Starting now! @CANIntl press briefing mid-way of #COP27
It's #BiodiversityDay + hear about updates on the negotiations, #debtcancellation and adaptation
Speaking now @melaniecoath : "Biodiversity is an adaptation issue, a #LossAndDamage issue. Image
Image
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?" Image
“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
Image
“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 Image
The #G20 Leader’s Declaration presents little progress on #climate, energy and #biodiversity. However, it manages to prevent backsliding on key issues including #1o5C. It sets a floor, rather than a ceiling, for global #ClimateAction.” @LiShuo_GP @GreenpeaceEAsia Image
.@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." Image
"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 Image
"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 Image
"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. Image

🚨 BREAKING: The latest iteration of the Global Stocktake (GST) text has been released.

The clock is ticking on the final hours of #COP28 and this is a critical moment in the negotiations.

Thread below sharing our collective reactions and demands from the @CANIntl network: Image
Context: The Global Stocktake (GST) text will provide the blueprint for countries to develop their 2025 Nationally Determined Contributions.

Put simply, it's a report card on where the world is at eight years after the Paris Agreement — and a plan on how to course correct.

📰 BREAKING: At least 2,456 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to the #COP28 climate negotiations.

That's a 400% increase since last year. Fossil fuel lobbyists are poisoning this process. We must #KickBigPollutersOut

theguardian.com/environment/20…
"These findings tell us that the dynamics within these spaces remain fundamentally colonial.

COPs have become an avenue for these corporations to greenwash their polluting businesses & foist dangerous distractions from real climate action."

— Caroline Muturi of @IBON_Int_Africa
@IBON_Int_Africa "If #COP28 doesn’t deliver a fossil fuel phase out, we know who to blame.

We are angry, and we are over having to explain again and again why the fossil fuel industry should not be writing the climate rules."

⚡ 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: Image
@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.

“You cannot have a LossAndDamage fund, if it doesn't deliver solidarity to those communities on the frontline that cannot adapt to #ClimateChange anymore. We are in need of international solidarity.” @mohadow @PowerShftAfrica
