🎙️MEDIA BRIEFING | 12 Oct 14:00 UTC❗️
Former Minister for Climate Change, Pakistan, @sherryrehman, joined by @harjeet11@liane_boell & Nishanie Jayamaha @ICVAnetwork will outline key issues to operationalise the #LossAndDamage Fund as govts meet for discussions before #COP28 1/🧵
This is so disgusting. The government and oil companies knew that oilsands were leaking into groundwater of indigenous communities and poisoning them FOR YEARS?! And did nothing. This is a crime. Water is Federal jurisdiction @s_guilbeault@JustinTrudeau what are you going to do?! #cdnpoli
According to reports, 10 countries saw flooding within 12 days. This is why we cannot wait for 2050 to achieve carbon neutrality. The more the delay to act on the climate crisis, the greater the impacts.
Nowhere is safe until everywhere is safe.👇
At #UNGA, I called on Ghanaian Reggae artiste Rocky Dawuni's music and asked, "How many roads we had to walk, just to make it to the door only to be told we were too late?"
Time is short. Yes we've made progress. But we must act now to ensure we aren't too late to save tomorrow.
4/ @AvinashPersau15 of Barbados, a small island state, emphasised that ALL countries facing significant losses must be eligible to receive #LossAndDamage Finance.
He also raised the issue of #DebtCrisis in developing countries, which is being exacerbated by the #ClimateEmergency
#LossAndDamage Ministerial, along the margins of the #UNGA, concludes with no resolution of key divisive issues.

A 🧵
1/ A substantial 'mountain to climb' to operationalise the Loss and Damage Fund by #COP28 climate conference this December.
Politicians love to use these summits & the power of the mic to push their agenda
This time UN General Secretary @antonioguterres only gave the mic to leaders who had something useful to say
If they are not going to be constructive, they were not given a platform #UNGA78.🧵👇🏿
From @harjeet11
Funding arrangements via the World Bank are worrying as they don’t have the perspective. Countries have already borrowed money to respond to the climate crisis e.g. Mozambique. These banks are part of the problem and now they want to be part of the solution.
