The #UNSG's summit yesterday was designed to keep momentum up on NDCs.

But rich polluting countries like the EU must go much further in practice than these lowball statements of intent - which are themselves a symptom of a deeper political sickness.

Inadequate climate commitments are a symptom of a deeper political sickness being felt in many countries.

This is a clear signal we need to demand more from our governments: to strengthen democracy, stand up to corporations & fix the climate.

But lack of action & finance from the rich countries that have caused the climate crisis means that vulnerable countries are facing a scary future.

Rich polluting countries like the EU must go much further in practice than these lowball statements of intent.

When it comes to NDCs, so many govts are running scared from corporations.

You can almost see the fossil fuel corporations frolicking through the climate policy landscape, merrily swinging a wrecking ball.

🗣️NEW: #ProductionGap report shows that governments’ #FossilFuel production plans & projections would lead to:

🪨 500% more coal
🛢 31% more oil
🔥 92% more gas

in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

So much happening in Bangladesh - a country feeling the reality of the climate crisis - as communities and youth call on the world for #JustTransition and people-centred climate action.

A kite festival in Cox's Bazaar, a music festival in Dhaka ... almost too much happening to list & share.

Further creative mobilisations in Bangladesh for the Global Week of Action included cultural climate performances in Patukhali and Amtoli, an art competition in Phulbari, and photo competition in Dhaka.

A powerful message from @ActionAid mobilisations in Nigeria: Far more of the world's money is going to the causes of climate change, not the solutions.

This is absurd.

We call on governments to shift the finance flows.

#DrawTheLine mobilisations in Tanzania sent the message that communities on the front lines of the climate crisis demand bold, just and people-centred action. ✊

On bikes, and with symbolic trees in bottles attached to air masks they called for renewables, #JustTransition &
