Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events, posing unprecedented challenges for rural agricultural production and food security.
To explore what can be done join this @UNUEHS @FAOclimate online event.

Great to see that Bozo still makes all the big calls wrong! Clueless as a stuffed chicken and still always wrong about everything. What's the point of an Eton education beside privilege?

Today attending the CAN UK network to plan climate action for the year ahead. Looking at how to maintain pressure for climate action while also building capacity in the global south and raising the voice of the poorest and climate vulnerable. The work starts today.

Happy new year to all my Blue Sky friends!
Humanity faces several emergencies, from climate change, environmental degradation, increasing poverty, conflict and rising inequality.
But 2025 must be peak misinformation, a threat that fuels division and leads to inaction! #hope

What's the collective noun for this lot??

Great chance to discuss how to move forward on understanding #LossAndDamage hosted at IIASA with the science community

Sadly at #COP29 the presidency/global north gavelled through an agreement that forced developing countries to accept a deal that is woefully inadequate to address the gravity of our shared climate emergency

As #COP29 enters the final day +1 we are still no nearer an agreement on #ClimateFinance and hence keeping 1.5oC within reach is in jeopardy.
Without adequate funding the shift to aczero carbon global economy is impossible. Thus at the 11th hour...
No deal is still better than a bad deal!!

At #COP29 the Final Fossil of the day goes to....

At #COP29 the failure of the latest presidency text on the New Collective Quantified Goal just released the message to developing country colleagues is clear #DontTakeTheDeal it does nothing to respond to the accelerating #ClimateEmergency

I'd totally forgotten the #COP29 venue when it's not hosting international climate negotiations is a football ⚽ stadium! So true to type we are heading for extra time and who knows last gasp penalty shootout!
Not an ideal environment to negotiate a fit for purpose deal!

Friday day 11, new texts now expected at noon today, so clearly #COP29 is going into overtime. (Probably looking at a penalty shootout most likely)!
Delegates have been asked to rebook flights ✈️
The saga continues...

The climate negotiations #COP29 are entering the final period, but sadly we do not seem to be making the progress on the quantum for the New Collective Quantified Goal needed to tackle the #ClimateEmergency. Lack of money is cited as the reason, but this is a false narrative.

Joined the ICCCAD, youth session at #COP29 on local mechanisms to enhance national capacity to ensure restorative support reaches communities facing Climate Emergency.
Key is systems need to be designed for the national context but without adequate funding they will be talking shops unable to act!

Can the G20 unlock #COP29? Although they are separate processes the G20 is 80% of emissions so clearly decisions made there, have implications here.
It's a chance to demonstrate G20 leadership and put the climate agenda at the centre of their discussions and thus unlock climate finance here.
