We welcome @DavidLammy's commitment to make climate action central to UK foreign policy.
Many communities facing conflict and climate change are still cut off from the finance they need to adapt: that finance is going where it is easier to spend, not where it’s most needed. For the UK to deliver on its climate ambitions and reach the most vulnerable, it must commit to changing this.
At FriEnt Peace Building Forum in Berlin, great political evening discussing why peace is not getting the same attention as military and what we can do about it.

🆘 #COP28 president claims there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels. 🆘
Rejecting climate science won't cut it at #COP28. 🚫
The @IPCC_CH is crystal clear: We MUST phase out ALL fossil fuels to cap temperature rise at 1.5°C❗️

The climate crisis is exacerbating the risks of violent conflict in Kenya now.
Jeremiah Kachapin Todosia @pokotyouthbunge is not at #COP28, but wants to make sure communities vulnerable to resource-based conflicts are not forgotten.
Watch & share his call for #PeaceAtCOP28
🕊#COP28 STATEMENT: We welcome the UAE COP28 Declaration on Climate, Relief, Recovery and Peace, together with the #PeaceAtCOP28 community.
This is a very timely moment to highlight the mutually reinforcing intersection between conflicts and the climate crisis, and the lack of finance reaching those affected by the double burden. We hope that it provides much needed momentum.
We would however like to see mechanisms be put in place to guarantee this is not a one-shot occurrence, that this is just the beginning, and the Declaration will be carried into COP29 and beyond. We want to see the Declaration have a legacy.
As a community that recognises the relationship between climate action and sustainable peace, we have collectively produced a set of policy demands which we urge decision makers to reflect in their commitments and pledges.

Climate change exacerbates conflict and conflict impacts the fight against climate change.

🛑 Without peace, progress toward tackling climate change will be hindered.
🛑 Without achieving the 1.5°C target, climate change will continue to fuel violence.
🟢 The SDGs are the best way to ensure we all unite to build a better world.
The UK must #Act4SDGs at #SDGSummit.
📈When #ClimateFinance is provided in already volatile contexts, donors/investors must develop strong indicators to show the finance will not exacerbate conflict & is gender-sensitive. Conflict-analyses are essential.
Important discussions #AfricaClimateSummit23#ACS23#FLLoCA
Donors and investors must carry out in-depth conflict analyses for #ClimateAction projects.
Failure to do so puts projects at risk and can increase violence.
