Today, the 🇺🇸 government offered at #COP28 to pledge 17.5 millions USD to the #LossAndDamageFund.
🔍This is 0.00003% of the cost of climate-related disasters that occured in the US alone during the first eight months of the year (source: @NOAA).

[Thea Dickinson, PhD @adapt2climate]

Watching #COP28 Plenary #LossAndDamage fund - a mere $17.5 Million from US. Note Kerry's careful language - "does not involve liability or compensation" At least CNN headlined their article with "small contribution" + criticism & embarrassment

Progress on climate adaptation so far has been too little, too slow. UNEP’s 2022 #AdaptationGap Report highlights the urgency to develop national adaptation plans to help the most vulnerable communities cope with the accelerating impacts of #ClimateChange. https://t.co/yyBKAm0RZN

30 years ago, on 9 May 1992, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was adopted. A lot has been done so far, yet much more needs to be achieved. The most challenging part of @UNFCCC journey is not behind us, but ahead and everyone is needed to make a change. #ClimateAction

The federal government has not met the threshold necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act. This law creates a high and clear standard for good reason: the Act allows government to bypass ordinary democratic processes. This standard has not been met. 1/3
