Besides “urging” and “reiterating” responsibilities, including to meet the 100b target and more than double adaptation $ by 2025, the truth is that most finance decisions need action outside of the UNFCCC system. Though the text could hv been clearer on targets.Missed opportunity

The world just adopted a historic decision at #COP28 to set in motion an irreversible, accelerated transition away from fossil fuels. With that, we have achieved what we set out to do: keep 1.5 within reach and mark the beginning of the end of fossil fuels.

BREAKING new #COP28 stocktake text Fossil fuel "phase out" is GONE Whole energy package is loose "actions that cld inc" ➡️refs renewables, CCS for "efforts twds substitution of unabated fossil fuels" ➡️loose 2050 timeline ➡️no methane target unfccc.int/sites/default/…

My comment on the draft decision text on the Loss and Damage Fund "The new draft decision text on operationalizing the Loss and Damage Fund mirrors the Transitional Committee's final recommendations. However, this decision falls short of fully addressing developing nations' concerns, including the proposal to designate the World Bank as an interim host. "While the decision’s adoption at COP28 is likely, it is crucial to simultaneously enhance its financial scope—necessitating hundreds of billions of dollars annually—and establish a process for initial capitalisation and periodic replenishment. This step is essential to efficiently channel funds to those battling climate catastrophes. Moreover, the ongoing Global Stocktake (GST) and discussions about the new climate finance goal must address these significant gaps. "The World Bank has, in principle, agreed to the conditions proposed by developing countries, which include enhanced access and independent decision-making for the fund. It must be held accountable to revise its policies to meet these commitments and to effectively deliver finance to vulnerable communities and countries during its tenure. Any deviation from these commitments must result in the World Bank losing its role as the interim host of the new fund." - Harjeet Singh, head of global political strategy at @CANIntl Draft Decision: unfccc.int/documents/6342… #COP28 #COP28UAE #LossAndDamage PC: IISD/ENB - Kiara Worth @kiaraworth

This is the 'Volkswagen 2015' moment for the #COP28 Presidency.   Caught red handed, the COP Presidency has no other option but to now unequivocally step up the transparency, responsibility and accountability with which they lead the process. [1/2] bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
