At #IUCNCongress in Abu Dhabi, the #CBAScale+ team brought experts & practitioners together to explore how locally led, nature-based action builds climate resilience in drought-prone landscapes 🌿

Speakers from 🇲🇿 🇿🇼 🇿🇲 & the Levant shared lessons on bridging local realities & global goals.

@OECD @WRIFinance @theGCF The headline figures seem pretty good, right?

But if you've read this far you're likely familiar with the longstanding issues with climate finance, which can be summarized as:

Is it getting to the people that need it,
for the things they need,
in a form that is useful to them?

New article!

In @GlobalizationsJ, I reflect on the persistent failure of the ‘private turn’ in development finance to actually mobilise capital on the scale intended, and what this says about the place and power of finance in the world economy.

The dark side of offsetting

[CARE International @CAREGlobal]

🚨 NEW: Wealthy countries continue to break their #climatefinance promises, reveals CARE.

They pledged just $14.3 BN out of a promised $50BN for adaptation, severely undermining efforts to minimize the multiple impacts of #climatechange.

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

once again, I'm begging people to stop talking about our "current policy" warming trajectory with such confidence.

it's dangerous to encourage people's complacency when so many net zero plans are not credible.

[Christopher Roy @ChrisRoy2323]

Proud to have contributed to this @Oxfam work researching the true value of climate finance and (inadequate) progress toward the $100bn goal.

We must rebuild trust by delivering on pledges if we want global climate agreements to be taken seriously.

#ClimateActionNow

[Oxfam @oxfamgb]

BREAKING: Rich polluting countries are failing to honour their climate finance promises. They are 3 years overdue to mobilise $100 billion a year in climate finance for low-and middle-income countries.

The actual funding is also much less than has been reported... /1

1/13. At #TC2 this afternoon in Bonn, @liane_boell of @boell_us, shared key messages from #CivilSociety and the @WGC_Climate on the purpose and scope of the #LossAndDamage Fund agreed at #COP27. 🧵

[Joe Thwaites @joethw8s]

This one fossil fuel project approved by @EximBankUS is nearly double its entire renewable energy financing last year.

With the Biden administration struggling to meet its $11bn #climatefinance commitment by 2024, ExIm should be doing much more to help meet this goal.

[Christopher Roy @ChrisRoy2323]

I just discovered @WWAttribution and it is really fantastic. Seems by far the most reliable source for climate change attribution work! I wonder how this will translate to #lossanddamage dialogue...?

[World Weather Attribution @WWAttribution]

Last week’s heatwave in Algeria, Morocco, Spain, and Portugal would have been virtually impossible in a world without human-caused climate change.

Our study found that climate change made the event 3.5°C hotter and at least 100 times more likely.

[Christopher Roy @ChrisRoy2323]

TIL! It's a real surprise to me that Methane has contributed so much to warming so far

(so surprising I had to check the source!)

[International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) @MethaneData]

📈It might not look like it, but it’s a lot.

@IPCC_CH's Climate Change 2023: Synthesis Report compares current climate conditions between 2010-2019 with 1850-1900 temperatures, emphasizing how methane emissions aggravate the #climatecrisis.
