2/13. The #AR6 Synthesis Report and it's Summary for Policymakers will condense all of the scientific evidence from the reports of the @IPCC_CH working group's and all special reports published between 2018 and 2022.
3/13. For example the @IPCC_CH #AR6 Working Group II report made the following key points on #LossAndDamage very clear:
1⃣Human-induced #ClimateChange has already caused #LossAndDamage to both nature and people;

1/9. 🌀Devastating tropical #CycloneFreddy, which has made landfall twice 🤯, has caused #LossAndDamage in #Madagascar🇲🇬, #Mozambique 🇲🇿 and #Maliwi 🇲🇼 including 220+ deaths, whilst breaking records as the longest lasting cyclone.
2/9. In #Madagascar🇲🇬, at least 17 people have died due to #CycloneFreddy (7 from the first landfall on 21 February and 10 from the latest rains on 5 and 6 March), and nearly 299,000 people have affected.
3/9. In #Mozambique 🇲🇿, #CycloneFreddy has seen some provinces received as much rain in 24 hours as they would usually experience in one month. As a result 10 people have died and 14 have been injured, 1,900 houses have been damaged or destroyed.

2/18. 📢GOOD NEWS: #COP27 has established a #LossAndDamage fund! Following courageous and consistent championing for 30+ years by countries on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis. This is a historic moment that sets us on a pathway to #ClimateJustice.
3/18. During this time, climate-vulnerable countries were supported by the tireless efforts of #CivilSociety who have and will continue to demand that polluters #PayUp4LossAndDamage. We’ve put our heart and soul into this for decades now and we are not stopping anytime soon!
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."
#COP27: In the wee hours of this morning, @COP27P released a new, lengthy, draft decision text.
The cover decision is the COP's political signal to the world in response to the #ClimateCrisis.

Spoiler alert: it's NOT good.

Spoiler alert: it's NOT good.
A 🧵 with our takeaways👇
A draft dropped around 06:30 local time and it has ballooned from 2 pages to 20, an unusual choice (and it is a choice) by the @COP27p with 36 hours left, making it FAR harder for civil society to have a voice in influencing the final decision.
Ironically (not really 😱)the text includes the 1.5C target & references to science but then doesn't follow what experts & academics have been saying for years:
#FossilFuels are the biggest threat to 1.5C & ALL fossil fuels must be phased out rapidly to address the #ClimateCrisis

LIVE FROM #COP27: What's needed from the 39 countries & institutions who promised to #StopFundingFossils abroad by the end of this year?

@vanessa_vash @LaurenceTubiana @AsianPeoplesMvt @GrupoGFLAC The Glasgow Statement was a bright spot of COP26, as the 1st international pledge to deal not just with coal finance but oil & gas as well!
If signatories follow through, it will directly shift at least USD 28 billion a year from fossils to clean 🌅 iisd.org/publications/r…

@vanessa_vash @LaurenceTubiana @AsianPeoplesMvt @GrupoGFLAC This public finance matters because it shapes our future energy systems, often tipping the ⚖️ on which projects get built, and which don't. But instead of building a just, renewable future wealthy countries are still using it to lock in more fossils! priceofoil.org/g20-at-a-cross…
1/20.📜It’s day nine and the second day of the second week of #COP27 and here is our #LossAndDamage focused daily thread. Today we have seen a #PayUp4LossAndDamage action and negotiations on the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage and on funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage.🧵
2/20.This morning, @anuahsa, The #Maldives Minister of Environment, #ClimateChange & Technology, spoke to youths at the @CYPavilion to stress the need for a “mosaic of solutions” to address #LossAndDamage including an operating entity under the financial mechanism of the @UNFCCC.
3/20. “We do need a “mosaic of solutions” to address #LossAndDamage. But first and foremost, we need to establish a dedicated funding facility under the @UNFCCC system, where all parties have equal equitable access, and predictable access, to #LossAndDamage finance.” @anuahsa
Remember:
Pakistan climate chaos
- 1,600 dead
- 13,000 injured
- 3 million children at risk
- 1+ million livestock perished
- 2+ million houses damaged
- 7+ million acres of crop area hit
How many journalists will remind us all that rich countries must #PayUp4LossAndDamage ?

1. Do not expect unrelenting climate-extinction coverage in the mass media. Still, we can analyse what there is, and support independent journalism.
2. We are in an extraordinary situation. Keeping up with what is happening is no easy task. We can keep informing ourselves and each other.

La Corne de l'Afrique rencontre sa pire sécheresse depuis 40 ans, nouvel exemple des dégâts irréversibles du changement climatique.
Les pays riches doivent débloquer sans attendre des financements pour ces pertes et dommages.

Après 4 saisons de pluies défaillantes, la situation est critique en Éthiopie, Somalie et au Kenya : décès de millions de têtes de bétail, récoltes détruites, points d'eau asséchés…
Une situation qui sera de plus en plus fréquente avec le changement climatique.

Ces pays, qui sont en première ligne face à ces impacts, sont pourtant parmi les moins responsables de la crise climatique.
Pour les pays les + riches, aider les pays en développement n'est pas une question de solidarité mais bien de dette climatique.

Dear @ClimateEnvoy @JohnKerry,
Here's my 10-point response to your intervention at the @nytimes Climate Forward conference at #UNGA
1. Thank you for acknowledging that #LossAndDamageFinance requires trillions of US$, as experts estimated.

2. You now agree "in all honesty" that the most important thing to do is to mitigate to prevent #LossAndDamage, and the next most important thing is to help people adapt.
3. But, the graph clearly shows that the US failed to reduce its CO2 emissions, since @UNFCCC in 1992.

4. US gave 1 of US$3b of #ClimateFinance committed to @theGCF for #mitigation & #adaptation - nowhere close to its fair share.
5. Since 2013, I've seen the US blocking every single discussion on #LossAndDamageFinance, by arm-twisting and threatening developing nations.

1/8. 🚨#Pakistan is seeing massive #LossAndDamage from #ClimateChange as rainfall 2.87 X higher than the national 30-year average leads to catastrophic Moonsoon floods in 116 districts.🧵
2/8. As of the 26th of August, @UNOCHA reported that #LossAndDamage totaled 218k houses destroyed, 452K houses damaged, 2M acres of crops impacted, 774k livestock lost, 1343 injured, and a death toll of 937 lives.

1/13 Depuis + de 30 ans, les petits Etats insulaires se battent pour que les pays membres de la @UNFCCC admettent que réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre ou s’adapter ne sera pas suffisant. Certains impacts climatiques, les pertes et dommages, sont déjà irréversibles.
2/13 Ils peuvent être soit la conséquence de phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes tels que des ouragans, cyclones, inondations ou feux de forêt, soit le résultat de phénomènes à occurrence lente comme la montée du niveau des mers, l’érosion côtière ou les sécheresses.
Good to hear @nicolasturgeo reaffirm 🏴’s commitment to do everything necessary in the months and years ahead to end climate injustice, including gender injustice, during her address to the @WRIClimate and @IPCC_CH event on #LossAndDamage this #InternationalWomensDay
"🏴 broke a taboo at #COP26 by committing for the 1st time ever funding to address #LossAndDamage. Wallonia and philanthropies followed suit. We need to keep working to ensure the issue continues to move up the climate agenda" says @NicolaSturgeon 💪💪🏽💪🏿#PayUp4LossAndDamage
"We need more countries, particularly the richest and biggest countries, to act [on #LossAndDamage]." @NicolaSturgeon via @WRIClimate on the release of the #IPCC #AR6 WGII report and the need for #LossAndDamage finance at #COP27.
