Heads of Delegation meeting on the cover decisions still going strong, with several requests for textual additions, changes and deletions. All other documents issued as L documents now. But obviously not yet adopted either. #COP27 #UNFCCC

The #UNFCCC YouTube channel is posting a countdown to the #COP27 closing plenary (or a session thereof?) while the Grand Reserva (i.e. the official live schedule) has no trace of a closing plenary. youtube.com/watch?v=1QENy1…

Doesn't look like much happening tonight - but don't take my word for it. This whole day has been a guessing game at #COP27.

Links to the (in)famous #COP27 cover decisions: CMA: unfccc.int/documents/6244… COP: unfccc.int/documents/6244… Note that the COP delivered a large number of other decisions. These are kind of the cherry on the top, even though some mistake them for the most imp/only COP decisions.

What took place during #COP27's final hours? Our Earth Negotiations Bulletin team was on site tracking the talks as crucial decisions were confirmed, from a #lossanddamage fund to the #climatechange mitigation work programme.

Leading scientists too are now joining the growing calls to reform the #UNFCCC. The mismatch has been there for years, but getting more and more evident. And acute.

Here's my brief take on the two major narratives about the global clean energy transition at this point in time, and how the Gulf countries are positioned in it. Thanks to AGSI for providing a great platform! #NetZero #GCC #SaudiArabia #UAE #COP27 #COP28

On one hand, those promoting rapid emission reductions are not fully recognizing developing countries’ needs, on the other, those promoting more “pragmatic” solutions have yet to prove their vision delivers in line with the Paris Agreement. Dr Mari Luomi agsiw.org/cop-27-and-dif…

The Loss and Damage committee has two UNFCCC finance giants as their co-chairs. Off for a good start.
