COP27: NEW HORIZONS IN EQUITY AND CLIMATE ACTION -- Video with Q&A of my NIAS Talk on assessing COP27 outcomes on 29th Nov. Some high-end points I made...1/n

COP27 a "successful" COP. Unique challenge for countries of global South that want to use this as opportunity. Challenging to manage developed countries to steer to consensus outcomes, while preserving Southern solidarity and unity.2/n
Major achievement -- putting L&D funding on agenda, while seeing off putting Article 2.1c also there, to the negotiation rooms. Hopefully it will stay there, while the new finance language (see below) takes over. 3/n

How do views of UK MPs on climate change compare to the public? In short, there's a few alarming gaps.

A quick thread on new polling with @ECIU_UK, plus a few thoughts (some hope and some despair!) #ukclimate #cop27egypt 👇🧵
Methodology: two polls via @YouGov in October 2022:

- one poll of 103 MPs, weighted to be representative of party, region, length of service etc

- one poll of 1,800 UK adults

MP surveys are never perfect methodologically, but YouGov do a really good job of them.
Firstly, the good news is there's broad agreement between MPs of all parties and voters on the problem of climate change and support for Net Zero.

They all want to see UK global leadership - one for the UK team at #COP27! ImageImageImage

🐄 They have been joined by supporters of Animal Rebellion.

🥫 Phoebie Plummer, a 21-year-old student from London said:

“As a young person, the only future I see before me is one of mass famine, severe droughts, wildfires, floods and societal collapse.

“I understand people must be frustrated with us, and rightly so, but we have to disrupt daily life because we are hurtling towards climate catastrophe, yet the Government continues to betray me, my generation and people in the Global South by issuing new oil licenses.”

I urge all of you to stress the release of #JulianAssange and to show your support for freedom of press. Don't extradite Mr. Assange to The US.

As Egypt hosts #COP27 let’s not forget the estimated 60,000 political prisoners held there.

We join the calls to release Alaa Abd El Fattah who is on hunger strike right now. #FreeAlaa

We also want to shine a light on some of those in prison here in the UK in this thread:🧵 Image
While the eyes of the world are on #cop27egypt it's crucial to pressure their Government on their human rights record and for political prisoners release.

Reports of human rights abuses range from harassing activists & journalists to torturing prisoners:

But many of the delegations arriving in Sharm el-Sheikh today are also increasing repression of protest. Often in direct response to nonviolent climate movements.

Some speaking at #COP27 this week, are silencing calls for #ClimateAction at home.
