We are concerned that progress is stalling at #COP27
Negotiations are missing the ambition needed to protect those hardest hit by climate change.
IFRC calls on Parties to build on what was agreed in Glasgow & raise ambition & action on mitigation, adaptation & on loss & damage
Why is disaster law important? What is the role of National Societies as auxiliaries to public authorities in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction?

#PeatlandsMatter because they:
💧store around 10% of the planet’s freshwater
❗️reduce the intensity of floods and droughts
💚are the largest terrestrial carbon sponge
Water must be at the heart of climate solutions. To build climate resilient and equitable future, we need:
💦 Clean, reliable and accessible water resources
🌱 Healthy freshwater ecosystems
Add your voice for collective water action at #COP27. #Water4Climate
Healthy wetlands are a powerful natural solution to help us mitigate and adapt to #climatechange. From carbon sequestration to protection from floods and droughts, #WeNeedWetlands! #COP27
There has been much investment in international policy frameworks - now it is a matter of making sure impact happens at the local level. Law & policy are a key foundational piece for making sure that action happens.
#COP27
Strong and coherent climate and disaster-related laws, procedures and plans are needed to prepare communities face the consequences of the climate crisis in the short-term and support them in becoming resilient in the long-term.
#COP27
With global water insecurity projected to affect 52% of the global population by 2050, protecting and restoring wetlands is critical to achieving water security in a changing climate. #COP27
How is water impacted by the climate crisis? We’ll talk with @ThandieMwape and @RodeKruis to break down how this life essential is at risk.
