@DCDPW our supercan broke back in January and we paid for a new one, but have been waiting for delivery for over two months! Every time we call it’s “escalated” but still no can- and no trash pick up possibilities. What can I do? Thx!

Important reminder amidst all the press on the loss and damage finance facility to keep our eyes and efforts on the critical goal of decarbonization and keeping us to 1.5 degrees of warming.

“If we don't keep 1.5 alive, for countries like #Palau, it will mean that we would have traded #LossAndDamage, money we should not have had to ask for, for our ability to stay in our homes.” #Palau during the Closing Plenary of #COP27.

It’s solutions day at #COP27 I attended first ministerial meeting on urbanization and climate change: recognizing #cities at the forefront of #climateaction, though only 10% of climate finance reaches local communities. #MultilevelAction is key to solutions that stick.

The spirit of adaptive management at its finest: hosting a #cop27 panel outside the venue in the hallway when the access key is missing. Still a great discussion about how #nature is at the heart of #locally #led #adaptation. The show goes on.

I have been really enjoying all the art here at #COP27: especially these reused materials portraits - inspiring and haunting reminders that people are at the core of #climateaction (from @denizsagdicart)

Humanitarian response is key part of #climate #adaptation and community #resilience. @USAID ‘s Silvia Calderon reminding us that there’s a responsibility to make sure relief funding goes beyond the immediate and takes long-term into account. @USAIDSavesLives #COP27

People are central to #climateaction and must be driving all solutions. This is prevailing theme at #cop27 . And, for adaptation and L&D, it’s critical to remember that we are not only talking physical risk/loss but also risks to, and capacities of, people and communities.

“With loss and damage we most often consider physical destruction. However, we must consider social and non-economic losses and damages too – ones felt keenly by millions of women and girls.” Mary Robinson today on #LossAndDamage at a #COP27 #Gender Day event w/ @GCUclimatejust.

Really inspiring first day at #cop27 . Excited to be working with the incredible team at the @CJPavilion incl. @DrBobBullard himself to listen, learn and take action to link climate #adaptation, Justice, and local humanitarian response & recovery. More to come!

…& Margaret Kim from @goldstandard emphasizing the need to embed impact measurement at every stage of project and deal development - starting from idea generation. Learning about advancements in scale and collaboration in leveraging blended finance for #climateaction at #COP27

“The financial system is not fit for purpose”. - Vito Dellerba @CDPQInfra. There is an entire ecosystem shift needed - from project development to delivery - to scale private investment in #climateaction, and the shift is underway. #cop27 with @MollyHellmuth

While I am energized and excited to see the Inflation Reduction Bill pass this weekend, it comes with a price for Southwest Virginia. This pipeline runs right through the hills and valleys I grew up in, and many have been fighting it for years. nytimes.com/2022/08/07/cli…

We identify 2 propositions for increased resilience: Over time, 1) the well-being of the communities should increase, and 2) the magnitude of recovery from shocks should decrease, approaching zero. These propositions are robust to a wide range of shocks & SES.
