37/37. 🌈#COP30 has taken us closer to the world we want—a world in which all humans 🧑‍🌾, species🐘 and ecosystems 🌴 are thriving on a healthy planet 🌏— but much work lies ahead. 💪 Join us! 😎

34/37. 🔎Only 20 million Euro has been pledged to the FRLD by Spain and only Switzerland, the host of the Santiago Network, has contributed 1 million Swiss Francs to the network. 😢
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
28/37. 👨‍⚖️This was the first COP since the delivery of the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) Advisory Opinion on Climate Change (#ICJAO) ⚖️. The #ICJAO has clarified that #ClimateAction is not optional — it's the law. 📢
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
25/37. 👏Whilst we welcome the launch of the call for funding request by the FRLD, 📢250 million USD is just a drop 💧 in the ocean compared to what is needed 💰— scientists project that developing countries need 395 billion USD in 2025 alone. 🤯
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
24/37. 💰A total of 250 million USD is allocated to the BIM and once the call for funding requests officially opens on the 15th of December 🗓️ developing countries will have six months ⏰ to submit their funding request for projects and programs of between 5-20 million USD. 💸
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
23/37. 📩The FRLD launched the call 📢 for funding requests for its start up phase —the Barbados Implementation Modalities (BIM).

21/37. ⚖️A #JustTransition mechanism has been established —which many had been calling for under the name Belém Action Mechanism (BAM) 💥— to implement a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels. 👏

19/37. 😎However, the launch of the “Belém Declaration” by Colombia 🇨🇴 at #COP30, a parallel process calling for a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels intended to strengthen UNFCCC outcomes, 💪 sends an important signal 📡 that there is growing consensus on ending fossil fuel dependency.
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
16/37. 🚫☀️There is also no concrete plan to phase out fossil fuels 🛢️to limit warming to the 1.5°C survival limit 🌡️ and no mention of "fossil fuels" 🚫⛽️ despite parties committing to transition away from fossil fuels 🏭 at #COP28. 🤯
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
14/37. ⛈️On the #GlobalMutirão, the decision recognises the urgent need to scale up action and support to avert (through mitigation 🚫🏭), minimise (through adaptation 🏗️🏝️) and address #LossAndDamage ❤️‍🩹💰and the inclusion of #LossAndDamage in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) 🎯.
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
11/37. 🚫There is also no commitment calling on developed countries to make new contributions 💸 to the FRLD or to pay in existing pledges 🪙 into the Fund. 📢This risks the FRLD running out of money in 2027. 🤯
November 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
8/37. 🎯Guidance has also been given to the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage (FRLD).
