At #2024UNCSC we heard loud and clear from diplomats that none of civil society's priorities would be in the final Pact. Why? Because the UN was build for government to talk to themselves not to listen to civil society. That is why we need a permanent #GlobalCitizensAssembly NOW!
Our global governance systems are falling short in addressing today's crises. But citizens’ assemblies can overcome polarisation, foster inclusion+drive solidarity. Join us to make citizen voices heard⬇️#SummitoftheFuture @SVoice2030 @PlataformaCIPO #2024UNCSC @davidlevai
Today I had the privilege to present our plan @iswe_org to launch a #GlobalCitizensAssembly at the #SummitOfTheFuture in front of civil society colleagues @democracywb @CIVICUSalliance @PlataformaCIPO @jo_leinen and @GermanAmbUN_NY at the UN Civil Society Conference
Why? Because global governance is no longer fit to address current crises and intergenerational challenges. A #GlobalCitizenAssembly can create a political mandate for change and advance what politicians can’t!

Thx @ColombeCS for you support. Many great reforms proposed by the Climate Governance Commission and @SDDecleve. To build political traction we need citizens' support. That is why we need a #GlobalCitizensAssembly ASAP - Join our coalition gcacoalition.org #GlobalAssembly
@davidlevai is pitching the idea of a global permanent citizens’ assembly at #UNCSC
I absolutely love the idea, and think it’s fundamental to have citizens’ involvement and power in all global governance structures.
Really? Climate change could also have real economic impacts and turbocharge inflation? Who would have guessed? Clearly not those who want to "pause" environmental regulations or kill the #eugreendeal

🏛️Our global governance systems were built for an earlier age. They are no longer fit to address the compounding crises the planet is facing. We’re gathering organizations, individuals and governments to place citizens at the heart of global governance. 2/5

Excellent panel @COP28_UAE where @DanielleTurkov explains how true and honest documentaries can mobilize action as well as bridge gaps between views and reduce polarization

Une tentative d'expliquer les enjeux financiers majeurs de cette #COP28 et notamment la decision historique sur le fonds des Pertes et Dommages #LossAndDamage. Aussi sur le besoin d'impliquer les citoyens dans les changements systémiques nécessaires @_GlobalAssembly @iswe_org

Agreed! It' also the time to start properly consulting citizens: #CtizensAssemblies can provide space for informed deliberation among a represenattive sample of citizen and provide commensurate responses yet consensual and acceptable to all

Merci @MickaCorreia pour ce rappel toujours utile en demontant des arguments absurdes qui ont toujours le vent en poupe. Une faible valeur relative (1%) ne doit pas occulter une enorme valeur absolue: des emissions de 415 million de tonnes de eqCO2 en 2021 !
Hier, Emmanuel Macron a asséné que "La France ne représente qu’1% des émissions mondiales" durant son interview avec @HugoDecrypte.
Un (énième) fil pour mettre les choses au clair. Et démonter ce faux argument qui justifie l'inaction climatique 🧶⬇️

Hmmm... Some figures to meditate... And then meditate again to cool down, carry on and continue the fight
Written with my co-author @_Oscar_Reyes& @ProfundoNL data whizz @WardWarmerdam, @ActionAid's report "How the #FinanceFlows" evidences the shocking money flows to fossil fuels & industrial agriculture in the Global South, and the biggest culprits.

Thanks @C2ES_org for organizing this useful conversation on the critical high-level political signals that the #GlobalStocktake should send @COP28 on finance. For me, conclusions need to bridge between #UNFCCC negotiations and the real world to deliver 3 fundamental messages 🧵👇

If you wonder what is going on at @IMOHQ on advancing a levy on emissions, I recommend this thread by Vanuatu’s climate minister: he demonstrates Pacific leadership and debunks the myths and narratives pushed by levy opponents from 🇧🇷 🇦🇷 and 🇨🇳.
As we head into the final stretch of #IMO #MEPC80 meetings, I want to address some #disinformation we’re seeing about two goals we have this week: a) targets for decarbonisation, and b) the levy.
A thread:
#ClimateActionNow
Today @EmmanuelMacron made some crucial points at an event with @KGeorgieva and #AjayBanga and President @WilliamsRuto of Kenya 🇰🇪- a short 🧵 to keep track of these commitments:
⌚️ President @EmmanuelMacron just said he will put all commitments on a one-pager, share it with world leaders and head of IO to try to get agreements before tomorrow.
We need concrete commitments to make sure this summit is a success.
