So, #COP27 finished last week, with the final thematic day being Solutions Day on Friday 185/11.

The Egypt COP27 Presidency launched four solution centered initiatives on the last day of COP27s’ thematic day, more information is here: ow.ly/bmAZ50LJ1Ee

Over 14 days, the world’s eyes were on Sharm El-Sheikh, as #COP27 brought together 112 heads of state, over 46,000 delegates including ministers, scientists, policy-makers, members of civil society, IGOs, activists and youth.

1/2.📢GOOD NEWS: With these words: “I now invite the COP to adopt the draft decision on funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage . I hear no objections. It is so decided.” the COP27 gavelled into existence a #LossAndDamage fund at #COP27 .

Successes at #COP27 :

✅ Loss & damage fund focused on particularly vulnerable countries.

✅ Demand for MDBs to define a new vision & operational model equal to the climate crisis.

✅ Nuanced debate about responsibility & vulnerability beyond the developed/developing dichotomy.

After two weeks of extensive negotiations, #COP27 has concluded with a hallmark implementation plan #SHIP , and a historic deal for agenda item and outcome on #LossAndDamage funding.

How to combine public funding with revenues from the #VCM when developing engineered #CarbonRemoval projects?

I wrote a 5-pager that outlines the considerations and expands on the role of the VCM more broadly.

Enjoy!
