@glcoops @PanosCaribbean I am very sorry, we missed this. It is not on your website? A tweet says it is, but it leads to a page to register for the (now past) events. Can you let us know when it is on your YouTube channel?

[Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre @CARICOMClimate]

CARICOM players wanted more from climate talks to ramp up the ambition to cut emissions and the associated impacts – from extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, to threats to food and water security, as well as the risks to public health.

"Establishing the #LossAndDamageFund is a big win for SIDS, but there's many disappointments. The fossil fuel lobby & #COP27 being held in a petro-state contributed to weakened decisions"

4/ So did #COP27 achieve anything? Let’s start with the breakthrough on #LossAndDamage: governments agreed to establish a financial mechanism to channel funds to those most impacted, as explained brilliantly by @LossAndDamage here:

#cop27 is over, but our work continues apace. Thank you for joining us. We hosted over 30 events at the CARICOM Pavilion, attended over 20 partner events and convened multiple bilateral dialogues with agencies, institutions and governments from around the Caribbean and the world.

[Climate Analytics Caribbean @CA_Caribbean]

After an intense #COP27, small islands can finally celebrate the long-fought achievement of the historic establishment of a #LossAndDamage response fund.

21-year-old Deaney Gellizeau, a climate and youth activist from St. Vincent and the Grenadines told us: “I have been exposed to multi-faceted perspectives from persons across various backgrounds from all over the world, and their contributions towards the #climatechange battle.”

Here is my #COP27 assessment.

First thing first, COP27 has done what no other COP has achieved & created a loss & damage fund to support the impacted communities of climate change. Vulnerable countries have been calling for since the 1992 Rio Earth Summit

[Dr Stacy-ann Robinson 🇯🇲 @island_scholar]

The #LossAndDamageFund established at #COP27 is a big win for small island developing states & a nod to the vision & advocacy work of @AOSISChair. Yes, the Fund needs to be operationalized, but let's not minimize its significance.

ahahah

Every security personnel I’ve encountered in Egypt and at airports over the last few days, as soon as they see my passport, they have to call their supervisor to verify Trinidad and Tobago is a real place.

[Yamide Dagnet @YDagnet]

The struggle to fully stand-up and resource this fund starts now.
The lack of collective ambition to keep global temp. increase below 1.5C is retrograde & will certainly reinforce the need for adequate resourcing. #COP27; @AOSISChair ; @LDCChairUNFCCC ; @OpenSociety

[Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum @AiyazSKFiji]

To our negotiators at COP27 –– thank you. Back home, we're ready to turn your victory on loss and damage into real wins for our most vulnerable citizens through our proven plan to deliver real protection, move communities, and support those whose livelihoods are most at-risk.
