@StockholmPlus50 @joyeeta25 @lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt @FadhelKaboub @chilledasad100 What can we do today to reinvigorate climate change multilateralism? And how can we do it in a way that is fast and fair? asks Simon Holmstrom from the @NordicCouncil, cohosts for our @StockholmPlus50 Pre-Summit event

@StockholmPlus50 @joyeeta25 @lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt @FadhelKaboub @chilledasad100 @NordicCouncil @UnescoIHE's Joyeeta Gupta asks whether GDP is even a good measurement of development when most of the remaining fossil fuel resources sit in the global south what it means that the global north asks them to not use them

@StockholmPlus50 @joyeeta25 @lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt @FadhelKaboub @chilledasad100 @NordicCouncil @UnescoIHE She adds that without a just approach there is no way to address climate change.

@StockholmPlus50 @joyeeta25 @lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt @FadhelKaboub @chilledasad100 @NordicCouncil @UnescoIHE .@lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt emphasizes the difference in responsibility across countries and how critical it is that everyone does their fair share #EquityReview

@StockholmPlus50 @joyeeta25 @lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt @FadhelKaboub @chilledasad100 @NordicCouncil @UnescoIHE Carlos Larrea emphasizes that the problem is that current mitigation tools are based on the demand side, like putting a price on carbon to reduce consumption rather than production. This is not enough.

@StockholmPlus50 @joyeeta25 @lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt @FadhelKaboub @chilledasad100 @NordicCouncil @UnescoIHE Johan Hall from the Swedish Trade Union Confederation says that unions have an important role everywhere because people who are working should take part in the #JustTransition and see what it means for them. They need roadmaps for regions and jobs.

@StockholmPlus50 @joyeeta25 @lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt @FadhelKaboub @chilledasad100 @NordicCouncil @UnescoIHE @FadhelKaboub says we cannot decarbonize a system that hasn't been decolonized. They are sucking resources and wealth, causing economic pain...

@StockholmPlus50 @joyeeta25 @lnacpil @AsianPeoplesMvt @FadhelKaboub @chilledasad100 @NordicCouncil @UnescoIHE .@chilledasad100 noted that more than half the world is locked into poverty without access to basic services so when we talk about the #JustTransition it forces us to think about a post-extractive future so make sure renewables also doesn't create an unjust reality.
