Last night I checked into the emergency department at my local hospital*. I saw firsthand what has happened to the NHS. However much you read, it doesn't prepare you for the terrible reality. This thread tells a now-ordinary but - in this rich nation - almost unbelievable story.

Such a privilege to be part of this moment. A #LossAndDamage fund is passed at #COP27. Very emotional after this long, long fight for climate justice. ✊🌍❤️

“I invite the CMA to adopt agenda item funding arrangements for responding to #LossAndDamage. I hear no objections. It is so decided.” I am still in shock at how this monumental outcome has been possible, finally the basis for polluter pays mechanism takes a step closer. #Cop27

“The establishment of a #LossAndDamage fund is not charity. It is a down payment on our shared futures. It is a down payment on #ClimateJustice.” H.E @sherryrehman of #Pakistan on behalf of the G77 and China at the Closing Plenary of #COP27.

As we start week two I think this @larutadelclima image neatly sums up where we are on #LossAndDamage at #COP27 . Clearly a lot more work needed.

⚡HAPPENING NOW AT #COP27!⚡️ 📢"What do we want? #LossAndDamage Finance! When do we want it? Now! 🚨#CivilSociety has #FloodTheCOP27 to demand that #Polluters #PayUp4LossAndDamage! There can be NO #ClimateJustice without #LossAndDamageFinance! ⚖️

1/1.⚡️BREAKING: #NewZealand 🇳🇿announces $20m of #LossAndDamage finance at #COP27! @jamespeshaw called on developed countries to “step up and provide support to minimise and address their #LossAndDamage from #ClimateChange”. We hope the new pledge is new and additional finance!

Now that #LossAndDamageFinance is on the #COP27 agenda, dear Parties, this does NOT mean you can sit back and relax! ⏰️ You have 12 days to come up with a decision text creating a L&D finance facility. The 🌎 is watching you! #PayUp4LossAndDamage ➡️climatenetwork.org/cop-27/eco-new…

A new report by @LossDamageYouth released just days before #COP27 looks at #LossAndDamage from the perspective of young people worldwide and calls for urgent action from global political leaders.

1/10.📜NEW BRIEF: “What does a #HumanRights-based approach to addressing #LossAndDamage look like?: Key demands for the outcomes of #COP27 at the intersection of #LossAndDamage and #HumanRights”. 🧵 🔗Get it here in English, French, Spanish and Arabic: lossanddamagecollaboration.org/stories/what-d…

Oil giant @Equinor_UK will pass 91% of the cost of developing the Rosebank oil field to the UK public amounting to an overall loss to the taxpayer: no better example of the UK govt's deeply flawed approach to our energy affordability (& climate) crises: theguardian.com/business/2022/… 🧵

Not content with an embarrassingly weak windfall tax (the Shell CEO is the latest to suggest taxing them more in a social crisis might be a good idea), the UK govt is now hell-bent on rolling over completely for the O&G industry. THREAD theguardian.com/politics/2022/… /1

Join me, @daisydunnesci and @LeoHickman for our #LossAndDamage webinar at 2:30pm BST today. It will be your opportunity to put Qs to some of the best people working in this area including @SaleemulHuq @InezaGrrace @harjeet11 and @BakhtaouiInes ahead of #COP27 See you there!

The government just ditched the two most strident climate compatibility tests because @shell and @bp don't like them. These same companies colluded to cover up the truth about climate change for decades... but they must know what's best, right? thetimes.co.uk/article/oil-fi…

After the demonstration, members of the Make Polluters Pay Coalition had an audience with the Danish Ambassador to the UK to discuss the recent financial pledge by the Danish Government for climate-induced loss and damage 👇👇
