These 18 world leaders represent a solid core of front runners who can kickstart momentum in the first quarter of next year to deliver on the promise of the #ClimateAmbitionAlliance assembled by the Chilean @COP25CL Presidency. We call on others to join us! #COP25Madrid

Nauru’s President & Samoa’s PM have joined our list of 18 leaders committed to delivering new Paris targets by early 2020 & achieving net zero global emissions by 2050. Uniting Behind the Science to Step Up Ambition by 2020 statement remains open. 🇳🇷🇼🇸 @Republic_Nauru @samoagovt

It has been the pleasure of my life to serve as the President of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Our government helped make the world safer, delivered real benefits for the Marshallese people and set our country up for the future. Best wishes to President-elect David Kabua.

I needed a minute after #COP25 to breathe and process. Thanks @JamieTahana for the interview and for highlighting Pacific voices. @President_Heine @MinisterSilk @MinisterDPaul

Pacific countries and climate activists are calling for an overhaul of how the world tackles climate change, after this month's UN climate talks ended in failure.
Jamie Tahana looks back on COP25.

#Risingseas and sand erosion are threatening the atoll countries of the Maldives, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu. ADB is investing $5 billion in a plan to protect healthy oceans, but urgent #climateaction from the global community is needed

If it was not for the Marshall Islands and our #HighAmbitionCoalition, there would have been an even weaker outcome at #COP25Madrid. While we should be disappointed with the behaviour of some big emitters, we should be proud we helped protect against an even weaker outcome.

All the @WMBtweets partners will be working to ensure 2020 is the year that exponential growth in business, investor, city and regional ambition breaks through the thick walls of indifference surrounding laggard country governments!!!

We came to #COP25Madrid to make the planet safer. Unfortunately, the new text we adopted this morning does not reflect anything near what we would have wanted. Nevertheless, it does make clear what we all agreed in Paris, which is that next year is a year of delivery.

I take heart from climate champions in our midst.

I am disappointed with the results of #COP25.
The international community lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation & finance to tackle the climate crisis.
But we must not give up, and I will not give up.

#COP25Madrid is not over yet. That does not mean it is an opportunity to gut the text in order to simply get to an outcome. What the Presidency presented overnight on ambition was good. No country can credibly stand in its way. And the Presidency should feel a strengthened hand.

“I need to go home and look my kids in the eye and tell them we came out with an outcome that will ensure their future. The text must address need for new and more ambitious NDCs and long-term goals. We can't leave with anything else.” 🇲🇭 #COP25Madrid bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

The #HighAmbitionCoalition has taken stock. We need a text that goes beyond business as usual. We need a text that is ambitious and says very clearly that we will enhance NDCs next year. We are now working to make that happen. #COP25Madrid
