Today, #climatechange country heads are gathered for the #COP29 Heads of Delegation retreat. We are less than four months away from the critical global climate change conference. Are developed countries and leading economies living up to their commitments on #climateaction?

Congratulations to Government of Samoa for presenting its 3rd Voluntary National Review (VNR) at the #HLPF2024, a huge sign of the govt’s commitment to #SDGs. The UN in Samoa is proud to have supported this exercise and remains committed to accompanying the govt in its SDG implementation

At COP29 Azerbaijan HODs mtg, AOSIS urged amplified action ahead of #COP29. Particularly, we look forward to enhanced collaboration as we work towards a fit-for-purpose #NCQG New Collective Quantified Goal on #climatefinance, to truly power the potential of the #ParisAgreement.

📢Milestone Moment for SIDS #sustainabledevelopment – #UN Adopts the #MVI!🎉 This concludes a 4-year process -#SIDS, devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic, successfully petitioned the UN to finally initiate work on an index that quantifies vulnerability. Congrats to 🇦🇬 and all!

"We wish to see the #MVI deployed in real-world contexts, and through its eventual refinement, that it will unlock a new way of thinking and acting on development" Fatumanava Dr. Pa'olelei Luteru UN Launches New Way To Measure Economic Vulnerability barrons.com/news/un-launch… via @BarronsOnline

For the most vulnerable, Climate Finance is an essential vehicle for effectively addressing critical issues such as #Mitigation, #Adaptation, and #LossAndDamage. At #COP29, we urge you all to #StandForSIDS and join the call for a fair and just #NCQG that moves us all forward.

💲Trillions are needed to provide efficient, adequate flows of climate finance to those who need it most. This is why we need developed countries to #StandForSIDS and commit to high ambition on an #NCQG that effectively addresses #Mitigation, #Adaptation, and #LossAndDamage.

I welcome the unanimous adoption of the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index by the General Assembly. It is a vital step toward ensuring tailored support & resources reach vulnerable countries, helping to build a more resilient & just world for all. un.org/ohrlls/mvi

Injustice is having to suffer dire consequences of a crisis you did not cause. If we do not commit to limiting 🌏 warming under 1.5C and enhancing climate finance, #climatechange impacts will worsen - for ALL countries. The safety of our world depends on #climateaction NOW.

Finance for SIDS to address climate-related damage is often given on unfair terms, dictated by rules created by rich, developed counties. At #COP29, #StandForSIDS on high ambition on a new collective quantified goal on climate finance #NCQG that is fit-for-purpose for SIDS!

“We need a massive surge in #ClimateFinance and bold #Adaptation measures to protect us from the present and future risks of #ClimateChange.”

In the midst of devastation, debts must still be repaid. The financial system was not built with the most vulnerable in mind, and this is a major injustice. At #COP29, we must deliver a #NCQG that finally provides adequate and efficient financial flows to those who need it most.

It’s a fight OUR WORLD cannot afford to lose. Supporting and empowering #SIDS means creating a healthier, more diverse, and resilient world. At #COP29, call for high ambition on #climatefinance #mitigation #adaption to support SIDS!🌎 #SmallIslandsGlobalGood #ClimateAction

Why We Must Raise #Climate Ambition for SIDS at #COP29💪 Frontline: Supporting us means addressing climate issues for everyone. Unique Biodiversity: Our ecosystems are vital for global biodiversity. Innovation Leaders: SIDS are pioneering sustainable solutions to spur🌎action!

36/59. Speaking for AOSIS, Michai Robertson highlighted that SIDS have always been the voice of reason and what you see with them is what you get: “there is no hidden agenda”. He said that it is quite clear after absorbing interventions and submissions that SIDS are

For SIDS, #Mitigation and #Adaptation efforts are a matter of survival. We call on world leaders to show solidarity and ensure #COP29 delivers a #NCQG that finally provides the adequate, efficient #climatefinance flows we urgently need. #SmallIslandsGlobalGood #StandUpForSIDS

In 1987, as a global community, we decided to phase out ozone-depleting substances. The result? The ozone layer is on track to being fully restored by 2050! This is the power of what we can achieve when we work together. Let's do the same for our climate. #WorldOzoneDay

📢PRESS RELEASE: UNGA Leaders Must Step Up on NCQG “We must have a quantum for the #NCQG above USD$1 trillion, and at #UNGA79 countries must make strong strides to commit to a #COP29 process where access is signed, sealed and delivered in the decision we formalise on the NCQG."
