This #SB2021 takes place during a time of compounding global calamities with the #climatecrisis adding to the already devastating impacts of the pandemic, with those that are marginalised & vulnerable in our society bearing the brunt of loss of life, homes, livelihoods & jobs 2/X
As the first formal virtual session of its kind, bringing together over 190 nations, #SB2021 must ensure cooperation, equitable access & transparency. We urge all parties to make progress in this meeting and use this virtual set-up to accelerate #climateaction.

If #COP26 is to happen in person in a safe & inclusive manner, rich countries must ensure rapid & equitable access to vaccines globally. We cannot accept an โelite COPโ with a few vaccinated delegates while millions of frontline workers wait to be vaccinated. #PeoplesVaccine 4/X
We are now at a turning point in fighting the #climatecrisis. Rich countries must lead by ending all funding to fossil fuels, increase their NDCs, deliver the $100b, and radically boost new finance, especially for #adaptation & #LossAndDamage. #SB2021 5/X
#LossAndDamage has not been included in the official agenda of this round of #climate talks but it is a key issue for vulnerable countries to help communities facing #ClimateCrisis. #SB2021 6/X
At the #SB2021 delegates must make real progress on finalizing the #ParisAgreement rules, in particular, a #CommonTimeframes for NDCs, rules for carbon markets in #Article6 and the transparency framework.

In order to accelerate ambition, countries must align on a common 5-year time frame, that matches the 5-year ratchet mechanism of the #ParisAgreement. At this #SB2021, countries need to narrow down options on #CommonTimeFrames๐

Agreeing on #Article6 guidelines is desirable only if its rules:
โ avoid all forms of double counting of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes
โ adopt safeguards, protection of human rights & rights of Indigenous Peoples
โ phase out Kyoto Protocol flexible mechanisms
โ avoid all forms of double counting of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes
