As the @UN launches a year-long campaign to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of #HumanRights Secretary-General @antonioguterres calls for a renewal of a global social contract anchored in human rights.
We #StandUp4HumanRights.

Afgørende for vores fælles klode hvad FN biodiversitets mødet #COP15 ender med at beslutte!
Vi har fra @92_gruppen 10 vigtige emner vi mener skal sikres -> læs artikel
Vigtigt med ambitiøs DK indsats og med ministerdeltagelse!

UN & member states never managed to #UNmuteCOP27 🙁 #CivilSociety & activists were excluded & surveilled, fossil fuel lobbyists were invited in. We need to fight for #CivicSpace towards #COP28. The #ClimateCrisis is a #HumanRights crisis @DenGroenneUng @Action4SD @Global_Witness
Jesper H. Brix retweeted
But - how do we protect #HumanRights and #KeepOnePointFiveAlive when #FossilFuels were still not acknowledged @COP27P as the main cause of climate change? The #LossAndDamageFund and adaptation finance will never prevent a further temperature increase @Vedv_Energi @92_gruppen
Jesper H. Brix retweeted
At #COP27 parties finally agreed on a #LossAndDamageFund to compensate climate disasters🎉But COP27 was also the #ImplementationCOP & #AfricanCOP and it's come to an end with a huge gap in implementation of commitments & few tangible victories for the climate-vulnerable🌍

#COP27 sluttede i nat med en stor sejr for udviklingslandene: En fond til klimakatastrofer. Men pt er der nul 💰i fonden, og COP-aftalen er uambitiøs og skuffende for 1,5 grads målet 92grp.dk/fokus-og-nyheder-fo… @92_gruppen #PayUp4LossAndDamage #KeepItInTheGround

This is not an African #COP
Civil society from 🌍 can't attend #COP27 due to lack of funding, others can't get into the negotiation rooms. When they do, their unique knowledge from the frontlines are not heard.
@mnyomb1 says it clearly: Activists are left out! #UNmuteCOP27

As too many countries continue to restrict the space for action & activism, many organisations and activists experience crackdowns.
Therefor we are happy to re-OPEN CLAIM YOUR SPACE to rights defenders in acute need for support.

Powerful #PeoplesPlenary & sit-in at #COP27 🙌 Across civil society, our message is clear: human rights is at the core of climate action as well as the negotiations.
When we can’t get access, we take action. @UNFCCC & member states should do the same! #UNmuteCOP27
Jesper H. Brix retweeted
Sådan ser et #PeoplesPlenary til #COP27 ud. Et rum fuld af civilsamfundsdelegater på tværs af køn, etnicitet og baggrund. Men med én fælles kamp.
Efter næsten to uger med uambitiøse forhandlinger og et voldsomt begrænset råderum er det stort at være samlet!

The draft COP27 decision is long and vague and delivers for neither people nor planet
Civil Society will continue 📣 until they:
#PayUpForLossAndDamage
#KeepItInTheGround
Recognize #IndigenousPeoples #HumanRights theguardian.com/environment/…
#COP27: In the wee hours of this morning, @COP27P released a new, lengthy, draft decision text.
The cover decision is the COP's political signal to the world in response to the #ClimateCrisis.
👉unfccc.int/documents/624107👈
Spoiler alert: it's NOT good.
A 🧵 with our takeaways👇

At @COP27P grassroots activists have come to demand climate justice, take action & #UNmuteCOP27 💪
@safetymbani's main reason to attend COP27 was to get inside the negotiation room & ask "what is the plan on #LossAndDamage?". But he wasn't allowed in. Here’s his message ⤵️

Mødte Friday i dag. Han har kæmpet for at stoppe private virksomheders rovdrift i Nigeria i 12 år, men er på sin første COP. Han kræver klimahandling- og retfærdighed, men blev forleden nægtet adgang til forhandlingslokalet. Civilsamfundet i frontlinjen må og skal høres på #COP27

As climate disasters become more extreme, costs of adaptation, relief and rebuilding are rising. By 2030 costs of #LossAndDamage could be $290bn- $580bn. The most vulnerable communities are already paying the price, and are looking to 🌍leaders at #COP27 to #PayUp4LossAndDamage.
“Delaying or refusing to set up a #LossAndDamage finance facility will not change the scientific fact that climate-driven extreme events and slow-onset disasters will continue to accelerate causing increasing harm to the poorest and most marginalized people.” @ucsusa
Jesper H. Brix retweeted
Vi ser et kæmpe skred i staternes opbakning til rettigheder på @COP27P. I forhandlingerne bliver #HumanRights set som et tilvalg der ikke har noget med klima at gøre. Men det har *alt* med klima at gøre, hvis vi som borgere skal have gavn af klimaaftalerne #SantiagoNetwork
⚠️ Parties are discussing technical assistance for #LossAndDamage without talking about #HumanRights.
📣 Today's #ECO tells it like it is: do it right(s) for a people-centered #SantiagoNetwork!
👉 The terms of reference must include guiding principles to deliver on #HumanRights.

Indigenous communities hold centuries of local knowledge which is🔑to finding #ClimateSolutions, use resources sustainably, reduce emissions+regenerate natural systems.
Yet their🗣️demanding polluters to #PayUp4LossAndDamages are not being heard in #COP27 negotiation rooms.
@IWGIA
“We have a lot to offer, and the world has a lot to learn,”
Yet Indigenous voices continue to be ignored at #COP27. It’s time for world leaders to listen and learn from these bearers of ancestral knowledge!

#CivilSociety marches inside the @UN #COP27 space as part of #GlobalDayofAction to highlight we’re unable to march freely on the streets of Egypt.
We insist on the right to freedom of association, assembly and speech🗣#WeAreNotYetDefeated #FreeCivicSpace #FreeThemAll #UNmuteCop27
Jesper H. Brix retweeted
We march to lift up the voice🗣 and the demands of all frontline communities facing repression because they dream of a better world. #GlobalDayofAction
#COP27 must deliver #ClimateJustice & #PayUp4LossAndDamages. #WeAreNotYeatDefeated

Billeder fra det tætteste man kommer på en almindelig demonstration til klimatopmødet i Egypten. Fordi vi ikke må gå på gaden demonstrerer vi i konferencecentret #UNmuteCOP27 #PayUpForLossAndDamage #WeAreNotYetDefeated #GlobalDayofAction

Dansk civilsamfund frygter at #COP27 klimaforhandlingerne ikke kommer videre end skrivebordene. Klimaminister @DanJoergensen ankommer til🇪🇬i morgen. Vi håber🇩🇰tilstedeværelse kan presse på for bl.a den nødvendige klimafinansiering.
