1/ Today as Govts gather at the #ClimateAction let’s anchor the story of the world in maps - whose responsible & who pays the price. The top 1% are responsible for double the emissions of poorest 3.5 billion people. 
2. The climate crisis hits the poorest & most vulnerable. The very same people who already face a crisis of poverty & inequality
3. It’s the countries of the global South who have been locked into poverty because of rich country policies of unfair trade rules, corporate greed, colonialism & neoliberalism
4. And just a quick reminder that current promises by countries are heading to a warming of at least 3c by end of century. Who pays the price - you guessed it.
5. But it’s a global crisis so surely rich countries will act accordingly. Here is who is most vulnerable to the corona pandemic & who is blocking access to life saving treatment. Notice a pattern?
6. So back to what needs to happen & who needs to act. It is the wealthiest in the world who control most of the worlds wealth, consume most resources & have the biggest impact.
7. Yet rich countries want to delay action until 2050, back unproven technologies with net zero emissions & not do their fair share of effort to prevent breaching the critical 1.5c guardrail. The UK must be at real zero by 2030 & pay their climate debt
8. In the face of empty promises - movements from around the world are coming together to push for a just transition that tackles the interlinked crises of poverty, inequality & climate crisis. If you believe in #ClimateJustice then add your name today: bit.ly/climate-justic…
