Activists are lining the path to the negotiating rooms at #COP28 as talks stretch into the night.
The latest draft text is wholly unacceptable in failing to #EndFossilFuels.
We’re calling on our leaders to #HoldTheLine + push for the fossil fuel phaseout we deserve.
Paragraphs 2 and 3 in the Mitigation Work Programme are basically backsliding from Glasgow. It caps additional targets and deadlines, which are necessary if you want to keep 1.5 degrees alive.
Letter backed by 100+ countries & signed by @AlokSharma_RDG sent to #COP27 president Shoukry late Friday... warns 'critical elements' missing from mitigation plans... expect a fight with big oil / gas states here
30 years of patience. The day has arrived. It is done. YES a new Fund for responding Loss and Damage in developing countries….This is a unique moment a win for all citizens of the world. Head of Delegation have agreed…

Thank you Sean. The death of the two foreign journalists is tragic. I heard of 42 indigenous leaders that got killed in the fight for their communities and territories in Colombia in 2021. I doubt we even have numbers for Brazil. #stopcriminalization of #indigenousclimateleaders
…and maybe an emotional address by @BusterOnAir is evidence of this on the role of ILPs in nature protection: “A great deal of the Amazon is still standing because of them”, in the face of constant threats to their lives @NatureBasedSols#NbSConference2022

Over the weekend a group set off on a walk from London to arrive in Glasgow in Nov for #COP26 - gathering with them people's #LettersToTheEarth
In this Letter from @JackieMorrisArt 'Dear Pilgrims' she 'weaves a spell of protection' around Earth

Join us for a look at the science behind zoonotic diseases, earth system stability and human health... And get inspired to use #lockdown to help ourselves, our loved ones and the planet regenerate. The magic happens when we connect the three!
So what’s the line now, then? For a period of at least 3 weeks it was either ‘undermining of govt’ or ‘scaremongering’ to ask why UK not following WHO advice. I see Johnson’s supporters & mouthpieces are lashing out...but, seriously, how do they account for this?
@JamesMelville The first decisions were informed by statisticians, not by virologist. Modelling without data only helped to spread fear instead of information...
@lewis_goodall@JeremyFarrar@AndrewMarr9 Late ordering of test machines/ protective kit. The death toll of nurses is shocking. Some only made exams a year ago. How can such young, inexperienced nurses work on an ICU dealing with an ultra contagious virus? why are we short on protection kits? Hancock needs to resign
@MCL1965 Awesome news Marc, congratulations! So pleased you're keeping a foot in the country, we need you here! Especially now that the kingdom has chosen to leave the EU fleet and sail into the big brewing storm on its own.
