''This is a pyrrhic victory – all we have done is kick the can down the road to COP30, hoping Brazil’s leadership can lift us out of the quagmire.''

Our Executive Director for Governments and Policy @patel_champa responds to the latest #COP29 text: https://t.co/Z53NyhjLqM

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

"The G20 has to be bolder… It’s outrageous that in 2024, which is already the hottest year on record, the biggest economies in the world can’t state the truth: that we need to phase out fossil fuels now.” @patel_champa response to the #G20 leaders’ declaration. 1/3

We’re days away from the #G20 where world leaders will gather to discuss ways to build a just and sustainable planet. To kick things off we hosted the #Urban20 planner bringing Brazilian states together to discuss climate finance challenges for subnational governments. 1/3

As #COP29 kicks off today, @patel_champa says the task is made more difficult by a Trump presidency which “will likely walk back on existing financial commitments, and whose actions may embolden those seeking to weaken climate action”.

Approximately 3 million people are impacted by flash floods across eastern Bangladesh.

Huge swathes of land in eight districts across Chattogram Division and Sylhet Division are underwater, with Moulvibazar being one of the worst impacted districts. BRAC staff members are on the ground, extending support to people who need it the most.

We are urging individuals and organisations to come forward and stand beside us as we stand with the people who need it the most.

Bangladesh is calling. Will you respond?
