Advancing Climate Adaptation After COP30! At the #JapanBrazilDialogue this week, our Chair urged for Adaptation Indicators that: ✅remain voluntary ✅consider national capacity constraints ✅and are 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.

New findings show that sea level rise may be advancing higher than previously documented levels, which are based on satellite data and modelling. Small islands could be in an even more perilous situation than previously projected. Read more: tinyurl.com/ywpmzwxt

We know that the competing crises facing our world are extremely overwhelming. Yet, we cannot afford to sit back and wait for the world to change. Not when there are clear action pathways that can steer us in a better direction. #ActNow #ClimateAction

Ambition without Implementation is just an empty promise. Every fraction of a degree of warming over 1.5°C pushes us closer to the point of no return. Enhanced mitigation implementation is essential to reduce the losses we are already facing. #climatechange #environment #future

It's time to double down on the #ParisAgreement goal! Countries' efforts have ensured that warming has been limited, however we are nowhere close to the zone that reduces devastating risks. Opportunities for emissions reductions are ample. We MUST get our world back on track!

How does #GenderActionPlan support inclusive #climatefinance? 🛣️ Workplan to increase gender-responsive climate finance. 📊 Strengthens use of gender-disaggregated data. 🤲🏽 Promotes inclusion of underrepresented groups. 🫱🏾 Builds capacity to access and manage climate funds.

Under the @UNFCCC , the newly adopted #GenderActionPlan has the potential to uplift vulnerable #women and girls by positioning them as central actors in #climateaction. With focused #finance, we can break the cycle and actively address systemic inequalities.

AOSIS calls for an end to the structural bias that impedes small islands' development. At the Economic & Social Council Special Mtg on Financial Integrity, we warned that 🌍 financial & transparency frameworks are contributing to many SIDS' exclusion from the financial system.

At COP30, AOSIS pushed for the highest ambition on the #Gender Action Plan. Our #women and children are vital drivers of development, and #climateaction suffers when they are left behind. Recognise the unique risks women face. Their empowerment strengthens us all. #equality

Strengthening International Alliances to Uplift Small Islands Our AOSIS Chair, Her Excellency Ilana Seid 🇵🇼, was joined by previous Chair, His Excellency Dr. Pa'olelei Luteru 🇼🇸 on a visit to Brussels for key meetings on our 2026 priorities for small island developing states.

BBNJ is live. Now the real work begins: implementation that protects biodiversity and delivers for SIDS. 🌊✊ #BBNJAgreement #SIDSLead

𝐀𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐒 2026 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 🌊 𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐀𝐍 The #BBNJ Agreement is about to enter into force! We will continue to push for effective implementation. On 🌬️𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄 and 📈 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐏𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 greater political will is vital!

At #COP30 the Belém Gender Action Plan was adopted, guiding #gender-responsive #climateaction for 2026–2034. MOI is key. All people must have a fair chance at a better future. #Equality #EqualRights #ClimateChange #climate #Justice #genderequality #womenempowerment #indigenous

This was our most inclusive cycle yet! ✅ 25 Countries applied (from 20 in 2024). ✅ 4 Missions are hosting a Fellow for the first time. ✅ 79% of applicants were female. We look forward to welcoming you to New York in February for an impactful 2026! 👏👏 #SIDSLead #ClimateAction

📣 We are delighted to name the 10 professionals selected for the 2026 ITALY-AOSIS Fellowship! Supported by the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security, this cohort represents the future of diplomacy for Small Island Developing States. 🌊🌍 See the list of Fellows⬇️

It is a new year, and we are rejuvenated in our mission to engage in the pathways for accelerated action and implementation. The Global Implementation Accelerator and Belém Mission to 1.5°C are two such initiatives, but can only succeed if countries commit with genuine ambition.

From our AOSIS family to yours, we wish you all the best for this special season! 🎄🎉🙏🏽 #MerryChristmas #SeasonsGreetings

At #COP30, the Mutirão decision emphasized the need to limit warming to 1.5°C, and referenced the IPCC as the source of the best available science. This must be reflected across the board. To drive effective action, #science must be at the core of #climate decisions.
