Week 1 in #Belem for #COP30 with @cidse.bsky.social felt both longer and too short. Inside the venue, progress on just transition and climate finance still needs real political will. Outside, the People’s Summit breathed hope, urgency, solidarity. The Amazon is speaking, are we listening?

🌱 “We must move from collecting data to caring… from discourse to ecological conversion.” – Pope Leo XIV

🌍 “COP30 must be the COP of Hope.” – Marina Silva

At #RaisingHope, urgency turned into hope & action. The movement is strong, and we will keep flowing like a river past obstacles. ✨

🌱 As #SB62 ends, CIDSE leaves Bonn facing a stark truth: 2025 marks a year of reckoning & resolve.
We turn now to #COP30 in Belém, committed to the fight for climate & global justice — inspired by people, communities, & movements who refuse to give up on our common home. 🌍

A strong #FfD4 outcome is essential to address #climatecrisis & fossil fuel lock-in

#COP29 did little to address Global South climate finance needs. #EU must back strong FfD4 outcomes and solutions via #UN on sovereign debt, tax, and clarify rich country obligations on climate & development finance
⚠️The #EU is not going to deliver the ambition needed for Sevilla, unless they show more ambition in the remaining. +/- 40 days.

🕊️ Today we lost a champion for the voices of the marginalised & the victims of injustice.

#PapaFrancesco taught us not to be indifferent to the cry of the earth & the cry of the poor, but to act with compassion & solidarity.
🙏Thank you for your incommensurable service.
