📰 It's the fifth day of #COP28 — and today's ECO is hot off the press. Focus for today is on finance, fossils and one very weird sandwich called Global Decarbonization Accelerator.... Read the full version here: climatenetwork.org/wp-content/upl…

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say: Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

Tears flowed and a lengthy rousing ovation during final plenary just now for AOSIS Chair #AnneRasmussen, as she delivered an emotional response filled with unsparing observations about the final outcomes from #COP28UAE

"AOSIS at the beginning of this #COP28 had one objective, to ensure that 1.5 is safeguarded in a meaningful way. Our leaders and Ministers have been clear. We cannot afford to return to our islands with the message that this process has failed us." FULL: aosis.org/cop28-closing-…

The lack of leaders from developed countries at #COP29 climate action summit, is "deeply concerning... It signals no sense of urgency, a lack of political will, which is critical to deliver on the New Collective Quantified Goal." Marlene Achoki, CARE Climate Justice global policy lead

To close the climate finance gap, strengthening adaptation at the local level is key. At @COP29Baku CARE International's demand is for a $1 trillion new funding goal that ensures equitable support for vulnerable nations. #PayUp #CAREatCOP Marlene Achoki CARE (care.org) CARE International UK CARE Kenya CARE International Som

#COP29Baku Local communities have central roles in climate adaptation projects. CARE International Centre for 21st Century Issues IFRC Practical Action - & cartoonists! - will discuss and unpack opportunities to strengthen local adaptation, from performance to investment to respond to people's needs. 1/👇

4/"Addressing climate crisis has never been more urgent than now. African countries wake up every morning to a crime they did not commit, and therefore AGN is very, very specific about the red lines that they would like to see from COP29 on the NCQG quantum." Marlene Marlene Achoki

"The NCGQ must be ambitious, public and grant based, easy in access, and gender responsive. The floating figures of $200/300 bn are a joke; they don't reflect the need of local communities in developing countries, and scientific estimates project NCQG at $1.3 tn" says Marlene Achoki

“African countries wake up every morning to a crime they did not commit,” says Marlene Achoki at #COP29 CARE Climate Justice theguardian.com/environment/li…

COP29 Azerbaijan The latest draft text for the climate finance goal remains glaringly incomplete without the concrete numbers for the finance goal. The clock is ticking. ⏳#PayUp

"Where is the number?", asks CARE International's Global Policy Lead Marlene Achoki as the pressure on countries at #COP29 to reach an ambitious, concrete climate finance goal increases. ⬇️

At #SB62 in Bonn, CARE CJC's Marlene Achoki led a seminar on NAPs, bringing together 30 youth from around the world. They used our Toolkit for Youth on Adaptation & Leadership (co-created w/ Global Center on Adaptation & Norad), equipping the youth to shape policy & drive advocacy. (1/3)
