The climate crisis is an economic sinkhole. It’s time to flip the script. Bolder climate action = ✅Cleaner, more affordable energy, better health ✅More jobs, stronger economies The climate crisis must be core business for EVERY government. 👉 #AMCEN

We cannot continue with business–as-usual to address the climate crisis. The increasing efforts of multilateral development banks are absolutely essential - particularly for the most vulnerable. Climate finance is the great enabler. Institutions like @EIB need to lead the way.

Climate impacts are hammering every country and economy, with increasing severity. It's time to harness the full transformational power of adaptation. At #COP29 in Baku, the world must agree on an ambitious goal for climate finance. Speaking @ LDC Group Ministerial Meeting

Extreme heat. Floods. Droughts. Wildfires. Rising sea levels. To tackle all these symptoms of the climate crisis, we need to fight the disease that causes them. The disease is the addiction to fossil fuels. The disease is climate inaction. Leaders across the board must wake up

The climate crisis is hitting every nation's security, economy, and people with rising fury and spiraling costs. Governments need to treat bold climate plans as core business across all ministries, with G20 countries leading the way. More: 📸 MoCA8 team

What I'm seeing on my home island, Carriacou, must not become humanity's new normal. If governments everywhere don’t step up, 8 billion people will be facing this blunt force trauma head on, on a continuous basis. We need climate action back at the top of political agendas.
