Speaking for @UNDP, @jebaumwoll highlights that #ClimateFinance is critical for countries to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCS): “whether it's on #Adaptation nature, energy costs, or issues that are emerging on the agenda, like #LossAndDamage.”

Brilliant piece on the "last-chance tourism" : It is doing more harm than good? https://t.co/Ch2tnjkJ9l

The latest @UN Security Council resolution on the Gaza crisis must clear the way for a humanitarian ceasefire. But this is not enough.

The situation in #Gaza has become catastrophic for its people. This war must end now.

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

As we mark 45 years of support to Palestinian people through @UNDPPalestinian we renew our call for a humanitarian ceasefire in #Gaza. @UNDP remains committed to our mission of resilience, development, and peace in the region. @UN_PGA

[Inger Andersen @andersen_inger]

COP28 has delivered, for the first time, a clear call on countries to transition away from fossil fuels. The deal is not perfect, but we saw progress on key solutions.

The hard work of decarbonisation must begin. #CimateAction cannot wait.

[Aruna Chandrasekhar @aruna_sekhar]

- No refs to oil & gas, again.
- "Transitioning away".
- "Transitional fuels" aka gas, get "recognised" for ensuring energy security.
- From "rapidly phasing down" to "accelerating efforts towards the phase-down" of coal, "limits" on new coal gone. #COP28 https://t.co/dsNSXUTamw

The final #COP28 text on taking stock on the progress of the Paris Agreement has been adopted - with disappointments from vulnerable countries and CSOs : See for coverage: https://t.co/mBpk5mAbYW

[AOSIS @AOSISChair]

Tears flowed and a lengthy rousing ovation during final plenary just now for AOSIS Chair #AnneRasmussen, as she delivered an emotional response filled with unsparing observations about the final outcomes from #COP28UAE

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say:

Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

[Pierre Candelon @pierre_candelon]

#DominicanRepublic speaking sharp yesterday at the HoD Meeting on the last version of the text of the #GST at #COP28 - "We thus call for consistency and pragmatism– the pragmatic approach being the one where Small Islands can survive." @milagrosdecamps

[Pierre Cannet @pierrecannet]

BREAKING #COP28: Small Island Developing States @AOSISChair very concerned by the current draft text: “weak langage on fossil fuels”, “completely insufficient”. “It doesn’t refer to a phase out at all.” “Any text that compromises 1.5°C will be rejected.” Minister Cedric Schuster

Halfway between the field and diplomacy - What's it like to work in international development or on climate change? (Subtitle - "Shooting a video after 2 weeks of negotiations and little sleep")
Thanks @UNDPClimate with @PNUDRD, @InkaMattila @CambioClimaRD, and @ambienterd

What's it like to work in international development or on climate change?

@Pierre_Candelon walks us through what it's like to be on a national delegation, supporting a country in the lead up to #COP28 and advising them while on the ground to push for positive outcomes.

[Pierre Candelon @pierre_candelon]
