We’re proud of our world-leading #ClimateJusticeFund. It changes lives and tackles inequalities.

This #COP26 year, we are commissioning an independent evaluation to ensure the Fund and @ScotGovClimate continues to deliver climate justice.

Good conversation today with 🇺🇸 ⁦@ClimateEnvoy⁩ John Kerry ahead of ⁦@COP26⁩ in Glasgow - ⁦@scotgov⁩ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 looks forward to working with him and others to ensure a successful event that delivers the action towards net zero that the planet needs.

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

Thank you @Louisemac @YoungScot for a great end to the week, highlighting ways young people, as experts of their own experience, meaningfully shape #COP26 & climate crisis actions across all Scotland. 'Our actions, not our words will be judged by young people'. Quite right.

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

Welcome @COP26 opening applications from orgs wanting to get involved in Glasgow. Scope for creativity & focus on those most impacted and on front line of climate impact https://t.co/KM2asQ1qub

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

Great to meet @COP26_Coalition & @sccscot today, to discuss their great plans for #COP26, what success means & what we can do. Powerful case for ensuring those most affected properly heard & strong link to @scotgov themes of people and just transition

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

@SouthSeeds @scotgov @ScotGovClimate Thank you, that's a really inspiring combination. We need that sort of cheer. Look forward to working with you all.

QCPR adoption = UN now with 4-year policy framework ahead that's strong on effectiveness, inclusion + LNB, peace + security, green recovery & climate crisis. Good result #UN @UKUN_NewYork & good news for #SDGs delivery

[The Lord (Tariq)Ahmad of Wimbledon KCMG @tariqahmadbt]

We have 10 years to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, including poverty eradication & global gender equality. This is what the UN Quadrennial Comprehensive Policy Review aims to realise & the UK is committed to working with @AminaJMohammed & @UN to #BuildBackBetter

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

I hope all you fab movers and shakers on the UN, climate crisis, inequality, inclusion & civil society are feeding in your brilliant evidence & ideas: deadline 11 Sept, happy to chat https://t.co/PeVZwlKg5O

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

great thread @sarahcliffe #UNSC briefing '..people have been brutally reminded what we have governments, and international cooperation for—that without them, there are some forms of crisis that cannot be solved'

[NYU Center on International Cooperation (CIC) @nyuCIC]

Thread: @nyuCIC director @sarah_cliffe's remarks to the #UNSC on #COVID19: “I think we have to accept that the pandemic has exposed fragility in all countries, in our health systems, economic, social and political fabric.”

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

These: https://t.co/8FgHTXQNsq & https://t.co/SZDHsyvZYa COVID climate signal small. Long-term, system-wide decarbonisation of economies necessary: Lead with science, Work for all, Start now

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

Distributional changes leading to decreases in inequality feasible + essential to pro-poor growth. Reducing in-country inequality (Gini) by 1% annually brings larger poverty impact than increasing annual growth 1 percentage point.

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

Clear message on data's role in helping create recognitional, procedural and distributive justice, in COVID & everywhere else. Excellent @karenjwong

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

Great inclusion initiative from @UNESCO, recognising innovation in digital empowerment for people with disabilities @Glad_Net @IDA_CRPD_Forum https://t.co/xG9pFXYcS7

[Gerard Howe @GerardH07]

What a day to remember & what progress we've seen. Shows how much #InclusionMatters & how much dedicated, specific, sustained and person-centred work & leadership it requires

[FCDO Inclusive @FCDOInclusive]

On the 2nd anniversary of the #GDS18 #UKAid supports the launch of #InclusiveFutures, working to ensure that #InclusionMatters and no one is left behind.
