In the end - with 2 days delay - the #COP25 closes - the #GAP Gender Action Plan has been adopted, Loss and Damage #WIM includes #humanrights and good news - a bad market mechanisms has NOT been adopted! Of course much more was hoped for in #climatecrisis -but better than feared!

Its impressive that young people are taking action through, among other things, climate advocacy. Thanks to @IYCM for the conversation. Don’t stop now - you have my support. #TimeForAction

Children are the least responsible for climate change.
Yet they will bear the greatest burden of its impact.
Without urgent action, a whole generation is at risk.

In some countries it is illegal to #schoolstrike4climate. That makes our responsibility, we who can strike, even bigger.
We children shouldn’t have to do this. But since most adults are not doing anything we have to.

This is what we have to do. And please note that this graph doesn’t include the aspect of equity or climate justice (clearly stated in the Paris agreement)which is necessary to make it work on a global scale. Please take a look and do the math yourself. xitter.cf/rahmstorf/status/10707…
See how easily we could have solved the climate crisis if we had started in 2000! Only 4% reduction per year. Now we need 18% per year. You can thank climate deniers, lobby groups and cowardly politicians for this delay. From Global Carbon Project, folk.uio.no/roberan/GCB2018.…

Die Rede der 15jährigen Aktivistin @GretaThunberg am Klimagipfel hat Schweizer Schülerinnen und Schüler inspiriert. Auch sie streiken für mehr Klimaschutz.

At COP the countries are making a text that will be the decision from the conference. This is an analysis Chris from @ClimateTracking did after a night of negotiations. The final text is not done and it looks like the conference will not end today.
Learning about the situation with indigenous people and territories in the Amazon area of Brazil in the #COP24 Climate Hub - nice to hear Sonia’s perspective - a really inspiring indigenous youth climate activist raising her voice! 📣🙌
