"We need to include all fossils & we want stronger language on the ban of expansion of new extraction & production. To be serious about keeping 1.5 alive we need to include those targets in the cover decision by the end of today" - H.E. Mr. Seve Paeniu, Min' of Finance, Tuvalu

"The energy & equity outcomes of COP go hand in hand. Keeping 1.5 alive means accelerating the equitable phase out of coal, oil & gas. We need a strong outcome that builds on Glasgow & acknowledges the science. If we don't see that, we'll be calling #COP27 a failure" - @catabreu_

"Fossil companies present at COP have affected the decisions made. Lack of consideration for oil & gas phase out shows this COP has failed African people. We need stronger text around fossils - this is a major backtrack from last year" - Lorraine Chiponda

"For the 1st time in 3 decades major oil & gas producing countries have called for phase out. We need strong language to be put in the COP decision text. A major blocker of this is the Egyptian COP27 Presidency." - @ajeansu

Put #PhaseOutFossils in the text.

"There can be no mincing of words. We have to be clear & precise. We will accept nothing less. Let the call go forth from here that we demand the end of fossil fuels and its use, and we demand equity and compensation." - John Beard, Port Arthur Community Action Network
