Negotiators at biodiversity COP16.2 agreed on a 5-year finance roadmap, at a time when consensus seemed difficult. Still, as one Bolivian delegate said, "biodiversity cannot wait for a bureaucratic process that lasts forever". Our wrap up of Rome: https://t.co/X6UzcJdXuq

En la COP16.2 Argentina pide eliminar las referencias a los SDGs del texto de finanzas, en linea con los ataques de Milei a la agenda 2030. La presidenta de la COP recuerda que el texto ya fue acordado en Cali y pide concentrarse en finanzas para el "mejor uso de nuestro tiempo"

Hace poco la noticia de que el 2024 superó los 1.5C generó titulares por todo el mundo. Si bien no significa que se superó el limite del Acuerdo de Paris, la ciencia climática sí indica que empezó el conteo regresivo https://t.co/9x4RJujK24

Not exactly ideal that COP16 president Susana Muhamad resigned a couple of weeks before UN nature talks on finance, all while the US cuts finance for nature https://t.co/Z3U3MZFOK5

The Arctic Ice Project shut down geoengineering experiments citing environmental concerns and “potential risks to the Arctic food chain”. Some countries want to regulate geoengineering as more rogue initiatives arise. https://t.co/5scuPkaIUT

Saudi Arabia at ICJ after just blocking talks in Baku and Busan: “The treaty regime reflects the good-faith efforts of all participating states to reach pragmatic and effective agreement on what are immensely complicated policy matters for every state”

#COP29 has just ended but @m_civillini is already in Busan covering UN talks on a new plastics treaty, where Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iran have already picked up a fight to prevent reducing production of plastics (almost all coming from fossil fuels)

It feels like we just left Baku — and now we are reporting from Busan. Delegates from 175 countries have gathered there for what’s supposed to be the final round of talks aimed at clinching an international treaty on plastic https://t.co/KJGNSDRoiF

It’s a wrap from #COP29, where a $300bn new climate finance goal was (barely) adopted despite some opposition. But a climate mitigation package meant to inform new climate plans could not reach agreement and was pushed to next year https://t.co/3mf7XGy94B

Finance talks at #COP29 got chaotic this Saturday - one day after UN climate talks were supposed to end. Vulnerable nations walked out of talks temporarily, rejecting an offer of $300bn that they considered exclusive.
