See you there!
IMF DMD Li: Nearly 90% of climate finance goes to mitigation. Developing countries โ most of which have contributed the least to global emissions โ need help adapting to climate change. Today at #COP29 we discussed strategies to urgently boost investment in adaptation.
Hearing from another female finance minister today Retse Mantlanyane of Lesotho, calling for an ambitious IDA replenishment to address the crises and #LeaveNoOneBehind
As the #annualmeetings get underway, Janet Yellen talks about progress on the MSB evolution agenda. The climate, nature and equity crises are not getting any better so perhaps more revolution than evolution is needed? ๐๐ฉโ๐พ
While finance ministers are in DC for the annual meetings, their environment counterparts are in Cali. Not the best timing to get joined up solutions to global challenges but IIED is engaging in both. ๐

Thanks to @NewAmerica colleagues for highlighting our work on debt as key finance decision makers head for Washington and the WB/IMF meetings. Will be there too making the case for urgent action to deal with the debt crisis
A really insightful conversation with incredible thought leaders @camillaborn, @LauraKellyIIED, and good friend @m_molfetas at @NewAmerica on how far have we come, and how far we have to go on the path to COP29. https://t.co/U8XQfUeuiN via @newamerica
We @ONEintheUK join 120 orgs urging @RachelReevesMP@DavidLammy and @Keir_Starmer to protect UKโs vital aid. Last govt massively increased the raiding of aid budget to cover costs of refugees here at home. New govt must fix it and restore UK reputation.

Karachi is one giant oven. It's near 50C temperatures stretch the limits of human survivability daily. The ambulance service delivers 30 to 40 bodies to the #Karachi city morgue daily. In the last six days, they have collected 568 bodies, including 141 on Tuesday alone. #Climate
A combination of debt and floods as a result of climate change has brought Kenya to this point. Time to recognise that we are now in a debt crisis and urgent action is needed ๐ https://t.co/92dZ3879Yp
In the debate about increasing the amount of climate finance available, the quality of finance if often overlooked. Good suggestions for improvement from my IIED colleagues ๐

IIED's @ptmitchell and Pia Treichel make four recommendations to improve the system and increase accessibility for the communities on the front lines of the #ClimateCrisis.
Huge congratulations from IIED to @JimSkeaIPCC, chair of the @IPCC_CH, on receiving a knighthood in recognition of a lifetime commitment to helping humanity understand the seriousness of #ClimateChange and how to respond to it --> https://t.co/N9X0gMfuHC
