It’s been a long day. Among many speeches from world leaders today at COP, @miaamormottley’s words have stuck with me: “We created a vaccine in 2 years, we’ve been to the moon. Why shouldn’t we be able to do the same for climate change?”

How can we drive a just, green transition for peace & prosperity in the Arab States? 1⃣Enhanced NDCs & new financing 2⃣Strategic investments in renewables 3⃣Scaling up local innovations in climate action Tune into our #COP27 event today 👉 bit.ly/3FZmtZx
