beach?’ is out 9th February.

My favourite third album yet.

In my top three albums I’ve ever made of all time.

…and I will be going on tour in the UK in 2024!
”
— Declan McKenna

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters with @RnfrstAlliance to celebrate their new campaign “We’re All In” whilst inspiring people to reject pessimism & join us in creating a better world.

Hey OMBLES, we at the Rainforest Alliance have an inspiring brief for you!  
You can probably tell from our name that we are really passionate about protecting rainforests and tropical forests. And the “alliance” part is in there too because we take a “we’re all in” approach—bringing together farmers, forest communities, companies, and millions of individuals worldwide to protect our most precious landscapes.

This is no simple task. Connected crises threaten our future—from the climate emergency and biodiversity loss to chronic rural poverty and human rights challenges.

  • Nearly half the Earth’s original forest cover has already disappeared

  • Agriculture drives 75% of deforestation, fueling climate change

  • 80% of those living in extreme poverty are in rural areas

2030 is commonly cited by experts as a potential “point of no return”—making this a critical decade for people and nature.

The good news is the Rainforest Alliance knows what needs to be done—and you are an important part of this change. We understand that for nature to thrive, communities must thrive. That’s why we promote regenerative agriculture, good forest management, human rights, and thriving rural livelihoods in the world’s most critically important natural landscapes.

We’re calling on our alliance to come together to create a world where people and nature thrive in harmony. For individuals, this includes taking small daily actions like sharing this message, buying products with the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal, and demanding better from companies and governments. Our call-to-action is a simple, yet powerful affirmation: We’re all in. 

SO, here’s the (brief) brief:

We all have that little voice in our head saying, “one person can’t make a difference.” But you’re not alone—you’re one of millions of people ready to take on the world’s most daunting challenges with hope and optimism. Join us and let’s make the change we want to see.

Pessimism is out. We’re all in.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters with international NGO @RnfrstAlliance to celebrate their new campaign “We’re All In.” whilst inspiring people to reject pessimism and join us in creating a better world.

Key points:

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create billboard-style posters for the @DianaAward to ‘Make a noise about bullying’ for #AntiBullyingWeek, 13-17 Nov. @AntiBullyingPro @ABAonline

The Diana Award Anti-Bullying Programme raises awareness of bullying behaviour and supports schools and young people to tackle it across the UK and beyond. To date, the charity has trained over 50,000 Anti-Bullying Ambassadors, made possible thanks to support from partners including Smiggle.

The Anti-Bullying Alliance – which includes The Diana Award – set up Anti-Bullying Week in 2002. This annual event is held in the third week of November and reaches around 7.5 million young people with 80% of schools taking part. The theme this year is ‘Make a noise about bullying’.

In partnership with activist agency Revolt, we’re asking the One Minute Briefs community to support the cause by making some noise!

About Anti-Bullying Week:

The theme of ‘Make A Noise About Bullying’ aims to empower young people, teachers and parents to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. Anti-Bullying Week will remind everyone, whether it’s in school, at home, in the community or online, that we can bring an end to bullying.

As usual, schools are able to download free teaching resources and themed assemblies. These focus on activities to encourage young people to consider what bullying means to us, how banter can turn into something more hurtful, and what we can do to stop bullying. 

Here is the Anti-Bullying Alliance’s message this year.

“Too often, we are silent when we see bullying take place, silent about the hurt bullying causes, and silent when we hear bullying dismissed as ‘just banter’.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

Of course, we won’t like everyone and we don’t always agree, but we can choose respect and unity.

This Anti-Bullying Week, let’s come together to have discussions about what bullying means to us, how banter can turn into something more hurtful, and what we can do to stop bullying. Together, we can make a difference and take a stand against bullying.

From the playground to Parliament, and from our phones to our homes, let’s make a noise about bullying.”

About School Bullying:

A recent survey of 2000 pupils and 2000 parents, commissioned by The Diana Award, revealed some concerning statistics about bullying at school:

  • 77% of students have been bullied.

  • Half of parents dread sending their children back to school due to bullying.

  • 89% of parents believe that schools can be an unsafe environment for children.

  • 42% of students polled said their school is not effective at stopping bullying.

  • Reassuringly, most children do feel they have support at home, as 72% feel comfortable enough to confide in their parents or carers if they were being bullied, and 54% of parents say their child told them themselves that they were a victim to bullying.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create billboard-style posters for The Diana Award to inspire people to ‘Make A Noise About Bullying’.

This #AntiBullyingWeek, which was set up by the Anti-Bullying Alliance, we want to focus on school bullying which affects 5 million children in the UK.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs, @DianaAward @AntiBullyingPro & @ABAonline with the hashtag #AntiBullyingWeek

Remember to add your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your entries.

Deadline: 6pm GMT, Tuesday 14th Nov.

Messaging:

Posters should include the line ‘Make a noise about bullying’, the hashtag #AntiBullyingWeek and The Diana Award logo. PLEASE AVOID IDEAS INVOLVING SUICIDE.

Prizes:

Winner: (judged by client The Diana Award and Creative Directors at Revolt) £150 voucher for partner brand Smiggle + a Diana Award tote bag and pin badges.

Shortlisted entries will be shared on social by The Diana Award, Anti-Bullying Alliance and Revolt.

About The Diana Award:

We’re proud to be the only charity set up in memory of the late Diana, Princess of Wales and her belief that young people have the power to change the world. Our mission is to empower young people to lead that change through a range of initiatives which unlock their potential, inspire action and create opportunities, ensuring that no young person is left out or left behind.

Our previous OMB winner is now a live ad!

In September we ran our first OMB for The Diana Award. The winning idea, by Ciaran McKeon and Maeve Jenkins, was designed by Revolt and is appearing on billboards around the UK during Anti-Bullying Week thanks to Alight Media donating space on their digital screens.

About Old El Paso

Mexican food is great for sharing and we’ve been sharing our great Mexican inspired food with the world since 1938 and because we've been cooking up sizzling fajitas, crunchy tacos and lots of other tasty dishes for such a long time now, we like to think we're pretty good at it and lots of you seem to agree. In fact, since we brought our products* over here in 1984, we’ve become the #1 Mexican food brand in the UK**... which makes us very proud!

The name Old El Paso is inspired by the city El Paso situated in Texas close to the Mexican border. El Paso is a very important entry from Mexico to the US for clothing and food and is often referred to as the “Mexican food capital of the world”. The earliest known culture in the region were the maize farmer which have come to form the Mexican food culture a lot as well.

Old El Paso™ brings consumers not only the taste, but the fun of getting together and sharing Mexican inspired food .

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to promote itsu's chocolate and salted caramel bao buns & let the public know when & where these delicious treats should be enjoyed #WOWsweetbao

We’re excited to be teaming up with the OMBLES today and see how creative they get with one of our favourite products, the sweet bao bun. We’re hoping for lots of fun, clever headlines, straplines and visuals that bring them to life in all sorts of imaginative ways that show when and where they can be enjoyed.

For example…you could serve them hot with ice cream or fruit; dust them [cappuccino style] with chocolate powder, or for the ultimate treat, plant a birthday candle dead centre.

Not everyone knows how this product fits into their life and why they would opt for a sweet bao over a more traditional dessert - chocolate cake etc... so we’re hoping the OMBLES will get creative with it and WOW us!!

Context:

We find ourselves at a critical juncture in human history, where the grim reality of climate change is impacting everyone. We witness the unravelling of ecosystems and habitats that have thrived for millennia, the devastation of extreme weather events on our communities, the economic toll of climate-induced disasters, and the haunting spectre of a compromised future for generations to come.    

But amidst this stark reality, there is hope and a call to action. We have the knowledge, the innovation, and the collective will to drive meaningful climate solutions. Business and government, those with the most power to drive change, must lead the charge. It is not just a moral imperative; it is an existential necessity. The time for action is now, and together, we can forge a path towards a resilient world for all. 

Scientists have been on the frontline of the battle against climate change for years, tirelessly conducting research, analysing data, and sounding the alarm on the urgent need for action. Their unwavering dedication and expertise have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of this global crisis and in driving the pursuit of innovative solutions. 

Watch the short video, 'Facing The New Reality,' crafted by Climate Group – our message of urgency has never been more vital, and we hope that you can use it to inspire your entry today.

About Climate Week:

Climate Week NYC is the largest annual climate event of its kind, bringing together some 400 events and activities across the City of New York – in person, hybrid and online. Each year, business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, gather to drive the transition, speed up progress, and champion change that is already happening.

Climate Week NYC is hosted by Climate Group, an international non-profit whose purpose is to drive climate action, fast. Climate Group hosts the official program during the week that brings together the most senior international figures from business, government, civil society and the climate sector.

This year Climate Week NYC will be held from September 17-24, 2023. The event takes place every year in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and is run in coordination with the United Nations and the City of New York.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create billboard-style posters for ‘The Diana Award’ to tell parents that bullying is a huge issue in online gaming. Winners to be featured on #WorldGamingDay 22/10/23

Gaming is perceived by parents as fairly safe for their kids. But the (virtual) reality is that 57% of gamers have been bullied online. With over 3 billion gamers worldwide, this is a tragic statistic. Most parents are unaware that the live chat element of gaming is rife with discrimination and abuse such as racism, sexism and homophobia.

The Diana Award is a charity that supports young people and one of its main focuses is Anti-Bullying. 50,000 students and educators in 5,000 schools have been trained as Anti-Bullying Ambassadors thanks to this programme.

Now, in partnership with activist agency Revolt, the charity wants to get people talking about bullying in gaming.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create billboard-style posters for ‘The Diana Award’ to tell parents that bullying is a huge issue in online gaming. Winners will be featured on #WorldGamingDay - 22nd October

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @AntiBullyingPro with the hashtag #AntiBullying

Remember to add your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your entries. Deadline: 6pm BST, Friday 15th Sept.

PRIZES:

Winner will receive Smiggle supplies & Diana Award goodies!!

Winning entries will be judged by The Diana Award and Creative Directors at Revolt with the opportunity to be featured on all The Diana Award channels & Live Billboard spaces on October 22nd.

Pointers:

No ideas involving suicide – there is no evidence to support a link between this and bullying or gaming. Avoid the term ‘cyberbullying’ – bullying is bullying, wherever it takes place.

About The Diana Award:

We’re proud to be the only charity set up in memory of the late Diana, Princess of Wales and her belief that young people have the power to change the world. Our mission is to empower young people to lead that change through a range of initiatives which unlock their potential, inspire action and create opportunities, ensuring that no young person is left out or left behind.

Our Current Campaign:

We recently launched a campaign called #BackToBullying, created by Revolt, including a stunt with a school uniform display in Westfield that stunned shoppers, and a back-to-school advert with a dark twist that got aired on BBC News.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to encourage people to support @MustardTreeMCR by donating Furniture, White Goods, Electronics & Clothing to help those living in poverty.

Today we are teaming up with our local neighbours, Mustard Tree, to help them get their important message out there and encourage donations to their incredible charity as part of Second Hand September.

We’re excited to see how the OMBLES encourage donations of the following products for this great cause:

  • Furniture

  • White goods

  • Electronics

  • Clothing

NOTE: It’s also important to clarify that we don’t show negative poverty imagery… i.e. black and white images of people sleeping rough etc.

More info on that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVWJlSMbt1I

We don’t want this campaign to be all doom and gloom. We want to focus on the positive impacts that these donations can bring to peoples’ lives!

The video below shows how important these donations are to help combat poverty.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to encourage people to support @MustardTreeMCR by donating Furniture, White Goods, Electronics & Clothing to help those living in poverty in the Greater Manchester Area.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @MustardTreeUK with the hashtag #SecondHandSeptember and link to mustardtree.org.uk/support-us

Be as creative as you like… and accompany it with impactful headlines if you wish.

Remember to add your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your entries! Deadline 6pm BST.

PRIZES:

WINNER: Set of Mustard Tree Merch

Shortlisted entries will be shared on Mustard Tree Socials.

Mustard Tree appeared on BBC Morning Live to share how important these donations can be.

“Hi, I’ve recently come out of homelessness with my children due to domestic violence and I am now living in temporary accommodation. I have just about managed to get a cooker, fridge and beds for my children but I’ve not had a bed for myself since I moved in 6 months ago. I’m currently sleeping on the floor and I was wondering if there was any help available””
— Quote Source

It’s a scenario you wouldn’t think exists in 2023, and yet, the above is just one of the many requests our support team receive on a weekly basis. Relaxing on the sofa when you get home from work, blasting yesterday’s leftovers in the microwave, washing your bedsheets every week. The routines we take for granted are out of range for many in Greater Manchester — due to living in furniture poverty.

Typically hidden, the concept of furniture poverty evades many — it is simply inconceivable in an age of surplus and ‘fast furniture’, hundreds of thousands of children across the UK go to sleep on the floor. The above video by BBC Morning Live illustrates this, with a feature of Mustard Tree on how we are helping to tackle the issue.

About Mustard Tree:

Vision

We believe in a Greater Manchester where everyone has the opportunity to be a connected, valued and contributing member of society.

Mission

We create opportunities for people to help themselves through providing practical support, friendship, connections into work, improvements to health and wellbeing plus new experiences to encourage aspiration.


Mustard Tree has developed a set of values that underpin all we do and how we work:

  • Belief in people – Empowering people and communities to empower themselves

  • Dignity for all – Culture of kindness, respect and compassion where everyone is welcome

  • Opportunity – Progress and development is at the heart of everything we do

  • Diversity – Embracing the differences and valuing the contribution of all

  • Partnership – Working together to build strong relationships based on mutual trust

By maintaining and embedding these values, we define how we work with each other and others – the Mustard Tree way.

About Chillblast:

Chillblast are experts in building custom build PCs.

We are a manufacturer, a brand, we are not a reseller.

We have been around for over 20 years and are the UKs most awarded PC build manufacturer.

Chillblast also sell off the shelf PCs, laptops, mice and monitors etc, but our core business and expertise is working with people (either via the site pc configurator or over the phone) to help define and then build the perfect PC for their needs.

Our customers are gamers, esports players, developers and creatives, a lot of whom cross over multiple interests…all are passionate about what they do and want quality output.

Why Chillblast is different 

Many retailers outsource their PC building to other firms rather than build and test them in-house. This can lead to a number of complications including limited stability testing, inadequate attention to detail and careless construction. When you buy a system from Chillblast your computer will be built by one of our own highly qualified system engineers, all of whom have years of experience at the highest levels of PC construction.

Campaign tone:

  • Human – real and punchy, not stuffy or formal.

  • Forward thinking – talk about how the brand, tech and products can move you forward, take you higher, make you better. Keep your words active and give them pace, energy and motion.

  • Experts – convey confidence. We know our stuff, we’re effortlessly self-assured but never cocky or arrogant.
