📢Have you done your vocal warm-ups this morning?
It seems that we really need to speak, sing and shout much more as Parties are not listening, or don’t want to…
🎶Do you want to know what is ruining the tune? Read this thread 🧵🎶
Ministerial pairs have been announced to get some of the thorny issues unstuck:
🇿🇦🇩🇰South Africa and Denmark - MWP
🇲🇻🇪🇸Maldives and Spain - GGA
🇮🇳 🇦🇺India and Australia - Finance NCQG
🇸🇬 🇳🇴Singapore and Norway - Art 6
🇨🇱 🇩🇪Chile and Germany - Finance for L&D
#LossandDamage Finance - G77 and China are UNITED! They have presented a clear and concise path which follows in many ways the precedence of the #GCF and Adaptation Fund.
'We have come too far to fail on loss and damage finance. Three quarters of humanity is relying on a favourable outcome at COP27' @AOSISChair
AOSIS Statement here: aosis.org/aosis-chair-co…
The path starts at #COP27: 1) Agreeing a #LossandDamage Fund as an Operating Entity of the Financial Mechanism of the #UNFCCC 2) Agreeing a Transitional Committee to iron out the details no later than #COP28!
Simple, clear and in tune!
On the flip side, developed countries have no plan but to delay action until 2024 with repetitive and costly workshops, talkshops and reports, with no clear indication of what the end outcome will be.
Developed Countries are sowing disharmony - trying to divide the G77+China but they will not succeed. The US is a major blocker as are the EU, Norway, Switzerland, EIG…see a theme? You pay lip service to #ClimateJustice but that is all. We are watching you‼️
Santiago Network for #LossandDamage - Human rights and associated principles are AT RISK in this implementation arm of Loss and Damage under the UNFCCC
Adaptation - new text on GGA with some options, but Parties need to narrow these down and adopt a framework at this #COP27 that is anchored in the cover decision 📰unfccc.int/sites/default/…
On the vital issue of National #Adaptation Plans (NAPS) discussion is deadlocked as the critical element of #Finance is bracketed!
After hearing the #MWP action, negotiators must have felt energized as we have a more constructive and streamlined draft text now but more work is left to do!
The Mitigation Work Program is what we need for #1o5ToStayAlive
The cover text which captures the outcomes of this COP is generating a lot of concerns as it has been presented as a set of bullets.
This implementation COP is weak on implementation‼️
The cover text does not mention fossil fuels and energy transition, nor the finance transformation agenda, nor the timebound tracking of adaptation finance as well as 50% share.
It's not that complicated, sing with us:
🎶we need to build on the text of Glasgow
🎶we need to NOT backslide on #1o5C and we need progression
🎶No #FalseSolutions can find its way in the cover decision

.#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
3. “The next few days at COP27 are important to build a common narrative that will secure Africa’s energy future.” Dean Bhebhe of @PowerShftAfrica in @dailymaverick by @EthanVanDiemen
1/5 At this morning´s @CANIntl press briefing our speakers expressed their demand that #COP27 must establish a #LossAndDamage Finance Facility. Follow the 🧵 to read more...
H.M. Ralph Regenvanu, Vanuatu’s Minister of Climate Change, said: “We are out of time, out of money and out of patience. We must establish a #LossAndDamage Finance Facility at #COP27". @VanuatuUN
@TLukuko, @can_southafrica: “The multilateral system we have is unable to address the very very serious concerns that we have. We need to see very decisive action taken by world leaders”.
1. Today we have a special request on the Mitigation Work Program: Less brackets, more clarity for #1o5ToStayAlive ‼️
This special thread is targeted at negotiators and Ministers as they do a final push towards a strong end to #COP27#ClimateJustice
2. Yesterday we were pleased to wake up to a new text on the MWP. But few changes were made and some crunch points remain. And today…they still do!! As we really need this work programme to put us on track to #1o5C by 2030, we would like to offer some views on the text
3. We can't believe that you are still discussing the duration of this programme. Can't you just agree it needs to last till 2030 or till we close the gap?
We have just 1⃣ more day to finish this. Aren't you tired of food and bathroom queues and those sandwiches yet? We are!
1/7 🧵
We’re well into week 2 of #COP27 and the draft cover text has finally dropped: a record-long (8.400 words) COP27 cover decision draft text 36 hours before the official end of COP27. This text lacks a clear structure and vision.
Initial CAN reaction below ⬇️
2/7 Lack of transparency, and progress in the different negotiations is leading to the undermining of a meaningful outcome. It is the responsibility of the Egyptian presidency to urgently start accelerating the work and show leadership for an ambitious cover decision.
3/7 The #COP27 cover decision must not backslide, but rather demonstrate progress from the Glasgow text on #1o5C and ALL fossil fuels.
