1/25.📜It’s day thirteen of #COP27. We’re in overtime now and behind closed doors, Parties have been working with the @COP27P to find common ground on funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage.🧵 
2/25. At 12:00 today @CANInt held a press conference to give a state of play update during which we heard from @mohadow of @PowerShftAfrica , @Eddypc of @CANRacCanada, @LiShuo_GP of @GreenpeaceEAsia, @RachelCleetus of @ucsusa, and @TasneemEssop of @CANInt.
3/25. Key messages included, @RachelCleetus on the G77 and China’s continued expectations for #COP27: "Climate-vulnerable countries came with a clear ask. They want a #LossAndDamage fund under the COP and the CMA. Then we can talk about getting it operationalised."
1/14. Its day two at #COP27 and here is you #LossAndDamage focused daily thread. Today saw the World Leaders Summit in which #LossAndDamage was a hot topic and the first negotiations on the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage. 🧵
2/14. Before the World Leaders Summit @CANint held a press conference in which @mohadow of @PowerShftAfrica made it clear that #LossAndDamage is happening right now in #Africa:
3/14. Then as the World Leaders Summit began we heard from @antonioguterres the @UN Secretary-General who called for all governments to tax the windfall profits of #FossilFuel companies and redirect that money to countries suffering #LossAndDamage:
Reducing aviation is a matter of #ClimateJustice! 🌍⚖️
What are the injustices fuelled by our fossil-based mobility and economic system – and what does climate justice mean in this context?

The enormous global injustice of the climate crisis:
The countries of the Global North are responsible for 92% of climate-damaging emissions beyond the safe planetary limit of 350 ppm CO2. The Global South is responsible for just 8%, as a 2020 study by @jasonhickel has shown.

#ClimateInjustice means (amongst other things) that communities that have contributed least to the climate crisis are already suffering most from its consequences. But #ClimateJustice must be much more than sharing efforts to reduce emissions and financing adaptation.

It's 44°C in Delhi today 🥵
Yesterday, bad planning + phone blooper meant I was out in the scorching heat from 12-3pm. Tried taking a bus. The only AC one that came was full to the brim (COVID super spreader anyone?). The non AC bus was emptier but so hot. I took it. (1)

No one seems to realise that in extreme heat, COVID protocols take a backseat. This is what compounding risk looks like. At 43-44°C the heat outdoors is suffocating and a mask is the last thing you want to wear. (2)
Across the subcontinent, we have a history of living with heat. There is an almost perverse romanticism around the Indian summer. We keep water cool in earthen pots, water is kept for anyone to drink from in public spaces, vendors splash water on pavements to sit on. (3)
I'm an author on the new #ipcc report and I study climate change impacts and adaptation options in #Africa. 🧵: How bad could it get? Who is most vulnerable? How can we adapt? Here's a report summary for Africa.

Multiple African countries are the most vulnerable to climate change impacts globally, especially countries in West, Central and East Africa
@cdknetwork has factsheets coming soon for each African sub-region

Most African countries have contributed among the least to greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change.
But key development sectors in Africa already suffered widespread loss and damage attributed to human-induced climate change #climateinjustice

3/ It's a template that involves exploiting people's legitimate concerns about the destruction of the planets ecosystem. It employs careful narrative management through PR firms like @Purpose & the mainstream media. It begins with the manufacture of @GretaThunberg to serve as...
