As heads of state & government and high-level ministers meet at #COP27, where is the urgency? Where is the leadership? Robust & rights-respecting #climateaction requires the full and meaningful participation of #CivilSociety. Can they make meaningful progress without us?

COP26 was a missed opportunity for leaders of the Global North to step up & make bold contributions towards climate justice. At #COP27, failure on the part of developed countries to systematically provide #LossAndDamage finance will no longer be ignored. #PayUp4LossAndDamage

That's Sr. Mary Olivia Clifford trying on the baseball glove! She was the Administrator of MercyFirst (formerly St. Mary of the Angels Home) in Syosset, NY from 1966-1978. Today our student gymnasium in named in her honor! #WorldSeries
⚾️ Because it's World Series week, we're throwing it back to 1976 when three Sisters of Mercy met New York Mets players Bruce Bosclair (#4) and Mike Phillips (#5). ⚾️
