Moments create momentum, and this moment finally got those in the drivers seat of the NCQG deal to listen to our demands as SIDS and LDCs.

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

WE ARE STILL HERE.
But for talks to be productive, they must be INCLUSIVE.
The voices of the most vulnerable cannot be ignored.
@AOSISChair and @LDCChairUNFCCC remain committed to securing a #COP29 deal that will not plunge our world into further peril.

THANK YOU to our hardworking #SIDS negotiators and @AOSISChair team at #COP29! 👏👏👏

For SIDS, the outcome was not perfect so we must press on to advance climate ambition.

We will build on the work of Baku to drive urgent #climateaction to secure a better future for us all.

[Isaia Lautasi @Isaia685]

our calls are being ignored Across all packages, there is a deplorable lack of substance, especially as it relates to the special needs and circumstances of SIDS and LDCS.

We are down to the wire at #COP29.
The draft #NCQG and #Mitigation texts are unsuitable and will simply stagnate ambitious #climateaction.

❌$250 billion is severely inadequate
❌no minimum allocation for #SIDS and #LDCs is unacceptable

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

At the 2nd Workshop under the Sharm el-Sheikh Dialogue on Article 2.1(c), we made it clear that SIDS must not be left out of the conversations that are critical to keeping 1.5 Alive.

Let us forge forward with inclusivity.
#SIDSMatter - our stories should shape the solutions.

📢We Cannot Afford Further Division on the #NCQG !

At the Baku NCQG HODs mtg, we need common ground on New Climate Finance Goal:

- 1.5C-aligned, to truly achieve the goals of the #ParisAgreement.
- 2025-2035 w/ mid & end-of-goal reviews.
- guardrails for transparency.

📢PRESS RELEASE: UNGA Leaders Must Step Up on NCQG
