‼️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-…

At this #COP27 we are looking for #ClimateJustice and #ClimateAmbition. But we haven´t seen progress. @mohadow @PowerShftAfrica.

“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

“(...) 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_

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

“The success or failure of this #COP27 depends on the equitable phase-out of all #fossilfuels.” @MartinellChiara @CANEurope
