The group wants all countries to agree on radical steps to avoid "climate catastrophe" at the upcoming #COP26.
Green campaigners are urging a postponement of the gathering, citing problems with vaccines for delegates.
@TheCVF says the event is critical and cannot wait.
@TheCVF member states insist the meeting must go ahead in person and are calling for support and "facilitated access" to ensure inclusive participation. Progress on climate change has stalled and #COP26 should move forward with what it terms a "climate emergency pact".
@TheCVF nations say that richer countries must fulfil their obligations to deliver $100bn in climate finance per year over the 2020-24 period. They want this money to be split 50-50 between cutting carbon and helping countries adapt to the threat posed by rising temperatures.

#ClimateCrisis has no borders and affects us all. It especially hurts those in poorer countries, which are also the countries that contribute the least to it. The richest 1% produce twice as much carbon emissions as the poorest half of the world’s population. #UprootTheSystem
We are in the loss & Damage era!
Extreme weather, drought and rising seas are now forcing people out of their livelihoods and their homes, and recovering from these disasters is more and more difficult. #COP26#UprootTheSystem
