The difference between 1.5°C & 3°C global warming means vastly different scenarios for our future.

New UN Climate Change report finds countries' current national climate plans are not enough to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C & protect our future. unfccc.int/news/climate-p…

Implementation😐

Our delegations have begun to arrive in Egypt, a week before the start of some of the most pivotal negotiations in determining action on the climate crisis.

We will be united and strong in pleading our case for a facility to fund #LossAndDamage for our vulnerable states.

As we near #COP27 , I explored the issue of #LossandDamage for BBC Future

What if we lived in a world where polluters really did pay for the harm they have caused?

We identify with the views of CARICOM Secretariat that COP27 is the 'last global political moment in 2022 to recover the 1.5-degree narrative and to mark a turning point for ambition and for action especially as the world confronts multiple crises all at once.'

Goal of limiting global heating to 1.5C ‘more fragile’ than ever, says Cop27 chair | Cop27 | The ⁦The Guardian⁩ with ⁦Fiona Harvey⁩ theguardian.com/environment/20…

🌎🍃 Today we continue our #ThrowbackThursday and focus on climate justice as we look ahead to #COP27 .

#LossAndDamage delays development. #Islands bear
the disproportionate burden of a #ClimateCrisis we did not cause, and our great potential is delayed while recovering from disaster.
#WeNeedLDFinance for sustainable recovery, urgently.

1. During our press panel today with Indigenous Climate Action, Greenpeace, AOSIS, Unifor, Nature Québec our message was clear: The UN Climate Change Synthesis Report showed we are heading towards a 2.5C of warming. Something disastrous for people, the economy and the environment

The #COP27 #LossAndDamage response proposal from AOSIS demanding a fit-for-purpose fund is revolutionary in its inclusion of representation from civil society to have a voice and ensure funding is being channeled at local levels and where it’s most needed.
- Rueanna Haynes

We are clearly on the wrong track and need to do better.

Our planet is under serious threat and the inaction of a few countries increases the risk for survival of island nations.

On the current path, we therefore must ramp up our demands for a #LossAndDamage funding facility.

Tune in tomorrow at 11amET as our AOSIS lead negotiator for finance Michai Robertson shares insights on our way ahead for #LossAndDamage at #COP27

Starting now! Join us as we present to you SEVEN of our 2022 #GLISPAFellows and their amazing work in conservation and activism.

In the Cook #Islands , cyclones and rising temperatures
damage crops and decrease water availability. Islanders are forced to leave their homes and livelihoods behind.
#WeNeedLDFinance #LossAndDamage Facility now
to aid where adaptation is not enough.

#ClimateCrisis

Next month's COP27 inches us closer to an outcome on #LossAndDamage that #AOSIS has been struggling to achieve for too long now.

The wait is far more burdensome for many families still struggling to rebuild after a destructive climatic event.

#WeNeedLDFinance

Today Vanuatu is delighted to announce that we are working with a core group of countries including 🇦🇬🇧🇩🇨🇷🇫🇲🇩🇪🇱🇮🇳🇿🇼🇸🇸🇬🇺🇬🇻🇳 focused on the #ICJAO4Climate and developing the draft resolution and legal questions which will be released in the next few weeks

The voices of island nations remain as one, especially today on the occasion of International Day of Climate Action.

As we head towards COP27, we are fully mobilised behind the need for developed countries to address the most urgent issue of #LossAndDamage .

#WeNeedLDFinance

A must read that serves to reinforce our earnest appeal for meaningful action on #LossAndDamage at next month's COP27
