[IMF @IMFNews]

IMF DMD Li: Nearly 90% of climate finance goes to mitigation. Developing countries – most of which have contributed the least to global emissions – need help adapting to climate change. Today at #COP29 we discussed strategies to urgently boost investment in adaptation.

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? 🌍👩‍🌾

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. 👇

We @ONEintheUK join 120 orgs urging @RachelReevesMP @DavidLammy and @Keir_Starmer to protect UK’s 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.

Puts 30C in London into perspective. #LCAW2024 even more important that ever in finding ways to stay below #1.5.C

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

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

[Laura Kelly @LauraKellyIIED]
