The tragedy is that this is not news, as debt repayments spiral - but @FCDOGovUK and other wealthy governments dragging their feet on debt cancellation that is needed #FFD4 https://t.co/SF4oHfDMBf

The UK government must do more to tackle the global debt crisis #FFD4 https://t.co/Wxe1MQeNtL via @ft

Ready as we will ever be!

Inspiring to see the Latin America and Caribbean church leaders call to climate action launches last week in Brasilia @Oikoumene @AnglicanWorld @iamCARITAS @christian_aid @ACTAlliance https://t.co/kFwG5bXEmu via @LinkedIn

I vowed never to run a marathon. It's not good for you.

I'm now most of the way through my training and it's looking like I might actually do it.

How did that happen?https://t.co/ua6jeueMYi

As we analyse the outcomes of #COP29, and ponder why it didn’t achieve what was needed, we cannot just jump straight back into action. We need time to lament and grieve and rage against the injustice of delayed action.

[Graham Gordon @GrahamGordon4]

https://t.co/AmXSSTbqAK #COP29 will likely drag on into Sunday. The money offered by wealthy countries is completely inadequate and insulting - there are 36 hours for a reality check and to step up the political ambition.

⁦⁦ @romilly_bond⁩ presenting highlights of the year ⁦@bondngo⁩ AGM. Continued pushing for #decolonised and #localised aid. Challenge to push for more structural reform of global financial architecture ⁦@christian_aid⁩

It’s action day at #COP29. No chanting allowed but message was loud and clear. End the love-in with fossil fuels and stump up the cash needed for climate action. @christian_aid @ACTAlliance

[Graham Gordon @GrahamGordon4]

“Packing fossil fuel companies into #COP29 is like inviting a drug dealer to rehab” - Fossil fuel... https://t.co/FULoAiWIkd @christian_aid @politico

📢We joined @ACTAlliance and @Oikoumene to demand a new deal on climate finance at #COP29. Wealthy countries need to pay up now - grants not loans to avoid countries plunging deeper into debt‼

Great to meet Bishop Julio today - a powerful advocate for climate justice @Oikoumene

[Christian Aid @christian_aid]

Rt. Rev. Bishop Julio Murray Bishop of Panama rejects Azerbaijanis presidents defence of drilling for oil & gas as a gift of god.

We’ve spent time today strategising towards COP30 in Brazil & exchanging ideas on how we can work towards #ClimateJustice with the Bishop.

Nushrat Chowdhury of ⁦@christian_aid⁩ speaking at ⁦@faithpavilion⁩ at #COP29 - loss and damage funds needs to reach local communities and be managed by those whose lives have been affected ⁦@ACTAlliance⁩

[Graham Gordon @GrahamGordon4]

@Ed_Miliband speaking at @GOVUK pavilion at #COP29 “Economy going in one direction” for decarbonising. Encouraging reality for many wealthy countries - but for many developing countries we need an #NCQG in the trillions #JustTransition @christian_aid

[Christian Aid @christian_aid]

#COP29 host nation #Azerbaijan will suffer more economic harm from #ClimateChange than any other country in Eastern Europe.

It faces a reduction in GDP of 12.6% in 2070 if the world let’s global heating rise to around 2.8C.

Day 1 at #COP29 - we need new public $ for climate action, clearer action to end the global dependency on fossil fuels - where will the bold leadership come from? ⁦@BBCNews⁩ ⁦@christian_aid⁩

[Graham Gordon @GrahamGordon4]

Why do we go through the COP circus every year? Is it really worth it? My thoughts below #cop29 ⁦@christian_aid⁩ ⁦@ACTAlliance⁩ ⁦@CANIntl⁩ https://t.co/kAMP3fpb4a
