Every June, governments gather in Bonn for the @UNFCCC meetings where they discuss the detailed technical and implementation work 
that prepares the ground for that year’s COP.

This year’s conference, #SB64, shapes the political groundwork for COP31.

Just Transition and Adaptation Finance must be at the centre of the negotiations and the transition away from fossil fuels (TAFF) must be guided by the principles of equity and responsibility.

Mangroves are coastal forests where land meets sea:

🌱Rich in #biodiversity
🌳Storing carbon
🌊Protecting coastlines from storms.

Restoring nature’s nurseries builds #climate resilience.

From tomorrow, 50+ countries meet in Santa Marta to map a fast, fair, financed transition away from fossil fuels.

Alongside them, the People’s Summit (24–26 April) ensures those most affected lead the call.

A People’s Roadmap will follow.

Fisherfolk communities on the front line send their message to Santa Marta: fossil fuel dependence is hitting livelihoods, prices, and daily survival.

Move away from fossil fuels - but do it justly, or not at all.

Nepal joins the build-up to Santa Marta.

People are marching - asking for a real shift away from fossil fuels.

This is what the transition looks like.

The line has been drawn in Santa Marta.

Governments have been given a mandate they can no longer defer - to end fossil fuel production.

Nearly 1,000 organisations are ready to hold them to it.

🚨Today we co-organized a campus cleanup with multiple clubs. We turned cleanup into action for Climate Justice. Waste dumped on campus violates rights to health & a clean environment. Cleaning up means restoring dignity. Proud of every volunteer #ClimateJustice #HumanRights

[Climate Action Network Zimbabwe (CANZIM) @CANZIM11]

Make the profiteers pay. In just one month, over US$100 billion has been taken from people through soaring energy prices.2 We need to tax fossil fuel companies’ profits and use the money to provide immediate support to those hit hardest by soaring food and fuel prices.

End the war completely and permanently. Civilians have paid with their lives, their homes, and their futures. Governments must secure a permanent end to wars and protect civilians.

[Power Shift Africa @PowerShftAfrica]

Why are Africans getting hungrier while the rest of the world makes strides towards food security?

Studies show that Africa’s persistent food insecurity is driven, largely, by structural, environmental, and historical factors, including longstanding colonial legacies, climate shocks, conflict, and a failure to invest in local food farming.

In this weeks newsletter we explore Africa's dependence on external food assistance and why countries like Kenya grow what they don’t eat, while eating what they don’t grow.

Global day of Action . The World Bank must direct investment to sustainable food systems.

[Fill The Fund @FillTheFund]

⚡ BREAKING NEWS: ✊ 200+ organisations share an open letter 📩 demanding the Board of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) 🔥 put in place a #HumanRights-based plan to #FillTheFund 💰 with US$400 billion a year by 2035. ⏰

📰 Press release: https://t.co/dHsBlHuHjR

[Fill The Fund @FillTheFund]

🧑‍🌾 These organisations and networks represent millions of people around the world 🌐, including people on the front lines of the #ClimateCrisis 🌡️ facing #LossAndDamage right now! 🌊🏝️

📢 What are their core demands?

[Fill The Fund @FillTheFund]

1️⃣ The RMS must deliver:
🪙 US$50 billion/year in 2027–2030 (US$200 billion in total)
💸 US$100 billion/year in 2031–2034 (US$400 billion in total)
💰 US$400 billion/year from 2035 onwards (US$1.6 trillion every four years)

#FillTheFund #PayUp4LossAndDamage

[Fill The Fund @FillTheFund]

2️⃣ 💰 All money flowing in and out of the FRLD must be grants 💸 not loans 🚫💳. ❤️‍🩹 #LossAndDamage survivors should not have to take on debt to pay for a #ClimateCrisis 🌡️ they did not cause. That would be #ClimateInjustice with interest. 🚫⚖️

[Fill The Fund @FillTheFund]

3️⃣ 📢 Rich polluting countries (e.g. USA 🇺🇸, UK 🇬🇧, Germany 🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷 and Canada 🇨🇦), planet-wrecking corporations (e.g. Shell 🛢️, ExxonMobil ⛽, BP 🏭) and the mega-rich 🤑 must #PayUp4LossAndDamage! 🔥

[Fill The Fund @FillTheFund]

4️⃣ ⚖️ The plan to #FillTheFund must be anchored in #HumanRights and all other legal obligations under international law 📜, the polluter pays principle 🏭🤑, common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR) 🧮, and intergenerational equity 🚸.
