A 1.5°C world is possible.
Fighting species extinction is possible.
Phasing out coal as an imperative is possible.
Living in harmony with nature is possible.
All it takes is #ClimateAction. #ItsPossible
🔵#UCLGMeets🟢Our colleague @FOussidhoum is facilitating this 2nd part where there is an open discussion
"The role of #localgov in the #COP26 negotiations should be advanced because they are the closest to the transformation that citizens are asking for, to our way of life"#LGMA

@UCLGMEWAorg@FOussidhoum
Today at #COP26 a @GlobalTaskforce delegation meets w/ @UN SG @antonioguterres "We need to reinforce the institutional relationship between LRGs & the UN System. An effective transformation is vital. What you do as Mayors is critically important." #Time4MultilevelAction#LGMA
@danlert from city of @Paris & @fresnicoff from @buenosaires will be representing @uclg_org in this exciting & strong session of #LGMA !
Many statements done by the #localgov making visible the engagement & readiness for more action & acceleration from the Cities authorities.
We can be the difference we seek, says @allisonevison Cllr of @COSLAEurope
A strong positioning of #localgov in the midst of the ongoing negotiations: we must take this opportunity
#LRGDay begins with a strong statement from Scotland Minister of Net Zero @MathesonMichael
Ensuring that decisionmaking is taking into account local communities & their aspirations. Therefore the multilevel approach is a necessity.
@COSLAEurope
@uclg_org@ICLEI_advocacy
One day before the end of #COP26, we cannot settle for the lowest common #ClimateAction denominator.
I appeal to all countries to increase ambition in mitigation, in adaptation and in finance.

#COP26 🟢Our SecGen @UCLG_Saiz highlights at the #NewEuropeanBauhaus#cop26sideevents that "We need to make sure that the dreams & aspirations of our communities are reflected in global policy".
A new generation of human rights to be at the centre of our future!
I welcome today's agreement between China and the USA to work together to take more ambitious #ClimateAction in this decade.
Tackling the climate crisis requires international collaboration and solidarity, and this is an important step in the right direction. #COP26
Indeed, this does concern all #localgov & #regionalgov and their #communities : once for all ladies & gentlemen negociators @COP26- No 1.5○ will be reached without the articulation of all spheres of governance & all stakeholders. Let's make of #COP26Glasgow a #gamechangertime
#COP26#COP26Glasgow JUST ANNOUNCED Draft text of 1/CMA.3
Disappointing step backwards for subnational governments recognition of their leadership in local #ClimateAction 😤
