Drawing strict boundaries between #adaptation & #LossAndDamage isn't very useful as they are super-blurred on the ground, says SEI's Zoha Shawoo.

Ideally, medium-term loss & damage funding would complement emergency humanitarian aid.

Palestine is a litmus test - not only about the genocidal actions of apartheid Israel - but also if the so called liberals in the West will happily sit by & watch the global South burn, drown, starve & die be it from climate colonialism or settler colonialism. The answer is yes!

Today I’m thinking about the journalists in Gaza who put their lives on the line to document the genocide of their own people, only for the Western world to not only turn their backs, but actively justify, fund & enable it. We owe it to them to keep fighting for a free Palestine

The US and UK are bombing Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the world, so that Israel can continue its genocide and mass displacement of the Palestinian people in Gaza without disruption. That's the reality we're in.

The often repeated Mandela quote ‘none of us are free until the Palestinians are free’ is being made real by the very people who themselves fought against and ended apartheid.

Demonstrating that our liberations are bound together - thank you #South_Africa ✊🏾✊🏿

#COP28 marks a historic decision on transitioning away from #FossilFuels , reflecting evidence presented by SEI Research and partner organizations.
