@iom.int & Ruta del Clima created the first-ever costing tool to quantify #LnD for #plannedrelocation & disaster #displacement. Results in #CostaRica & #Chile calculated that governments would need to invest around $65,384 per household to address LnD.

After Day 1 of INQUIMUS, what are my take-aways? So far, mainly that there are a tremendous amount of people who really want to see a just world where everyone has a chance at a decent life.

NEW: The Trump admin is planning to release a reckless offshore drilling plan that would open vast new areas of U.S. waters to oil and gas development. This would include auctioning off public waters in California, the Gulf of Mexico, and virtually every offshore area in Alaska.​

“I heard there were a lot of negotiators who have been complaining of being put on a bunk bed, or in terms of sharing a room, but this is the reality of most people around the world.”

Hosting COP in Belém will hopefully do a lot to draw attention to this issue www.civilbeat.org/2025/11/peop...
People In Poverty Have The Most At Stake Amid World Climate Talks
Data shows that even in developed nations relatively sheltered from climate change, over 80% of poor people are exposed to at least one climate hazard, like drought, air pollution or extreme heat.

🌎 Ahead of #COP30, we need less politics & more law.

🗣️ CIEL's @erikalennon.bsky.social, says this year the world must break the political gridlock that has defined climate negotiations. Countries must take ambitious climate action or risk violating their obligations under int'l law.👇

Landmark court rulings make clear: climate action is a legal duty, not a choice. At COP30, countries must act in line with the law.

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.

This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.
