2/11. 🤯The U.S’s withdrawal sends the wrong message to global community at a time when the escalating #ClimateCrisis is leading to increasing amounts of #LossAndDamage.
5/11. 😶🌫️The U.S. has a long record of delay tactics and obstructionism on #LossAndDamage, however, withdrawal from the Board of the Fund and the #ParisAgreement and Trumps #DrillBabyDrill agenda signals a larger rejection of the reality of the #ClimateCrisis.
6/11. 📣Yet, despite leaving the Board of the Fund and the #ParisAgreement, U.S. responsibility for the #ClimateCrisis and to uphold #HumanRights remains the same. Therefore we must continue to hold them to account to ensure that they pay their fair share towards #LossAndDamage finance. ✊
4/11. 🗣️ As highlighted by the Chair of the African Group of Negotiators, Ali Mohamed of Kenya 🇰🇪: "[a]t a time when the world needs a concerted effort to fight the effects of #ClimateChange, the spirit of multilateralism should remain our guiding light."
3/9. 🔥🌊⛈️With escalating #LossAndDamage continuing to devastated communities and countries on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis, the Fund must start disbursing grants in 2025.
2/3. 🤑 Rich countries were able to find trillions 💰 during the COVID-19 Pandemic and they spend trillions each year on #FossilFuel 🏭⛽️🛢️ subsidies and further expanding #FossilFuel extraction ⛏️ exactly the opposite 🤪of what we need to do to end the #ClimateCrisis.
17/19. 🤯Developed countries also see the #NCQG as an opportunity to make money from the #ClimateCrisis through loans an other instruments that would further exploit developing countries and see #ClimateFinance boomerang 🪃 back to them. 😡 🤬
12/16. ⭐️An #NCQG that operationalises Parties’ existing #HumanRights obligations ⚖️, including those related to the rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by ensuring that #ClimateFinance💰is child 🚼-, gender- ⚧️and disability-responsive ♿️.
