As part of our #COP28 series @C_BritoCecilio and I delve into the potential of #COP28 and the UAE Presidency 🇦🇪 to deliver on commitments to build a more resilient world 👇

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict.

There is no safe place in Gaza.

This horror must stop.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The imminent famine in the northern part of Gaza is an entirely manmade disaster.

I repeat my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

We must act now to prevent the unthinkable, the unacceptable, the unjustifiable.

I’m in Dubai for #COP28. Many are asking: ‘why is civil society attending a climate conference headed by an oil and gas CEO?’

Less people are asking: who benefits when global civil society is not there to hold their governments and fossil fuel interests accountable?

[Inès Benomar @benomar_ines]

@WYeates The best ones 🫶

[aldenmeyer @aldenmeyer]

At the Youth Stocktake in Bonn, where COP28 CPD Al Jaber just spoke. He say he wants a "game-changing COP," but offered no clear benchmarks for success, especially the urgent need to rapidly phase out fossil fuels as is needed to hold temperature increases below 1.5 degrees C .

But dealing with #LossAndDamage cannot be limited to one global forum. The wider #FinancialSystem is involved in managing countries’ breathing room when disasters hit, and the @UNFCCC has little authority to shape decisions beyond its realm

Three Loss and Damage outcomes are needed @COP28_UAE to support vulnerable communities:

1⃣Starting up the new #LossandDamageFund agreed to @COP27P
2⃣ Delivering on funding sources for the Fund
3⃣ Unlocking the mosaic of financing 💲and fiscal space solutions

[E3G - Third Generation Environmentalism @e3g]

On Monday, ministers gather for 2023's first major #climate event, coinciding with the release of stark analysis in @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report.

The Copenhagen Climate Ministerial must define radical ‘course correction’ in global #ClimateAction this year.

It is happening: Vanuatu & others are bringing the world's biggest problem to the world's highest court ⚖️.

Read the draft #UNGA resolution requesting an @CIJ_ICJ advisory opinion on #HumanRights & #ClimateChange 👇

📢 All countries must now #EndorseTheAO #ICJAO4Climate

[Rebecca Thissen @rebecca_thissen]

🌍Great to meet Vanuatu's Foreign Affairs Minister Jotham Napat, to discuss how to ensure a strong vote at the #UN GA in March on the #ICJAO

🔥Civil society is commited to push the #EU forward to make #ClimateJustice a legal reality

👊Wanna help? https://t.co/NwYELTKRRE

[E3G - Third Generation Environmentalism @e3g]

As #China’s wealth and emissions grow, so does its #climate responsibility. Taking part in the transformation of the global financial system will show 🇨🇳 willingness to take on this responsibility, write @byfordt & @JuanPOsornio in @SCMP_Opinion 👇 https://t.co/P5exZCT2MG

[Michai Robertson @MichaiRobertson]

🧵 The global response to climate change involves three pillars: adaptation, mitigation, and loss and damage response. SIDS have always recognised the interconnectivity between these pillars. (1/11)

[Catherine Abreu @catabreu_]

A tale of two COPs in Sharm El Sheikh: On one hand a landmark decision to establish a loss and damage fund to address the devastating consequences of climate change, on the other a major failure to finally name and tackle the cause of the climate crisis: fossil fuels. #COP27

[E3G - Third Generation Environmentalism @e3g]

Political will delivers big step forwards with Loss and Damage fund at #COP27

#FossilFuel tensions still to be fully addressed: inches forward leave little assurance on the acceleration needed to keep temperature rise below 1.5C.

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

We did it!

Today we crossed a major hurdle in saving our islands.

After the tireless effort by our team of hardworking and devoted negotiators and supportive partners, we are pleased to say we now have a #LossandDamageFund

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

here we go again… no, #COP27 has not finished yet, obviously

[Inès Benomar @benomar_ines]

Great thread by @vallejolola setting out the state of play and latest updates on #lossanddamage here @COP27P

[Lola Vallejo @vallejolola]

What's the state of play on L&D finance this morning after draft text by Ministers + surprise announcement by EU to support at *this* COP the establishment of a dedicated Fund last night?
How does it compare to G77 proposal?
