Limiting the🌍average temperature increase below 1.5 C within this critical decade hinges on our ability to provide a robust, efficient financial flow to those who need it most.
At #COP29 countries must seize the crucial chance so SIDS finally receive the support we need!

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

Absolutely devastating.
This can no longer be our norm.
The world MUST step up for SIDS.
The time to demand urgent action on climate change - particularly from the bigger countries that are fueling this crisis - is RIGHT NOW.

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

Today, the General Assembly adopted the draft resolution endorsing the strong outcome of #SIDS4! AOSIS applauds the achievement of the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS - A Renewed Declaration for Resilient Prosperity #ABAS.

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

SIDS continue to be sacrificed on the frontlines of a #climatecrisis we did not cause.
Our seas grow warmer, encouraging storms to strengthen at alarming speed.
A new #climatefinance goal, fit for purpose for small island developing states, is imperative.

@gemgord Lol just one not bad 😉

[Global Environment Facility (GEF) @theGEF]

GEF CEO @cmrodrigueze opened #GEFcouncil67 highlighting that loss of #biodiversity can be reversed through systemic integrated approaches & calling for unity to tackle the triple planetary crisis more effectively.

❗️ We have failed to show the world that we are responding with the purpose and urgency required to limit warming to 1.5C.

SIDS cannot afford this failure.

COP29 must deliver decisions of substance, not delay❗️

“We need to move the discussion forward before more Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries disappear from this gathering, simply because we disappear from this planet.” Barbados on the New Collective Quantified Goal on #ClimateFinance (#NCQG).

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

AOSIS has published its proposal for a new #climatefinance goal #NCQG to drive 1.5°C ambition across the climate agenda.
Trillions💲must be targeted to the mitigation, adaptation, and #lossanddamage needs and priorities of developing countries

“The truth is… we are burning through the budget at reckless speed – spewing out
around 40 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.

We can all do the math.

At this rate, the entire carbon budget will be busted before 2030.” - @antonioguterres #ClimateAction

[Selwin Hart @SelwinHart]

A Moment of Truth.

On 5 June, @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres will deliver a special address on the urgent need for #ClimateAction and the battle ahead to keep 1.5 °C within reach and protect people and nature.

AOSIS Chair, @Luteru_Paolelei was pleased to meet @ComradeRalph Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines at #SIDS4.

Pacific and Caribbean leaders are amplifying the common needs of small island developing states to achieve resilient prosperity for all SIDS regions.

[UNDP Barbados & the Eastern Caribbean @UNDPBarbadosEC]

Small Island Developing States are in the crossfires of multiple crises: climate change, the economic and social repercussions of COVID-19, and a debt crisis.

At this time of great peril, opportunity must be seized. https://t.co/SHyoOYe8WD
