Over 300 M people have been displaced from their homes since 2020. That’s the equivalent of one person being displaced every second of the day. And 80% of people forced to migrate due to the adverse effects of climate change are wo…https://t.co/NkoYF94tJ9 https://t.co/YEmjWHgKUm

Globally, women’s carbon footprint is 6-28% less than men’s re: @IPCC_CH report. This is not just due to higher rates of female poverty, but more sustainable consumption + energy choices. This is a call to design green solutions with & by women #cop27 @TuckSchool @Kennedy_School

Sec Kerry announces US is signing the Kigali Amendment (https://t.co/oQKHM7hTJu ) + President Biden is pledging 4x the climate finance of Obama era to support a just transition & climate solutions in developing countries #COP27 @Kennedy_School @TuckSchool

In 2021 alone, the US experienced 15 $1BN natural disasters. Secretary Kerry, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, restates a US commitment to science-driven policy on mitigation, climate finance, loss & damage, and implementation of Paris & Glasgow agreements #COP27

The economy has added 10.3 million jobs since January 2021.

That's the most jobs added in the first 21 months of any president's tenure. Thanks, @JoeBiden.

Indigenous People protect ~80% of the world’s biodiversity - and do so better than any other mitigation effort. The Forest Tenure Pledge from COP26 entrusted $ for forest communities YET 1 year later <7% of the $321M have actually gone to Indigenous hands #COP27 @10DowningStreet

The past 8 years are on track to be the 8th warmest. Extreme heatwaves, drought and devastating flooding affected millions and cost billions this year, and 2022 was disastrous for glacier melt. The negotiations at #COP27 must consider #StateOfClimate 🔗https://t.co/fXI9ebrl01

[Fake Mark Carney @MarkCarney_Ego]

Yesterday, Minister of Affairs Mélanie Joly and I arrived in Egypt for #COP27.

So far this year, I've flown over 12 million kilometres to tell the world that Canadians pollute too much.

All of the @G7 leaders agree, there is only one solution - higher taxes.

The unchecked climate emergency is creating hell on earth in so many places. And people forced to flee are on its frontlines. #COP27

What we must do immediately:
1) End the use of fossil fuels
2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind
3) Electrify everything
4) Conserve
5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement)
6) Stop cutting down trees.

As Egypt hosts #COP27 let’s not forget the estimated 60,000 political prisoners held there.

We join the calls to release Alaa Abd El Fattah who is on hunger strike right now. #FreeAlaa

We also want to shine a light on some of those in prison here in the UK in this thread:🧵

[Mona Seif @Monasosh]

We have received a letter from PM @RishiSunak pledging to call for release of Alaa "at the highest levels" and an end to his "unacceptable treatment."

Alaa has just drunk his last glass of water 2hrs ago as .. let's hope this letter translates into action #COP27  

#FreeAlaa

[John Casson @JohnCassonUK]

A man of rare courage, hope & vision is dying in jail as #COP27 meets nearby

How @RishiSunak can save a British citizen & Egyptian gem neither we nor Egypt can afford to lose.

China + US make up >1/3rd of global greenhouse gas emissions 🌍 Big Q at #COP27: Should the world’s biggest emitters finance climate solutions for more of the world. How do you think we should finance the globe’s sustainable development emergency? @TuckSchool @Kennedy_School
