1/13.📜NEW BLOG: In a new blog for @LossandDamage, @jar_climate asks "Is the #GlobalShield about progress or distraction?" on a political decision to deliver a #LossAndDamage finance facility at #COP27?

🔗Read it here: lossanddamagecollaboration.org/pages/global-s…

3/13.After decades of #BlahBlahBlah and multiple dialogues (The 2016 SCF forum, the 2018 #SuvaExpertDialogue, the #GlasgowDialogue in 2022) and 9 years of the #WIM rich countries are arguing for more dialogue* rather than establishing a #LossAndDamage Finance Facility at #COP27.

1/14 Enfin arrivé à la #COP27 après 7h de traversée du Sinaï et plusieurs contrôles policiers. Pile pour la deuxième journée du Sommet des nombreux dirigeants et des quelques dirigeantes 👀.
Petit tour d’horizons des interventions marquantes ⬇️

2. D’abord l’#Ukraine, sur toutes les bouches. @ZelenskyyUa a fait une apparition vidéo en fin de journée décriant la destruction par la Russie de 5 millions d’acres de forêts en 6 mois et appelant à un plan global évaluant l’impact de l’action militaire sur le climat et l’env.

3. Les récentes inondations au #Pakistan ont suscité une vague de solidarité. Avec un hiver dur qui arrive, le PM pakistanais @CMShehbaz a lancé un puissant cri du cœur pour la #justice: « La COP est un forum où nous, pays vulnérables, venons plaider notre cause aux pays riches…

🧵"As the first nation-state to call for a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty, #Vanuatu’s bold leadership should spur other countries to move rapidly to end our addiction to fossil fuels." @JeniMiller #fossilfueltreaty #fossilfree4health #ClimateWeekNYC

Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative

@fossiltreaty

At #Stockholm50, a huge diversity of voices called for concrete measures for a global #JustTransition, showing:

💪🏼how the climate movement is raising the bar of what real climate action looks like

🌍how the #FossilFuelTreaty campaign is gaining momentum

fossilfueltreaty.org/blog/stockholm…

1/ The #FossilFuelTreaty places the claims of the most affected communities and therefore those of the indigenous peoples at the heart of its strategy in order to tackle the root cause of the #climatecrisis. Otherwise, as Nemonte Neuquino says, what are we talking about?

2/ During our #Stockholm50 pre-summit, Anoshka Violeta Irey Cameno also reaffirmed indigenous peoples' commitment to protect their #Amazon territories and their vision of development.
