Just landed in Helsinki to news of the Glasgow Climate Pact, a compromise and imperfect but 1.5 degrees is clearly the goalpost now - remember at Paris it was an achievement to get it referenced #camcop26

Maldives delegate on the draft text: “incremental step forward [and] not in line with the progress needed. It will be too late for the Maldives”

Timely discussion on how to finance a green transition and what it requires from the public sector, the private sector and MDBs. @CMIANews @EBRD @IEA #JustTransition #SDGs #ClimateAction #Cop26

As Robert Duvall once said, I love the smell of Article 6.4 in the morning #camcop26 #ieta

Grateful for the opportunity to speak about innovative climate finance solutions, along with a fun panel, at the invitation of Energise Africa

[Karl Upston-Hooper @KUpstonHooper]

Grateful for the opportunity to discuss Camco’s role as a dynamic Accredited Entity with Prof Foday Jaward, Minister of the Environment for Sierra Leone. I noted his strong focus on country ownership and the need to rectify the current paucity of GCF funding for Africa #camcop26

[Karl Upston-Hooper @KUpstonHooper]

Arrived at COP26 and catching up on Art 6 developments at BINGO briefing. Still a few sticky points for the Presidency from the SBSTA 4th draft: CDM carryover, NDC impact, SOP for Art 6.4 and transparency. But vibe positive 👍
