#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
At #COP26 leaders must commit to delivering the 1.5°C goal and their fair share of action. We need to see real plans for fast, deep cuts in emissions and rapid increases in renewable energy, fairly resourced. #GreenNewDealBD#UprootTheSystem#NoMoreEmptyPromise
Fighting #ClimateCrisis and inequality is for everyone. Countries that historically contributed the most to the climate crisis must deliver on their promises and increase finance to affected communities to adapt and address the losses and damages they are already experiencing.
Governments must acknowledge and address the increased risks faced by women & girls on the frontlines of the climate crisis. They must be able to participate so their specific needs are met in climate strategies. Money must go to ensure women and girls enjoy their equal rights.

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".
