A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today. When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.

This is DR.Congo🇨🇩, one of the countries that contributes almost nothing to global warming but has lost over 120 people in devastating floods and landslides in the last two nights. World leaders are waiting for COP28 next year to decide who should pay for loss and damage funds.

More than 120 people were killed Tuesday as the worst floods in years battered DRC's capital Kinshasa following an all-night downpour. Major roads in the city of some 15 million people, were submerged for hours, & a key supply route was cut off. #ClimateCrisis

This is absolutely horrendous. This government does not care about the climate or the habitability of this planet, it's a lie. They don't care how many people will die. We won't let them get away with it.

The UN said a couple of weeks ago staying below 1.5 degrees is now impossible unless we see "a radical transformation of society". So all the papers ran with headlines like this. None ran with "how about we have a radical transformation of society?" Sounds far preferable to me..

We must not loose sight of nature’s role in tackling the climate crisis. Right now, we’re perpetuating an ecocidal economic system that destroys nature— our life-support system faster than it can regenerate. Today I addressed #COP27 #biodiversity day. The work doesn’t end here.

Endgame time at #COP27 when all the dirty tricks come out. An omen: conference logistics have been extended through Sunday night. And the major expected deliverable, #LossAndDamageFinance, is going to blow the whole thing up… 🧵

A showdown over climate reparations is brewing — and it will determine the success of the COP27...

Climate reparations — sometimes referred to as "loss and damage" payments — is a core issue likely to dominate proceedings at the COP27 summit.
