Solidarity is humanity.
Solidarity is survival.
That is the lesson of 2020.
With the world in disunity and disarray trying to contain the #COVID19 pandemic, let’s learn the lesson and change course for the pivotal period ahead.
We cannot go back to the old normal of inequality and fragility.
Instead, we must step towards a safer, more sustainable path.
With decisions today setting our course for decades to come, we must make #COVID19 recovery and #ClimateAction two sides of the same coin.
Unless scaled-up, new and additional #ClimateFinance is secured a significant deficit of #ClimateChange adaptation funding is likely

Last week we successfully concluded our "Climate Finance Training for LDCs" that we jointly organized with Climate Analytics @CA_Latest under its IMPACT project. The 3 session training was held in English and French with participants from more than 28 LDCs #ClimateFinance
There is an existential need for faster, deeper emissions reductions at scale & for improving the capacity of vulnerable countries to adapt to climate impacts. Increasing #ClimateFinance will be critical |

At #ThimphuAmbitionSummit@PEspinosaC speaks of commitment to submit enhanced #NDCs in 2020. These plans must be as robust and possible, reflecting the urgency of our present crisis while planning for a clean, green, sustainable future.
@antonioguterres at #ThimphuAmbitionSummit "We need developed countries to fulfill their climate finance commitments. That includes the decade goal of mobilising US $100 billion a year for Mitigation and Adaptation. We are not there yet."
At #ThimphuAmbitionSummit@antonioguterres
