2/9. This letter is a Cease and Desist Notice is to demand that #FossilFuel CEO's immediately stop opening any new #Oil, #Gas, or #Coal extraction sites, and stop blocking the clean energy transition that is urgently need.
3/9. The letter highlights that #FossilFuel companies KNEW for decades that fossil fuels cause catastrophic #ClimateChange. That they MISLED the public about #ClimateScience and risks (#LossAndDamage) and
DECEIVED politicians with disinformation sowing doubt and causing delay.
4/9. And calls for #FossilFuel CEO's to end these activities as they are in direct violation of #HumanRights to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, the corporation's duties of care, as well as the rights of Indigenous people.
5/9. At it's end the letter presents an ultimatum to #FossilFuel CEO's that if they fail to act immediately, citizens around the world will consider taking any and all legal action to hold them accountable whilst people will keep protesting in the streets in huge numbers.
8/9. Lastly, find out more about why "phasing out" all #FossilFuels is urgently needed to reduce the amount of #LossAndDamage that will happen in the future by limiting warming to 1.5°C!
1⃣ That although #LossAndDamage costs run will into trillions of US $'s, in the short term focusing on getting a few tens of billions of US $'s a year to support the poorest and most vulnerable communities would be wise.
3/12. 2⃣ Funds to address #LossAndDamage don't necessarily need to come from governments they could come from countries imposing a tax on every fossil fuel company registered in their jurisdiction.
1/11. With the final gavel of the @COP27P behind us, here ends @LossAndDamage’s coverage of #LossAndDamage at #COP27. We thank you all for reading what we have shared with you. Now It is time for us to rest and travel home to our loved ones.
2/11. But before we do we wish to extend huge gratitude to all those within our Collaboration and beyond have worked tirelessly for months to deliver a #LossAndDamage fund and the operationalisation of the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage.
3/11. We are grateful for the solidarity and unity of the G77 and China and in particular the leadership of #Pakistan under the team led by H.E @sherryraham and lead negotiator #LossAndDamage@VicentePaoloYu.
2/18. 📢GOOD NEWS: #COP27 has established a #LossAndDamage fund! Following courageous and consistent championing for 30+ years by countries on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis. This is a historic moment that sets us on a pathway to #ClimateJustice.
3/18. During this time, climate-vulnerable countries were supported by the tireless efforts of #CivilSociety who have and will continue to demand that polluters #PayUp4LossAndDamage. We’ve put our heart and soul into this for decades now and we are not stopping anytime soon!
1/25.📜It’s day thirteen of #COP27. We’re in overtime now and behind closed doors, Parties have been working with the @COP27P to find common ground on funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage.🧵
3/25. Key messages included, @RachelCleetus on the G77 and China’s continued expectations for #COP27: "Climate-vulnerable countries came with a clear ask. They want a #LossAndDamage fund under the COP and the CMA. Then we can talk about getting it operationalised."
1/5.⚡️WHERE ARE WE AT?⚡️:Good morning Its day 13 of #COP27 and we have run into overtime. We are waiting to hear what will happen throughout the day as heated bilateral discussions continue on “funding arrangements” for #LossAndDamage. 🧵
2/5. But make no mistake, everything is still up for grabs and we are still pushing for an “operating entity” (be it a fund or facility) to be established under the financial mechanism of the @UNFCCC at #COP27 to address #LossAndDamage.
3/5.Don’t forget, this is what AMBITIOUS means: The operating entity needs to be under the CMA and the COP, it needs to deliver new and additional funds, it needs to be based upon equity and CBDR-RC, it must cover ALL vulnerable developing countries, not just the most vulnerable.
