There are over 600 #fossilfuel companies at #COP27 - while #CivilSociety is sidelined at the #climate conference.

Oil and gas industries have 636 representatives at the conference in Egypt – a rise of more than 25% on last year.

[United Nations Association - UK (UNA-UK) @UNAUK]

It is critical that #COP27 is used to take concrete action on #LossAndDamage.

Developing nations disproportionately face the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis - this must be addressed at @COP27P.

#OpenTheDoors2NGOs

[Liechtenstein UN @LiechtensteinUN]

Liechtenstein has now tabled, on behalf of 38 cosponsors, a resolution that mandates a meeting of the #UN General Assembly whenever a veto is cast in the Security Council - the #VetoInitiative. The resolution is a meaningful step to empower the GA and strengthen multilateralism.

[United Nations Association - UK (UNA-UK) @UNAUK]

UNA-UK is calling on all states to support @LiechtensteinUN's initiative on #SecurityCouncil veto use.

The proposed #VetoInitiative would increase accountability between #UNGA + the #UNSC.

[Ben Donaldson @benaldson]

✅ Increase diplomatic cost for P5 state casting a veto

✅ Enable all UN members to express their view over when UNSC paralysed

✅ Increase scrutiny of veto

✅ A step towards more inclusive multilateralism

...hope Veto Initiative is widely supported when considered by the GA
