Failures at #COP27: ❌ Inability to explicitly confront fossil fuels (indeed, oil & gas welcomed into the room by Egyptian Presidency). ❌ Carbon market loopholes will enable corporate greenwash. ❌ $100 billion commitment remains unmet, primarily due to shortfall from the US.

Successes at #COP27: âś… Loss & damage fund focused on particularly vulnerable countries. âś… Demand for MDBs to define a new vision & operational model equal to the climate crisis. âś… Nuanced debate about responsibility & vulnerability beyond the developed/developing dichotomy.
