Anyone interested in cities and urbanism should watch Professor @TaibatLawanson's inaugural lecture. I've learned so much from her over the years, and feel honored to be working with her. x.com/Kuukuwa_/status/166611…

The frustrated, furious response above is all mine. For a more nuanced, less sleep-deprived assessment of key issues at #COP27, please check out the daily insights from @ODI_Global. My brilliant colleagues unpack all the tricky topics above, and more. odi.org/en/about/our-work/ro…

Failures at #COP27: ❌ Inability to explicitly confront fossil fuels (indeed, oil & gas welcomed into the room by Egyptian Presidency). ❌ Carbon market loopholes will enable corporate greenwash. ❌ $100 billion commitment remains unmet, primarily due to shortfall from the US.

Successes at #COP27: âś… Loss & damage fund focused on particularly vulnerable countries. âś… Demand for MDBs to define a new vision & operational model equal to the climate crisis. âś… Nuanced debate about responsibility & vulnerability beyond the developed/developing dichotomy.
