Every day we wake up to more and more evidence of the devastating effects of #climatechange. How do we continue to take action - without burning out? I spoke about this at #VERGE22 with Jo Confino and believe it is a crucial conversation right now, so am sharing with you! 🧵1/10

Edelman’s senior director of corporate sustainability – EMEA, Eleanor O'Keeffe, says expectations for Egypt’s COP27 might be muted, but expectations will be higher for the UAE’s COP28. #ESG #UAE #Egypt Eleanor O'Keeffe Edelman Middle East campaignme.com/esg-2022-missi…

Standing our ground. As the opening of #COP27 dawns, AOSIS along with fellow #G77andChina colleagues huddle at 2:30am on the COP Presidency’s proposal which includes no liability and compensation on the #LossAndDamage agenda item. Talks continue right now.

There’s a legitimate debate over how to pay for climate action, but ‘can we afford it’ is the most absurdly reductive question. Might as well ask can we afford to educate our kids, treat our sick, and employ an army?

A year since Glasgow, 3 years since we took on the incoming Presidency, 5 years since a UK bid was first contemplated… The UK’s #COP26 Presidency ended today as we handed over to COP27 Huge thanks to so many people esp COP26 team. And all support to our COP27 successors!

Simple, effective message on Pakistan pavilion at #COP27.

Hard to miss the message on this one…what do the next 4,500 years hold

Enormous sense of nostalgia to be ⁦COP27⁩. The sense of accomplishment from @cop26 feels distant. But here’s to hope triumphing over experience.

Here to embody the spirit of Glasgow live from ⁦COP27⁩ .

The experience & wisdom of #ClimateAction veterans can be an incredible resource for lasting solutions to #ClimateChange. HE Dr Sultan al Jaber was pleased to meet Patricia Espinosa C., a former COP president & fmr. Exec. Secy. of UN Climate Change as they spoke of the road from #COP27 to #COP28UAE

I just saw the exit poll showing that climate tied with abortion as the second most important issue (after 'economy/jobs') facing the country among voters. It beat out 'crime.' Very little punditry seems to reflect this washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

Am on #COP28UAE advisory ctte (unpaid). Many have inputted to plan; Office Of The UAE Special Envoy For Climate Change + team have been working very hard on it. Cautiously optimistic about emerging plan: let's see. We can't afford for #COP28UAE to fail. All hands on deck. on.ft.com/43m4Uek via Financial Times

Now papers are out, my quick take: COP28 UAE has spent 6 months consulting stakeholders around the world, navigating thorny geopolitics, has now responded with a credible roadmap. The commitment to 1.5 is clear and #GlobalStockTake is the framing #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency

The #COP28 Presidency has announced its two-week thematic program, geared towards real world solutions that close the gaps to 2030 and respond to the #GlobalStocktake.
