Climate change has not taken time off -- BUT WHY DO YOU NEED COP26 TO UNDERTAKE DEEP EMISSIONS REDUCTION? The facts are clear, take action. @JMauskar @n_thanki @draghunandan @ClimateJustInfo @KanitkarT @3rdworldnetwork @bforboseman

US and EU are the only two nation/groups with asset holdings above the global per capita average -- the richest. You have already consumed the bulk of the global carbon budget for 1.5 degree warming -- 61 per cent of the 4/5 ths that has already heated the planet.
You ask for "keeping 1.5 alive" but your NDCs are not even 2 deg compatible. If it is Article6 that is the concern, what are you going to get out of the bulk of the rest of the world, that is going to get by on a pittance of all resources, carbon or otherwise?
The money is not with most countries. You need only a short meeting of the rich countries to beef up climate finance. Show the world the money -- and I am sure agreement on modalities will follow.
Climate has not taken time off. But it is the rich who have, all these years, and your urgency is felt only when the rest are reeling under the pandemic. For a world beset my vaccine inequalities, offering to vaccinate the delegates seems like a bad joke.
Let us have a "physical" COP when it is possible. Climate action need not wait!!
@threadreaderapp unroll
That should read North America and Europe are the only two regions....etc. My bad - apologies. @n_thanki @bforboseman
