Great thread by Lola Vallejo setting out the state of play and latest updates on #lossanddamage here COP27

here we go again… no, #COP27 has not finished yet, obviously

We did it! Today we crossed a major hurdle in saving our islands. After the tireless effort by our team of hardworking and devoted negotiators and supportive partners, we are pleased to say we now have a #LossandDamageFund

A tale of two COPs in Sharm El Sheikh: On one hand a landmark decision to establish a loss and damage fund to address the devastating consequences of climate change, on the other a major failure to finally name and tackle the cause of the climate crisis: fossil fuels. #COP27

Political will delivers big step forwards with Loss and Damage fund at #COP27 #FossilFuel tensions still to be fully addressed: inches forward leave little assurance on the acceleration needed to keep temperature rise below 1.5C. Read E3G's assessment 👉e3g.org/news/political…

🧵 The global response to climate change involves three pillars: adaptation, mitigation, and loss and damage response. SIDS have always recognised the interconnectivity between these pillars. (1/11)

On Monday, ministers gather for 2023's first major #climate event, coinciding with the release of stark analysis in IPCC Synthesis Report. The Copenhagen Climate Ministerial must define radical ‘course correction’ in global #ClimateAction this year. e3g.org/news/the-road-…

At the Youth Stocktake in Bonn, where COP28 CPD Al Jaber just spoke. He say he wants a "game-changing COP," but offered no clear benchmarks for success, especially the urgent need to rapidly phase out fossil fuels as is needed to hold temperature increases below 1.5 degrees C .

I’m in Dubai for #COP28. Many are asking: ‘why is civil society attending a climate conference headed by an oil and gas CEO?’ Less people are asking: who benefits when global civil society is not there to hold their governments and fossil fuel interests accountable?

The imminent famine in the northern part of Gaza is an entirely manmade disaster. I repeat my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. We must act now to prevent the unthinkable, the unacceptable, the unjustifiable.

I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict. There is no safe place in Gaza. This horror must stop.
