So far, the #IMF and #WB have repeated over and over their aspirations for change. On Sunday we’ll see how serious they are about reforming the financial architecture, when the board will decide on key issues to move the global economy forward. Thread here🧵#IMFMeetings

“I want to continue to live in the Maldives, I want my 2-year-old girl to grow up in the Maldives…We have to keep 1.5 alive. We have to phase out #FossilFuels. We have just 86 months to fix this.” H.E @anuahsa, for the #Maldives, at the Closing Plenary of #COP27
9 years ago, civil society stood with the Philippines at COP17 to demand funding to the developing world to deal with climate impacts. Today, #COP27 decided to establish a Loss and Damage fund, taking the world one step close to that lifeline. Campaigning takes time, but works!

1/28. A serious issue has been bubbling under the surface at #COP27 and it's reaching boiling point as we near the final plenary: the importance of the Convention(@UNFCCC) and its ongoing role in @UN #ClimateChange negotiations. Here is why this is important for #LossAndDamage.🧵

Excellent and devastating @Oxfam reporting on the state of climate finance. The $100bn promised in 2009 has not only not been met, contributions have been massively over claimed and those that were made were largely loans. A 💔 truth as we approach #COP27 policy-practice.oxfam.org/re…

BREAKING: @MunichRe, the world’s biggest reinsurer, has just adopted an oil and gas exit policy. 🔥 Munich Re underwrites 22% of the global economy so this sends a strong message to insurers, energy companies and governments still considering new fossil fuel infrastructure. 🧵

We are concerned about this confusing signals about scientific evidence of #climatechange from the top of @WorldBank. Policy and programming of the bank need to be fully based on the findings of @IPCC_CH. Needs clarification by the bank! nytimes.com/2022/09/20/world…

🌎🔥 Today I asked World Bank president @DavidMalpassWBG if he believed in the scientific consensus that the man made burning of fossil fuels is rapidly and dangerously warming the planet.
“I’m not a scientist,” he said.
Here’s a thread about the remarkable exchange. 🧵 1/

Great that @DanJoergensen is stepping up! Recognizing how important it is that wealthy countries support a loss & damage finance response that supports people & communities facing climate disaster
This announcement brings us closer to a loss and damage mechanism at #COP27
BREAKING Denmark allocates 100 million DKK as #LossAndDamageFinance This is great news! Thanks @udviklingsmin I hope other countries will follow
