🎧 Listen to the latest episode of The ClimateTech Podcast featuring SEI's Georgia Savvidou (She/her) on her work as an author of the #AdaptationGap Report. Hosted by UN Environment Programme, beyond the numbers delves into the implications and actions needed to bridge the gap. buff.ly/467fc3o

Climate adaptation funding gap is 50% larger than estimated, according to the #AdaptationGap report. The 2017-2021 financing amounted to about $3 a person, and annual flows dropped 15% in 2021, said SEI's Georgia Savvidou (She/her). By David Stanway for Reuters buff.ly/3tZKWdA

It's Day 7 here at #COP28 and parties were debating fossil fuel phase out / energy package in the Global Stocktake until late last night. My summary: At the end of the first week of COP, the opponents of fossil fuel phase out have revealed themselves 🧵

It’s possible that, within days, the world may have agreed that the #fossilfuel era must end and will have set the date for its demise - Mohamed Adow of Power Shift Africa writes for Context Climate on why #COP28 faces a momentous moment for #ClimateAction context.news/just-transitio…

Vulnerable countries need much more #ClimateFinance for adaptation and loss & damage. But let's be clear: without getting to net zero emissions through #FossilFuelPhaseOut, the bill for adaptation and loss & damage will be too big for anyone to afford. #COP28

A key moment was when Colombian President Gustavo Pedro called for joining the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, an initiative of small islands, municipalities & NGOs, but no major country. 🇨🇴 depends on coal & oil but wants to phase out fossil fuels! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes

It’s high time we lock up those climate change activists blocking our roads. 🤔 This was yesterday in Spain.

Over 60 people have been killed in catastrophic flash floods in Spain supercharged by burning fossil fuels. The death toll is still rising. Meanwhile, our government continues to freeze fuel duty and allows tax breaks for oil and gas companies. We must Just Stop Oil by 2030.
