Great news: UN adopted with large majority the AfricanGroup resolution for a global convention to transform the international tax system

All BRICS voted yes

Too bad that US, FR & other rich countries voted no & prefer to keep discussions on global tax reform in their rich club

Tonight #multilateralism delivered for the most vulnerable. The adoption of the recommendations of the 5th meeting of the Transitional Committee #TC5 paves the way for #COP28 to focus on receiving early pledges and contributions to the Fund. 1/2

[Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC) @LossandDamage]

1/11.⚡️BREAKING NEWS⚡️: The fifth meeting (#TC5) of the Transitional Committee (TC) of the #LossAndDamage Fund has agreed on recommendations to send to #COP28. However, the US 🇺🇸 says “it is not a consensus document” because they were not in the room when it was adopted.

[Harjeet Singh @harjeet11]

⚡️BREAKING:⚡️The USA objects to the outcome of the Transitional Committee #TC5 and challenges the consensus decision after the gavel fell.

The USA denies financial obligations, by proposing to make developed country contributions to the #LossAndDamage Fund voluntary.

New UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2023

My comment:

"The widening gap in adaptation finance is a stark indicator of years of neglect, leaving countless vulnerable people exposed to escalating climate calamities. Instead of providing finance to developing countries, affluent nations have exacerbated the climate crisis with their persistent investments in fossil fuels.

"Developing countries stand ready, awaiting the necessary funds to safeguard their people against imminent climate disasters. Without timely adaptation, we are setting the stage for unimaginable loss of lives and livelihoods caused by relentless floods, raging wildfires, and surging seas."

- Harjeet Singh, head of global political strategy at @CANIntl

People often ask me why I am so passionate about the concept of Direct Access & how it contributes to accelerating climate action: local action allows for intersectional issues like gender mainstreaming to have a contextual voice. Case example: https://t.co/uCLDovZszE @mairidupar
