Dear @ClimateEnvoy @JohnKerry,
Here's my 10-point response to your intervention at the @nytimes Climate Forward conference at #UNGA
1. Thank you for acknowledging that #LossAndDamageFinance requires trillions of US$, as experts estimated.

2. You now agree "in all honesty" that the most important thing to do is to mitigate to prevent #LossAndDamage, and the next most important thing is to help people adapt.
3. But, the graph clearly shows that the US failed to reduce its CO2 emissions, since @UNFCCC in 1992.

4. US gave 1 of US$3b of #ClimateFinance committed to @theGCF for #mitigation & #adaptation - nowhere close to its fair share.
5. Since 2013, I've seen the US blocking every single discussion on #LossAndDamageFinance, by arm-twisting and threatening developing nations.

While there are lots of problems with FB, Insta & co, Meta's newest project, the metaverse, sound super exciting! Looks like Meta is putting lots of money towards Oculus' #quest to build long-distance-presence solutions.

2 reasons why the Metaverse has potential:
1. Most importantly, remote work is here to stay. But for hybrid work settings (i.e. some in the office, some remote) there is no good solution yet. Metaverse intends to solve that.

2. Many of today's issues require coordination on a global scale. Think of the #ClimateCrisis, the #BiodiversityCrisis, overcoming #NeoColonialism and #inequality, et cetera. The Metaverse promises to make such coordination comfortable, natural and effective.
