‼️Happening NOW @CANIntl press briefing:

On the state of play of negotiations at #COP27 with a focus on #LossAndDamage and #FossilFuels

🗣️@mohadow @PowerShftAfrica, @catabreu_ , @MartinellChiara @CANEurope, @yebsan @GreenpeaceSEA

Webcast: unfccc.int/event/climate-… Image
At this #COP27 we are looking for #ClimateJustice and #ClimateAmbition. But we haven´t seen progress. @mohadow @PowerShftAfrica. Image
“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
“There are currently three options: 1) We have a fund here, 2) Let´s talk about having a fund here 3) We don´t have a fund: let´s talk some more.” @YebSano @GreenpeaceSEA Image
“(...) this COP was never set up to succeed, but if it ends without agreeing to a #LossAndDamage fund it will be a resounding moral failure leaving the most vulnerable even more exposed. (...) will be laid at the feet of a handful of blocking countries.”@YebSano @GreenpeaceSEA
“We can either walk out of here with something tangible, especially on #LossAndDamage and #justtransition, to bring home to our communities after 30 years, or we can leave this #COP27, once again, with the same empty hands.” @catabreu_ Image
We hear them saying: fossil fuels are needed to bring development and prosperity. But if they would really do so, they would have done so already. We need a #justtransition of energy and we need all countries to work together on this. @catabreu_
“To gain support, at this final stage of the negotiations, the EU needs to strengthen the inclusion of equity and recognise the historical responsibility of big emitters, bringing new and additional funds.” @MartinellChiara @CANEurope Image
“The success or failure of this #COP27 depends on the equitable phase-out of all #fossilfuels.” @MartinellChiara @CANEurope

🚨 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.
Link to the latest text:

📰 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."

—Rachel Rose Jackson of @StopCorpAbuse

⚡ 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.

1. “The fossil fuel industry is directly responsible for the death and destruction we are seeing around the world and this same industry is profiting from the crisis, making obscene profits.” @harjeet11 @CANIntl @dailymaverick by @EthanVanDiemen
dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-1…
2. “Currently, the cover text does not mention the phase-out of fossil fuels… It’s time to call out those countries which are not allowing this critical wording on fossil fuels in the cover text.”

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
