Quick Report From Abu Dhabi
The fifth and last meeting of the Transitional Committee just ended with an outcome that does not ensure the Loss and Damage Fund will fully serve the needs and interests of affected peoples and communities of the Global South.
Listening now to a speaker's prescriptions for LDCs at the UN LDC5 Conf in Doha -"produce better & more competitive goods for the world market." No mention of inequitable economic relations as a cause of net resource outflows frm south to north & deepening poverty in the south.
Biden's nominee for World Bank President Ajay Banga. From Nestle to PepsiCo to Citigroup to Mastercard and now the World Bank? Best way to ensure private capital interests rule in the World Bank. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…
First Coordinated mobilizations in Asia for 2023 - our movements in Philippines India Pakistan Bangladesh and Nepal rally to demand Peoples Recovery Programs and System Change to End Inequalities! @AsianPeoplesMvt
Northern govts seriousness & sincerity in asking to put 1.5 deg C limit to global warming in COP27 text is measured by the delivery of their Climate Finance obligations, which is needed for a rapid, just & equitable fossil fuels phase out. Without finance, it was all posturing!
An important victory - afrer many years of campaigning by movements and CSOs and advocacy by several Global South governments. More work to be done to make sure this paves the way towards equity and justice in the international tax architexture. theguardian.com/world/2022/n…

COP27 drama continues - now we are hearing that US and Switzerland are backtracking on the agreement forged earlier today to include the Loss & Damage Fund in the text.....
COP27 in final stages as agreements being reached on text part by part. Partial initial win on Loss & Damage Fund - it is there but buried with other "financial arrangements." Win is also dampened by lack of progress on fossil fuel phase out -this means more loss & damage!
Last night at COP27: US EU UK et al issue new proposed text watering down further the call for a Loss and Damage Fund. These governments are shamelessly denying justice and responsibility.
COP27: the US is blocking an agreement for a Loss and Damage Fund. COP21: in 2015 the US insisted on a decision text that excludes liability & compensation in addressing Loss & Damage. US: consistently ignoring suffering in the South & its huge share of responsibility for this.
COP27 draft text is even weaker than COP26 regarding Fossil Fuels! Now just talking about "phase down of unabated coal." We demand explicit commitment to rapid, just and equitable phase out of ALL fossil fuels before 2050.
In a few hours APMDD and its members & partners will hold 24 bike actions in 8 Asian countries demanding rapid, just and equitable transition to 100% renewable energy. Pedal for People & Planet in Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan & Nepal!
On the anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law by Marcos Sr (Sept 21 in Phil), his son will address the UN General Assembly. The new Pres of the Philippines, Marcos Jr, refuses to acknowledge the huge suffering of our people under the violent dictatorship of his father.
Solidarity with Walden Bello! His arrest on charges of libel and cyberlibel is an example of the arrogance of power, acting with impunity, hiding cowardice in the face of truth. @WaldenBello
EU shame on you! Natural Gas and Nuclear are environmentally sustainable? Are transitional energy sources? I guess we shouldnt be suprised, as this follows the G7's equally shameful backtracking from their pledge to end public finance for fossil fuel projects. #NotoFossilGas
As if the G7’s climate actions are not lame enough, its has backtracked from its pledge to end public subsidies for fossil fuels. It now allows public investments in fossil gas. Rapid, just & equitable shift to Renewable Energy is the answer to the energy crisis! #NoToFossilGas
