Joining virtually from Ghana 🇬🇭, Sarfoh Danquah, a CJC training grad, shared how youth-led action is transforming frontline communities! He's now a trainer of trainers, multiplying impact. (2/3)
At #SB62 in Bonn, CARE CJC's Marlene Achoki led a seminar on NAPs, bringing together 30 youth from around the world.
They used our Toolkit for Youth on Adaptation & Leadership (co-created w/ @GCAdaptation & @noradno), equipping the youth to shape policy & drive advocacy. (1/3)
@COP29_AZ The latest draft text for the climate finance goal remains glaringly incomplete without the concrete numbers for the finance goal. The clock is ticking. ⏳#PayUp
"Where is the number?", asks @CAREGlobal's Global Policy Lead @y_achoki as the pressure on countries at #COP29 to reach an ambitious, concrete climate finance goal increases. ⬇️
"The NCGQ must be ambitious, public and grant based, easy in access, and gender responsive. The floating figures of $200/300 bn are a joke; they don't reflect the need of local communities in developing countries, and scientific estimates project NCQG at $1.3 tn" says @y_achoki
4/"Addressing climate crisis has never been more urgent than now. African countries wake up every morning to a crime they did not commit, and therefore AGN is very, very specific about the red lines that they would like to see from COP29 on the NCQG quantum."
Marlene @y_achoki
#COP29Baku Local communities have central roles in climate adaptation projects. @CAREGlobal@c21st_org@ifrc@PracticalAction - & cartoonists! - will discuss and unpack opportunities to strengthen local adaptation, from performance to investment to respond to people's needs. 1/👇
The lack of leaders from developed countries at #COP29 climate action summit, is "deeply concerning... It signals no sense of urgency, a lack of political will, which is critical to deliver on the New Collective Quantified Goal." Marlene Achoki, @CAREClimate global policy lead
@CAREClimate joins the "Stepping up adaptation" panel to discuss the adaptation track under the Paris Agreement, explore the UAE-Belém work programme on indicators to measure progress towards the Global Goal on Adaptation.

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say:
Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.
Tears flowed and a lengthy rousing ovation during final plenary just now for AOSIS Chair #AnneRasmussen, as she delivered an emotional response filled with unsparing observations about the final outcomes from #COP28UAE
"AOSIS at the beginning of this #COP28 had one objective, to ensure that 1.5 is safeguarded in a meaningful way. Our leaders and Ministers have been clear. We cannot afford to return to our islands with the message that this process has failed us."

📰 It's the fifth day of #COP28 — and today's ECO is hot off the press.
