Starting now! @CANIntl press briefing mid-way of #COP27
It's #BiodiversityDay + hear about updates on the negotiations, #debtcancellation and adaptation
Speaking now @melaniecoath : "Biodiversity is an adaptation issue, a #LossAndDamage issue.
Now speaking @LiShuo_GP, "#G20 summit ensured there was no back sliding on #1o5 but the real test will be at #COP27
Will this #COP27 be on for the vulnerable countries or just rich polluters?"
“Parties to the UNFCCC must send an urgent political signal in the COP27 Cover Decision for a strong and ambitious Global Biodiversity Framework to be delivered at CBD COP15.” #BiodiversityDay #COP27 @melaniecoath @RSPBNews
“The world’s response to #ClimateChange should not be decided by major emitters only. Smaller and climate vulnerable countries must have a voice too, and that is why the multilateral process under the UN is vital.” @LiShuo_GP @GreenpeaceEAsia
The #G20 Leader’s Declaration presents little progress on #climate, energy and #biodiversity. However, it manages to prevent backsliding on key issues including #1o5C. It sets a floor, rather than a ceiling, for global #ClimateAction.” @LiShuo_GP @GreenpeaceEAsia

"The case of Pakistan is a case in point of the how low-income counter's are suffering from a debt crisis- if #COP27 does not deliver on a #LossAndDamage finance facility, countries like Pakistan will sink further into debt."
"We call for the immediate cancellation of debt of vulnerable countries - and the adoption of a #LossAndDamage finance facility at #COP27 which is based on providing finance as grants not loans" - @hidschow
"The impacts we are seeing now are just the tip of the iceberg- we know what is coming without strong action on mitigation, adaptation and addressing #LossAndDamage " - @SandeepChamling @climateWWF
"Negotiators need to lay down a strong legacy for discussions on adaptation finance which is taking place on African soil. Adaptation is not a "step-brother" of #LossAndDamage. We need a holistic approach.
