#COP28 #CMA5 changed the adaptation discourse from responding to "what are we adapting to" to "what are we adapting towards?"". We now have clear landing zones describing a transformed future resilient world. #ClimateCrisis #climateresilience #climateadaptation @ResilienceFron1

We tend to drown in the complexity & our inability to bend the global curve of fossil-fuel emissions. Here is the obvious 1st step to succeed - stop subsidizing oil, gas & coal. 7 trillion USD. Almost 10% of the global economy… Let, at least, clean energy compete on fair terms.

I urge the world to carefully study the #GlobalStocktake synthesis report.
It is a report card of our collective #climateaction. And not a good one.
#COP28 is our chance to make a dramatic course correction. Let's seize that chance.

Great to hear insights from 🇧🇷 Minister @GuajajaraSonia
We have much to learn from Indigenous Peoples and centuries long knowledge they’ve accumulated of living in harmony with nature
I’m committed to ensuring their voices are heard in the @UNFCCC process

We are pleased to announce that we will be working closely with @IIPFCC towards a #COP28 Thematic Day for Indigenous Peoples on Dec 5.
As stewards of nature, Indigenous Peoples play a vital role in addressing climate change through intergenerational knowledge and practices.
Today we are celebrating our day & the world is in a tipping point of climate disasters where we are the solution & we must be recognised.
@IIPFCC welcomes COP28 engagement w/ #indigenouspeoples at ACTO & pleased to announce we're working to bring great visibility to @COP28_UAE
