At the close of #COP27 in Egypt, Mary Robinson remarks on the outcome: “In a year of multiple crises and climate shocks, the historic outcome on loss and damage at COP27 shows international cooperation is possible, even in these testing times.” 🧵 1/5 #LossAndDamage

#COP27 may be over, but the fight for #climatejustice is ongoing. We must continue to promote a #FossilFuelTreaty & #JustTransition to mitigate & adapt to #climatechange impacts. We must ensure that wealthy countries #payup4lossanddamage, & that #HumanRights remain central.

🚨 In the last hours at #COP27 Parties proposed a new agreement on #CarbonMarkets that does not include any meaningful references to #HumanRights & Indigenous Peoples rights & could undermine ambition & effective #ClimateAction. 🗣️ This text MUST BE REJECTED.

🌏We won the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll. It has been adopted by @UN_HRC
#UNGA by 150+ states — How come Parties at #COP27 stripped the reference to the right from the draft COP political decision? Put it back in the text! The #ClimateCrisis is a #HumanRights crisis!

#COP27 update 1230pm Still no sign of new "cover text"… …negotiators, NGOs & others are furiously positioning themselves via media briefings… …meanwhile the most important texts remain unresolved Keep your eye on the ball with our handy tracker: https://t.co/sEYWJQHnJI

The longer the #COP27 negotiations continue, the more inequitable the process becomes. The exact opposite of what we need. There must be a fair and equitable phase out of fossil fuels plus loss and damage funding. Nothing less can be called a success.
It is very true that every COP runs into extra time, when most of the vulnerable developing countries negotiators have to leave, and when they get home, and see the result they see everything they fought for has been deleted as they were not present at the end! This is deliberate

The Holy See is taking the floor at #COP27 for the first time as a full party to the #ParisAgreement and the #UNFCCC. This offers a unique opportunity to inject into the formal negotiations Pope Francis' moral leadership on the #ClimateEmergency, 🧵 1/5

Biodiversity loss & ecosystem degradation are manifestations of #climatechange #LossAndDamage, impacting the health & well-being of people & planet. Governments must break down silos to #PayUp4LossAndDamage & implement solutions for biodiversity at #COP27 & #COP15 in Montreal.

Critical finance for #LossAndDamage is key to achieving a #JustTransition & protecting those most vulnerable. The concept of Loss & Damage can no longer fly under the radar when we call for transition to more sustainable, renewable & inclusive energy. #COP27

CSOs, especially people from affected communities, have played a pivotal role in framing the climate action agenda, especially in supporting & amplifying the agendas of vulnerable & progressive countries in their demands for acknowledgement & funding of #LossAndDamage. #COP27
