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.

In our last coordination meeting, I handed over a symbolic heavy bag to the incoming chair ambassador Adao SoaresBarbosa, asking him to be strong. Last‑moment photos taken, Sierra Leone's Minister appreciated milestones we achieved collectively .
Goodbyes said.
