Another draft of the #COP27 decision is out (the 2nd in 6 hours!) and it shows that much more work is needed in the next 48 hours to ensure this COP means progress over Glasgow. (Thread 👇)
Three things that are worrying and urgently need improvement:
1) We need to phase out all fossil fuels, not just coal. While some countries have made interesting proposals, none of those are included in the text. #FossilFuels
2) Fossil fuel subsidies: they now stand at $440 bn per year despite 13 years of governments promising to phase them out. The text needs to set a clear deadline.
#G20 Leaders’ communiqué is out.
In short?
The lack of results shows that the world’s most powerful countries have not lived up to their responsibility.
Here is why!
🧵
Instead of driving progress to tackle the #ClimateCrisis, leaders have barely made any changes to last year’s text. Commitments dating 2009 to end inefficient fossil fuel subsidies & provide $100B in support to developing countries remain unmet, without any deadlines.
Positive though:
A commitment to double adaptation financing, to push for a more ambitious post-2025 financing goal, and to make progress on #LossAndDamage.
Global Citizen Live represents a call to action to end extreme poverty and build momentum ahead of the G20 Summit in October and UN Climate Conference, COP26, in November. #GlobalCitizenLiveglobalcitizen.org/en/content/glo…
The campaign calls on world leaders, businesses, and philanthropists to urgently commit resources to: meet the $15-20 billion funding shortfall of the $100 billion promised annually to the most vulnerable countries confronting climate change;
businesses to help curb emissions through joining the Race to Zero campaign and pledging 1 billion additional trees by 2022 in support of the 1t.org ambition to conserve, restore, and grow 1 trillion trees this decade;
As part of #GlobalCitizenLive, our team spoke backstage with world leaders, policymakers, advocates, and community change-makers in the #GCImpactStudio. Check out the collection in the 🧵below – we'll keep sharing more in the days to come!
"Every single person on this planet has a fundamental right to get this vaccine. That’s the point – yet that’s not happening." #HarryAndMeghanInNYC ❤️ #GlobalCitizenLive
"They said many countries are ready to produce vaccines at home. Yet they aren’t allowed to, because ultra-wealthy pharmaceutical companies are not sharing the recipes to make them." #HarryAndMeghanInNYC ❤️ #GlobalCitizenLive
"And finally, they said how the vaccine is distributed and who it should be distributed to should be left to international organizations and specialists, who know exactly where the doses are most needed." #HarryAndMeghanInNYC ❤️ #GlobalCitizenLive
