After fraught negotiations, walk-outs & civil society risking vocal protests, UN climate #COP29 finally wrapped up early Sunday, with the $300 bn/yr finance for developing countries inadequate in terms of quantity & quality, & barely a mention of nature’s critical role. More ⬇️
The fight isn’t over.. ❌ COP29 might have missed the mark, but the battle for nature is still our priority. 💚 While key funding gaps and insufficient commitments left nature on the sidelines, BirdLife International will continue pushing for real solutions—because saving nature means securing our future. 🌱 We must hold governments accountable—our planet’s future depends on it.

Chaotic hiatus at #COP29, now over 24 hours delayed, with anger on (nearly) all sides at deliberate obstruction of petrostates… ⬇️ Water and food in the venue running out, and concern whether there will be a quorum of Parties left if/when talks resume…

Climate finance is not a hand-out, nor charity. Climate finance is a responsibility that industrialized States must assume because of the climate change crisis. Climate finance IS a #humanrights obligation
Climate finance is not a hand-out. It’s an investment against the devastation that unchecked climate chaos will inflict on us all. It’s a downpayment on a safer, more prosperous future for every nation on Earth. #COP29

On #NatureDay here at #COP29 we’ve been celebrating 60 years of the IUCN Red List (which assesses species extinction risk from threats inc #climatechange), flagging the importance of investing in #naturebasedsolutions like wetlands & working to get this reflected in the outcomes!
Why care at all? ❓ You have heard the word COP numerous times by now, so why does this new COP29 meeting matter? 🦉 Taking place this week in Azerbaijan, COP29 is vital to tackling climate change for nature and people. 🌎 Decisions will shape our future, but we must continue to do all we can to empower our global Partners and local communities to safeguard ecosystems around the world.

As @UNBiodiversity #COP16 negotiations drag out, we call on countries trying to weaken the outcomes: “What side of history do we want to be on? What do we want to say to our next generation who will inherit the world we leave behind?” #COP16Colombia #ForNature #MessagesOfHope
The results are in!🎉 We received more than 3,700 messages of hope from 85 countries around the world! 🌎 These messages from bird lovers and nature enthusiasts were shared at the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, COP16 in Colombia.📝🐦 They were displayed at crucial moments during negotiations, reminding world leaders as they made key decisions about what’s at stake and to lead us forward to a future where nature is prioritised and protected. 🌿 Thank you to everyone who sent in their messages and the wider BirdLife Partnership for your support! 🙌 Read more here 👉birdlife.org/news/2024/11/01… #COP16Colombia #BirdLifeInternational #Biodiversity #MessagesofHope #Hope @audubonsociety @NatureCanada

CBD COP16 is underway!🌎 At the CBD 2050 Vision and Wetlands event, Martin Harper, CEO BirdLife International, highlighted how wetlands are in crisis and what we are doing to drive critical action.💧 Astrid Schomaker, CBD Executive Secretary, also noted that the loss of wetlands exceeds that of all ecosystem types despite being crucial to the flourishing of both people and planet. 📣 Schomaker stressed the need for more action, including increasing cooperation amongst the international processes dedicated to deliver on climate, biodiversity, desertification and water.🐦 Stay tuned for more COP16 updates! #BirdLifeCOP16 #BirdLifeInternational #BirdLifePartnership #MessagesofHope #COP16Colombia #PeaceWithNature #BirdLifeMigratoryFlyways
