CSOs, especially people from affected communities, have played a pivotal role in framing the climate action agenda, especially in supporting & amplifying the agendas of vulnerable & progressive countries in their demands for acknowledgement & funding of #LossAndDamage. #COP27

Critical finance for #LossAndDamage is key to achieving a #JustTransition & protecting those most vulnerable. The concept of Loss & Damage can no longer fly under the radar when we call for transition to more sustainable, renewable & inclusive energy. #COP27

The Holy See is taking the floor at #COP27 for the first time as a full party to the #ParisAgreement and the #UNFCCC. This offers a unique opportunity to inject into the formal negotiations Pope Francis' moral leadership on the #ClimateEmergency, 🧵 1/5

Biodiversity loss & ecosystem degradation are manifestations of #climatechange #LossAndDamage, impacting the health & well-being of people & planet. Governments must break down silos to #PayUp4LossAndDamage & implement solutions for biodiversity at #COP27 & #COP15 in Montreal.

We call on governments to urgently implement nature-based solutions that respect the rights of people & planet, and for governments & financial institutions to #PayUp4LossAndDamage. Words aren’t enough. It’s time for action. #TogetherForImplementation #COP27 #JustAndAmbitious

🌏We won the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll. It has been adopted by UN Human Rights Council #UNGA by 150+ states — How come Parties at #COP27 stripped the reference to the right from the draft COP political decision? Put it back in the text! The #ClimateCrisis is a #HumanRights crisis!

🚨 In the last hours at #COP27 Parties proposed a new agreement on #CarbonMarkets that does not include any meaningful references to #HumanRights & Indigenous Peoples rights & could undermine ambition & effective #ClimateAction. 🗣️ This text MUST BE REJECTED.

The longer the #COP27 negotiations continue, the more inequitable the process becomes. The exact opposite of what we need. There must be a fair and equitable phase out of fossil fuels plus loss and damage funding. Nothing less can be called a success.

At the close of #COP27 in Egypt, Mary Robinson remarks on the outcome: “In a year of multiple crises and climate shocks, the historic outcome on loss and damage at COP27 shows international cooperation is possible, even in these testing times.” 🧵 1/5 #LossAndDamage

1/2.📢GOOD NEWS: With these words: “I now invite the COP to adopt the draft decision on funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage. I hear no objections. It is so decided.” the COP27 gavelled into existence a #LossAndDamage fund at #COP27.

#COP27 may be over, but the fight for #climatejustice is ongoing. We must continue to promote a #FossilFuelTreaty & #JustTransition to mitigate & adapt to #climatechange impacts. We must ensure that wealthy countries #payup4lossanddamage, & that #HumanRights remain central.
