Incredible effort by the #ICJAO4Climate Core Group (๐ป๐บ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฉ๐จ๐ท๐ซ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ต๐น๐ท๐ด๐ผ๐ธ๐ธ๐ฑ๐ธ๐ฌ๐บ๐ฌ๐ป๐ณ) and UN member states, after we issued the L doc we had 105 co-sponsors! Appreciate the active engagement here at the UN during consultations, as well as Vanuatu's diplomatic envoys around the world not to mention civil society and youth groups advocating for this important issue. Herculean team effort to arrive at this milestone! @odo_tevi@RRegenvanu@pisfcc@WY4CJ

The #COP26 outcome is a compromise, reflecting the interests, contradictions & state of political will in the world today.
It's an important step, but it's not enough.
It's time to go into emergency mode.
The climate battle is the fight of our lives & that fight must be won.
My message to young people, indigenous communities, women leaders, all those leading on #ClimateAction:
I know you might be disappointed. But we're in the fight of our lives & this fight must be won.
Never give up.
Never retreat.
Keep pushing forward.
I am with you.
#COP26
Prof Charles Spillane @RyanInstitute Director & @IFIAD_IRELAND Chair says ~20 years of climate change negotiations pre @COP26, yet need to reduce emissions by 40% by 2030 & net-zero by 2050. Carbon clock ticking - do political leaders recognise urgency?

Singapore is putting nature at the heart of construction - replacing wall and windows with trees and plants bringing people closer to nature in the process.
We have so many solutions. Stop the denials. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#Climate#Nature#rewilding#BuildBackBetter
Only with equality for all women can we achieve our #GlobalGoals.
We must dismantle the power structures that allow discrimination, violence and economic hardship to keep one half of humanity down.
We must insist on gender equality, everywhere, now.
I welcome @POTUS Joe Bidenโs announcement to increase international public climate finance to $11.4 billion a year.
I also welcome President Xiโs announcement that China will end financing of coal fired power plants abroad & redirect support to green & low carbon energy.

I agree with you on this one. What's the point of having new laws when we still have the same poeple, same weak institutions with the same resources and attitude that's going to implement and enforce the laws?
