🚨 This year, despite the talks taking place in a #LossAndDamage era, a time of aggravated food, energy and health crises that are directly connected to the #ClimateCrisis, leaders seemed unable to close this critical gap.

A fund for loss and damage is essential – but it’s not an answer if the climate crisis washes a small island state off the map – or turns an entire African country to desert.
The world still needs a giant leap on climate ambition.
"The initial reaction from many has been one of disappointment and worry at the pace of progress – with so much to be resolved, it is unlikely the conference will finish on time."

Today is Biodiversity Day at #COP27.
For far too long, the interconnected crises of climate change and biodiversity loss have been seen as separate issues. We can no longer afford to see them that way.
