Selwyn Hart of #UNSG office: Global military spending in 2024 was US $2.7 trillion or $334 for every person on the planet. What has been pledged to the #FRLD (a little over $700m) is 0.026% of annual spending on war and death.

Richard Sherman opens #UN high-level event on Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage #FRLD by saying "Now is not the time to be timid or to be scared by minority voices even if they are powerful and very loud," likely a stab at an earlier speech made here today

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

Some consultants were probably paid an obscene amount of money to produce this absolutely nonsensical graph (check out the axis labels and tell me otherwise).

The road from Paris to Baku #COP29 is the story of the US trying to kill the very idea that the Global North owes anything to the Global South. Regardless of what the US says, the obligations exist. And we'll keep fighting. My comments on @democracynow.org - www.democracynow.org/2024/11/25/c...

“No deal is better than a bad deal.” Our Director of Policy and Campaigns, @brandoncwu.bsky.social, shares why developing countries are pushing back on developed countries’ attempts to sidestep their #ClimateFinance obligations. Listen to more 👉 youtu.be/vxaA8XSSeSg?si…

Late last night, delivered a letter from 100s of CSOs directly to the G77+China Chair urging them to stand up for their people & stand firm in rejecting the current #COP29 negotiating text which is nothing but a Great Escape of Global North countries from their obligations to provide climate finance

Asked about a proposal for $200bn of climate finance a year: Bolivia’s Diego Pacheco: “Is it a joke?” Uganda’s Adoni Ayebare: “Is it a joke?” Kenya’s Ali Mohamed then explained why they consider that completely insufficient #COP29
