Wonderful to meet and exchange with Ibrahima Cheikh Diong at #COP29, Executive Director of the new Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD). Looking forward to many more conversations about our shared commitment to support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Yesterday morning all four heads of the world’s major multilateral climate funds sat down with Ministers Anneliese Dodds and Kerry McCarthy, to discuss the UK’s ambitious new climate goals just announced at #COP29 – which includes reducing emissions by 81% by 2035. #MCF

Delighted to address a focused #COP29 session on “Shifting Gears” to accelerate energy transitions, hosted by the Breakthrough Agenda & Mission Possible Partnership. We must urgently close the clean energy investment gap in emerging markets and developing economies. Photos: Habib Samadov

How can we do more with the #ClimateFinance we have? Yesterday I joined the #COP29 Presidency and colleagues from the world's four largest climate funds – Adaptation Fund, Global Environment Facility (GEF) & @TheGCF – to share how we have actioned a new era of cooperation, for greater collective impact.

Proud to partner with the new Global Matchmaking Platform, launched today at #COP29. This aligns perfectly with our new program to accelerate industry decarbonization, and get promising low-carbon technologies to market. cif.org/industry-decar… #GlobalMatchmakingprogram

A real pleasure to see Secretary Rodrigo Rollemberg from Brazil, at #COP29. It was great to hear the latest news on the developments at Porto do Pecém, since I visited with Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband and World Bank in August!

A very happy new year to friends, colleagues and CIF partners! I'm so excited about the year ahead, and look forward to connecting with all of you.
