Last ones standing, 24 hrs defending the group's position. At 08:00 - the package was agreed. It was a difficult night of huge compromises. We didn't win on all fronts, but we got tripling #adaptation finance by 2035!
Thanks for siding with 1.6 billion people.
A luta contiua!

#COP30 in extra day - Adaptation finance is nowhere near what vulnerable nations need. This is the red line for LDCs. We need strong LDC Fund replenishment & a commitment to triple adaptation finance by 2030. Immediate 1.5 °C action required.
