Now speaking @LiShuo_GP, "#G20 summit ensured there was no back sliding on #1o5 but the real test will be at #COP27
Will this #COP27 be on for the vulnerable countries or just rich polluters?"
“Parties to the UNFCCC must send an urgent political signal in the COP27 Cover Decision for a strong and ambitious Global Biodiversity Framework to be delivered at CBD COP15.” #BiodiversityDay#COP27@melaniecoath@RSPBNews
“The world’s response to #ClimateChange should not be decided by major emitters only. Smaller and climate vulnerable countries must have a voice too, and that is why the multilateral process under the UN is vital.” @LiShuo_GP@GreenpeaceEAsia
.@hidschow of @debtjustice
"The case of Pakistan is a case in point of the how low-income counter's are suffering from a debt crisis- if #COP27 does not deliver on a #LossAndDamage finance facility, countries like Pakistan will sink further into debt."
"We call for the immediate cancellation of debt of vulnerable countries - and the adoption of a #LossAndDamage finance facility at #COP27 which is based on providing finance as grants not loans" - @hidschow
"The impacts we are seeing now are just the tip of the iceberg- we know what is coming without strong action on mitigation, adaptation and addressing #LossAndDamage " - @SandeepChamling@climateWWF
"Negotiators need to lay down a strong legacy for discussions on adaptation finance which is taking place on African soil. Adaptation is not a "step-brother" of #LossAndDamage. We need a holistic approach.

As #COP29 nears its end, a packed CAN press conference heard how civil society is holding the line.
The stakes? Survival, justice, and humanity’s future.
Here’s why we’re fighting till the last hour. 🧵
2/ @lnacpil APMDD:
“We can’t understand how rich countries call themselves climate champions yet refuse to put a climate finance goal on the table. We are not going to accept a bad deal - it's preferable to fight for another deal than to be locked into a very bad deal..."
3/ "...we challenge the Global South to stand firm and hold the line. We have just hours left, but it's not a foregone conclusion.
🧵1/ 🌎 The #G77’s rejection of the climate finance text at #COP29 is a *make-or-break* moment that gives us an opportunity to push for a #ClimateFinance goal that’s truly fair and equitable.
Because when 80% of the world says "not enough," it’s time to listen. 👇
2/ Rebecca Thissen, Global 🌍Advocacy Lead at @CANIntl, said it straight: “The #NCQG (New Collective Quantified Goal) is *the* defining issue of COP29. It will shape the future of the Paris Agreement.”
And we can't kick this off with an unbalanced, inequitable deal. 💥
3/ 🌐 The G77 are making it clear that the text *misses critical needs.* They’re calling for $1.3 trillion of dollars per year – real, grant-based finance – to help the Global South cope with the climate crisis. Not loans. Not debt. Trillions. 💸
⚡ BREAKING: A record breaking number of fossil fuel lobbyists are at #COP28.
At least 2400 lobbyists are in Dubai to promote fossil fuels — almost a 400% increase from last year.
🧵thread below, which puts this shocking number into perspective:
@UNFCCC @UN @COP28_UAE @simonstiell Some facts about #COP28:
➡️ There are more fossil fuel lobbyists than delegates from the 10 most climate-vulnerable countries combined.
➡️ There are more than seven times the number of fossil fuel lobbyists than official Indigenous representatives.
#KickBigPollutersOut
@UNFCCC @UN @COP28_UAE @simonstiell You don’t bring arsonists to a firefighting convention — or the climate talks, for that matter — but that’s precisely what is happening here at #COP28.
Big Polluter interference in climate negotiations is costing millions of people their homes, livelihoods & lives.
.#COP27 will end in hours/days🤔and the new cover text draft did reduce in length.
BUT what we cannot accept is the continued exclusion of priorities of vulnerable countries and the backsliding on the Glasgow Pact - this process must always be moving us forward!
CAN’s reaction⬇️
2/9 The #COP27 Cover Decision must include language on the equitable phase-out of ALL fossil fuels - coal, oil, AND gas.
A huge number of countries demanded this and the Egyptian Presidency must stop ignoring it.
3/9 Parties must avoid using qualifiers and loopholes such as “(un)abated”, “rationalize”, “inefficient”, “low carbon”, and “diversification of energy” which weaken commitments to the phasing-out of #FossilFuels and fossil fuel subsidies in the cover decision.
