As yet another COVID19 variant emerges, the yellows and reds on the #IMF 'Staff proposal to end the COVID19 pandemic' are a reminder that certain countries need to pick up the speed on funding #COVIDVaccination strategies. Like the #climatecrisis, we are #inthistogether.

Misinformation and inequitable vaccine access. According to the #IMF, "Only 14% of COVAX-Contracted and 8% of AVAT-Contracted Doses have been Delivered by Manufacturers So Far" imf.org/en/Topics/imf-…

I agree Ed King. Although I think it might be more accurate to say India's "need, willingness and ability" to quit coal, since 'means implementation' is the crux of the matter in the Paris Agreement and the world getting to 1.5 degrees #ClimateJustice #ClimateAction

A true 'great'. Tutu helped liberate more than just South Africa. #EthicalTransformativeLeadeaship

"... Europe wants to shackle Africa with new fossil fuel infrastructure that we know will be redundant within a few years, not to mention self-harming for the continent. And lest we forget: gas from Africa will emit the same amount of emissions as gas from Russia." #ClimateAction

As Chair of United Nations Secretary General António Guterres’ Expert Group on net zero pledges by biz, financial institutions, cities/regions, I'm inviting all to join our global public session on June 29, 10-11am EST to find out about our work & how to support it! events.unfoundation.org/netzeroemissio…

#ClimateAction seems to be flatlining – and the world’s most vulnerable are paying a horrific price. All countries – with the G20 leading the way – must boost their national emissions reduction targets every year, until we limit the world’s temperature rise to 1.5 °C.

I had a great time and learnt a lot while researching this important area. Special thanks to the financial sector policy makers in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa who agreed to be interviewed, participants in the webinar and, of course, Climate and Development Knowledge Network. #ClimateAction

It was great to draw and build on the collective intelligence in the room. And to meet António Guterres for the first time. He's even more inspiring in person! #ClimateAction Jacqueline Musiitwa @ZeniZeniSusFin

The power of energy policy and renewable energy technology: electricity prices in two of South Africa's largest metros may end up 30% less than elsewhere because of RE IPPs. Anton Eberhard is this possible? #energyaccess #ClimateAction #energysecurity capetownetc.com/news/could-cap…

Thanks for reminding me of these statistics. The statistics for companies are similarly skewed, in the sense that 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions (CDP). For #ClimateJustice and reaching #NetZero, consumption-based and companies' emissions are critical.

“There is no sign of the mangroves that, after a decade of growth, should be close to maturity. An on-the-ground study published in 2020 found that fewer than 2 percent of them had survived. The other 98 percent had died or were washed away.” e360.yale.edu/features/phant…

Net zero commitments can't be a mere public relations exercise if we want to win the fight against climate change. We must have zero tolerance for greenwashing. The report from my Net-Zero Expert Group will help us move to the net-zero future we need: un.org/en/climatechan…

"To achieve #NetZero globally, there needs to be a new deal and increased cooperation between public and private international financing institutions." 🌱 — Malango Mughogho #COP27

It's wrap indeed! And what an incredible experience it has been. The HLEG's job was made that much easier thanks to consultations and input from experts across the globe like Catarina Abreu. I look forward to seeing the response to António Guterres's call for alignment by mid 2023.

I have no time for folks who say we need to give up on 1.5C. Everyone needs to think like an athlete: Set a long-term stretch goal, have a plan, work hard on it every day. It's super tough but you dig deep. You never give up. Focus on finish line: A sustainable 🌎 for all. #IPCC

A clear message from the #UNSG based on science from the #IPCC. As the region in Africa where I live faces yet another devastating cyclone, I am looking for the political and corporate will to harness the knowledge and resources that we already have to address #ClimateActionNow

Mafalda has been a hugely effective champion of CIF and I am excited to see her do the same for Green Climate Fund. This appointment also provides an opportunity to solve one of the most vexing problems in the #climatefinance architecture: CIFs v GCF. Read on for more...🧵1/10

Brazil’s most iconic monument, the Christ the Redeemer statue, was illuminated to show the Climate Clock tick over from 6 years, 0 days, 00:00 hours to 5 years, 364 days, 23:59.59 hours laprensalatina.com/climate-clock-…

Policy makers need to read this! Especially the #TaskforceOnNetZeroPolicy. The Taskforce’s implementation could not be more timely.
