🔵 Last week, the president of #Azerbaijan, the host country for #COP29, told the opening of the UN climate conference last week that oil and gas are a “gift of God”. 🌍 Here's our message: islamic-relief.org/news/a-gift-... Image

#COP29 is a colossal moral failure. The final deal is too low, too slow, and a betrayal of people suffering the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis all over the world Our verdict on #COP29 in Baku 👉🏿 islamic-relief.org/news/islamic...

🔴 The new draft finance deal at #COP29 falls way short of the $1.3 trillion a year that's needed. This is an insult to people all over the world who are on the frontlines of climate change. ⏳ We urgently need governments to step up and deliver.
