Signed. Sealed. Delivered. The #ClimateICJAO is here! A very robust reasoning of everything we’ve fought for, and everything we’ve asked for. Read it here: bit.ly/ClimateICJAO This is #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ. This is history.

Today the world waits for adoption of the Global Action Plan on Climate Change and Health at #WHA78. As shepherd of the COP28 Declaration on Climate and Health, we hope the UAE will be among countries expressing support for immediate implementation of the GAP. @mohapuae @mofauae

The Terms of Reference for a new #UNTaxConvention have been ADOPTED by the UN General Assembly! Negotiations are set to start in February 2025 🥳

While insufficient finance commitments threaten to halt negotiations, countries had no problem in finding US$ 1.4 trillion to subsidise fossil fuels in 2022 alone. Taking externalities into account they rise to 7trillion Time to redirect funds towards a healthy, equitable future

The climate finance deal reached @COP29_AZ is an embarrassment. In Baku, self-proclaimed climate leaders have displayed sickening indifference while millions across the globe pay with their lives. #NCQG.

#COP29 #NCQG New finance text, main new bits: - Baku to Belem roadmap to $1.3 trillion. - "at least $300bn", still all sources. - "aiming at increasing" grant finance and "consider measures for increasing" bilateral climate finance to LDCs and SIDs.

Climate Action Network wholeheartedly rejects the outcome of #COP29. climatenetwork.org/2024/11/23/cop…

.@JeniMiller at #WHS2024 "At the same time that healthcare professionals were battling COVID-19, governments of high income countries were channelling COVID recovery funds into fossil fuels, driving up the risk of future pandemics"

.@daktari1 at #WHS2024. "It has taken us 28 years to discuss health at COPs." It is time that the real stories of the impacts people are facing are discussed in tangible terms.

.@daktari1 at @WHS2024 "It will take 150 years for a person in sub-Saharan Africa to emit as much as someone from Europe....Stop polluting, shift away from fossil fuels, and if you pollute, PAY".

No matter which area of climate and health you work on, a just and equitable phase out of fossil fuels is everyone's business. (3/3).

Adaptation is essential, but adaptation has limits. We simply cannot adapt to levels of warming that will result if we do not mitigate. Fossil fuels are the leading driver of climate change, and of all its health impacts. (2/3)

.@DrMariaNeira at #WHS2024 "When we tackle the root causes of climate change, there is no better vaccine to protect us." So why do fossil fuels matter for pandemic threats? (1/3)

Ahead of the #COP29 Heads of Delegation retreat, we are sending an urgent reminder that vulnerable communities are still bearing the brunt of the climate crisis! 📢We are calling for Global North countries to #PayUp $5 trillion/year for its climate debt to the Global South now!

🚩Join us today for a side event on fossil-free policymaking: a health and human rights case @GCHAlliance @JessicaBeagley @ukycc @hrw 🕓16:15 CET 🌐Berlin Room, World Conference Center Bonn

At Bonn climate talks this week, rich countries are trying to prevent #LossAndDamage from being addressed through the the new climate finance goal. What a betrayal of the agreement to set up the Loss and Damage Fund, just to ensure it stays empty. #UNFCCC #PayUp4LossAndDamage

We are not only in danger. We are the danger. The need for action is unprecedented but so is the opportunity – not just to deliver on climate, but on economic prosperity and sustainable development. Powerful words from @antonioguterres Follow ⬇️ webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1o/k…
