Trillions of dollars were made available to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences. The same is needed for climate change #COP27

The world needs bold action and it needs that action now. Our hope is that the world's leaders will not only commit to solution-based action at #COP27 but that they will also follow through 🌎

Adjustments to existing infrastructure can make a huge impact. Adding solar panels to parking lots takes up no new land, can power homes and towns, and easily moves us further down the path of renewable energy. https://t.co/kj6NzTPEPm
France just legislated that every parking lot for 80 cars or more must be covered by solar panels That’s 11GW of new solar (same as 10 new nuclear reactors) powering millions of home - zero new land needed Climate action is happening, just not at #COP27

Further solutions can be found in net-zero buildings, which produce net-zero carbon emissions on an annual basis. The simultaneous effect of removing legacy CO₂ and cutting back on current CO₂ emissions will provide maximum impact against climate change. https://t.co/8Ik0hLD4RM

Direct air capture reduces CO₂ through renewable energy, energy-from-waste, or other waste heat as energy sources. While we’re getting close to missing our global 1.5°C target removing legacy emissions from the air is still critical.

We need all possible solutions to solve the climate crisis, and proven innovation is only one way we can get to reduced emission #COP27 🧵

We can’t solve the climate crisis by solely cutting emissions; mitigation and adaptation must work together. #COP27

5️⃣ There are also darker issues at play at #COP27. Testimony and statements are trickling out of Egypt that demonstrate a less-promising end to these talks; @NaomiAKlein is dedicating her account to shine a light on what's happening on the ground 👇 https://t.co/33BvrBA9GC
🧵🚨For the duration #COP27 I’ll be doing something different here. This account will be a portal to the Egypt that is currently being covered up by some epic police-state-controlled/Coca-Cola-sponsored/Hill+Knowlton-spun greenwashing.

3️⃣ Which leads to the current situation at COP27; tech corporations now have some very influential seats at the table ($). With that, however, comes a very real expectation to provide actual solutions to the climate crisis (more $$$).
