.#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!

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.

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.

What is still missing:
➡️A rapid, just, and equitable transition to renewable, zero carbon energy sources
➡️Agreement on a #LossandDamage Fund
➡️Calls for Parties to exercise increased ambition across the Rio Conventions, prioritizing linking COP27 to CBD COP15.

The strong rights-based language - such as but not limited to the right to a healthy environment, and the rights of children and youth - should be back in the cover decision text.

We need strong political signals to advance and strengthen the Global Stocktake (GST), including additional sessions needed to work on the political phase and non party stakeholder inclusion.

Promotion of false solutions should be avoided, including references to “net zero”, which does not capture the goals of the Paris Agreement - “healthy forests” (a highly ambiguous term) and REDD+ under article 6.2. #NoFalseSolutions

So clearly there is still lots of work to do but hey, they say that there will be food available at the venue until Sunday, so we’re covered! Bring your nightie and pillow, just in case!
