Global Alliance for a Green New Deal

Time to act now! @GGNDAlliance calls for new IMF-issued SDRs channelled to poorest nations, elimination of IMF surcharges, regulation of illicit financial flows & wealth tax on very richest. #NewGlobalFinancingPact globalgreennewdeal.org/news/parisfina…

Opinion: Neo-colonial #ISDS, abused, biased, costly & grossly unfair. Developing country governments need to be much more wary of ISDS and its implications, and should urgently withdraw from existing commitments. #FTA #Finance ➡️twn.my/title2/FTAs/in…

Yesterday was an appalling day for British Parliament. It was much, much worse for the people of Gaza, who are dying slowly and painfully from dehydration, disease and starvation. We must end this systematic slaughter — the existence of the Palestinian people is at stake.

Boycotts work. This peaceful form of protest led to transformative change in our country. Today we remember the Montgomery Bus Boycott. We honor every civil rights activist who participated for their courage and commitment to justice.

Climate Change to slash Africa's GDP by 7.1% #Climatechange will drive 200 million Africans into severe hunger, slash revenue from crops by 30% and cut average gross domestic product per capita by 7.1%, a new study shows. Read: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Beyond all of today's chaos in Parliament, one thing remains totally clear: the people of Gaza desperately need an immediate ceasefire. And that's what our Government should be pushing for.

The fact that the Western ruling classes treat both climate breakdown and plausible genocide with such extraordinary nonchalance demonstrates once again that they are entirely comfortable with mass suffering if it serves the interests of capital and geopolitical hegemony.

Good news🎉The #UK joins #France #Germany #Spain #Netherlands in withdrawing from the #EnergyCharterTreaty🛢️ But it is not enough. All Europe🇪🇺needs to quit that "#fossilfuel protection treaty" and support a "climate protection" one➡️#FossilFuelTreaty theguardian.com/environment/20…

🗣️Representantes de @EsRebelCientif nos cuentan su situación y la persecución que sufren por defender el planeta. 🔥Es un escándalo que los gobiernos se centren en perseguir a quienes denuncian su inacción en vez de tomar medidas urgentes para combatir la #CrisisClimática.

It's time to put our money where our mouth is. We need to double down on our commitment to climate action and phase out fossil fuels.

“#Adaptation needs more than just good intentions; it needs a robust framework that protects the lives and livelihoods of our peoples, communities and our ecosystems.” Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 for the @LDCChairUNFCCC at the closing plenary of #COP28.

Global Alliance member @saberhc: "We cannot compromise on it; lives & livelihoods are on the line. The lack of #Adaptation finance is causing more #LossAndDamage."

“1.5°C is the absolute limit we can go to. The better we are at keeping temperature to 1.5°C the lighter the #LossAndDamage cost will be and the lower the #Adaptation burden.” @saberhc for Bangladesh 🇧🇩 at the close of #COP28.

Samoa, on behalf of @AOSISChair, say GST decision gavelled through when they were not in the room. "This process has failed us." Saying they are *not* happy with text + in particular para 26 on science. #COP28

“It is not enough to reference the science then ignore what the science tells us to do.” @SamoaUN 🇼🇸 for @AOSISChair responds to the adoption of the #GlobalStocktake text at the close of #COP28.

Spirit of coalition building, alignment and solidarity has been noticeably stronger ⁦@COP28_UAE⁩ and a huge thank you to the Hon. Ministers.

1/12. At this critical hour of #COP28, the #GlobalStocktake text must reflect that we are now in the era of #LossAndDamage. #Mitigation is critical to avoid #LossAndDamage. #Adaptation is essential to minimise #LossAndDamage, and addressing #LossAndDamage completes the package.🧵

1/4. “#FossilFuels account for 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions. They are the problem. If we do not address the root cause of the #ClimateCrisis then everything else is a distraction.” @vanessa_vash responds to the latest version of the #GlobalStocktake text at #COP28.

As @COP28_UAE is in final stages of negotiations, a very timely and persuasive Op-Ed from Hon. Prime Minister of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 #SheikhHasina on #ClimateFinance … My country needs climate finance now to face difficult years ahead context.news/climate-risks/…
