What can we do with this #COP26 Cover Text beyond the UN process?
1 - ram that phase out of fossil fuel subsidies down the throat of every investor, every insurer and the financial markets. Stranded assets in oil, gas and coal are about to become ‘toxic assets’.

2 - start the pressure TODAY for bigger, better, stronger NDCs next year. We are now in a one year not five year cycle. Campaigners, funders and all of us need to switch to prepping demands ASAP
3 - start speaking about a Loss & Damage Facility as an inevitability - the most affected people and areas require nothing else. Model it, propose structures and even name it. Make it real.
4 - unpack Article 6 and work out what legal, political and reputation threats can close those loopholes- especially on offsetting
5 - lean into everything else - methane pledge, investor pledges, deforestation pledges, BOGA etc - there’s a LOT there to work with and make real. Big impacts to harvest if we can
6 - feel the frustration but don’t give into fatalism. It’s all about the work, it’s only ever been about the work. Take rest, stay connected and on Monday we start the countdown to #COP27
