There are over 600 #fossilfuel companies at #COP27 - while #CivilSociety is sidelined at the #climate conference. Oil and gas industries have 636 representatives at the conference in Egypt – a rise of more than 25% on last year. https://t.co/mDqSdDgiLj

It is critical that #COP27 is used to take concrete action on #LossAndDamage. Developing nations disproportionately face the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis - this must be addressed at @COP27P. https://t.co/cUZKjEhCKf

✅ Increase diplomatic cost for P5 state casting a veto ✅ Enable all UN members to express their view over when UNSC paralysed ✅ Increase scrutiny of veto ✅ A step towards more inclusive multilateralism ...hope Veto Initiative is widely supported when considered by the GA
There are important initiatives gaining traction that seek to increase accountability & scrutiny of the veto. One such proposal, led by @LiechtensteinUN, is “The Veto Initiative” which enhances the role of the General Assembly in evaluating/responding to P5 veto-use in the UNSC
