Thank you🇨🇩for your hospitality & hosting PreCop27
@UNFCCC Climate change IS affecting all the countries not shown on the map - particularly the small island nations of the Pacific (and Aotearoa New Zealand too).
@SB2021_Bloopers Apologies - I know we’re advised to avoid backlighting but I had family asleep throughout the house and this was the quietest place at 3am.
Great to be at #ccbc20 discussing the international response to climate change and the action we all need to take w/ @NinaObermaierEU, @MiraWoldberg, Samoa HC Scanlan, Japan DHOM Nishioka.
Congratulations @CFigueres for your appointment as the 10th Hillary Laureate. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to ambitious global action against #ClimateChange 🌎
Some welcome tightening in its review, but disappointing that Japan has not put an end to overseas coal financing. As @antonioguterres has made clear, no country needs to invest in new coal⚡️ - the most polluting power source. Hoping for further updates from 🇯🇵ahead of #COP26
Excellent exchange with @KayHarrisonNZ the New-Zealand 🇳🇿 Ambassador for Climate Change, with the active support of @JaneCoombsNZ : enhancement of ambition, COP25 & 26, carbon neutrality, trade, Pacific
When combatting climate change, it’s good to have an ally like New Zealand in your corner. Together, we can save Tuvalu, the Pacific, and the world. Vinaka vakalevu for the passion you bring to this fight, @jacindaardern. 🇫🇯 🇳🇿
New Zealand Minister for Climate Change James Shaw advises Ministers and Paris Agreement negotiators that the time to get the work done is now. We need robust rules for the environmental integrity of international carbon markets.
NZ Defence Minister @RonMarkNZF speaks at #ShangriLaDialogue stressing the “very real security implications of climate change”, the need for all to be transparent re motivations, and need to work collectively for stability & security in region
