Climate Reality to Egypt

Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt  7-18 NOVEMBER 2022  /  #ClimateReality2Egypt

People and ecosystems in Australia, New Zealand and over 25,000 islands in the Pacific face an existential threat from the impacts of climate change.

​The 27th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP27) to the United Nations is a crucial climate event. It is the ‘implementation COP’ where countries must strengthen commitments to reduce emissions this decade and lock in additional support for adaptation.

At last year’s COP26 in Glasgow, all countries agreed to bring stronger commitments to COP27 in Egypt this November. So this COP is critical as the key means to keep countries moving forward to align their commitments with a 1.5°C future.

Our diverse network of 2400+ trained Climate Reality Leaders are asking for strong climate action on the road to and at COP27. We ask you to join us!

Key messages for policy makers

What the Australia and Pacific region must commit to at COP27

1.

Climate change is an existential threat and time is running out. Urgent action to support adaptation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support adaptation is crucial to the survival of many of our communities.

2.

Every fraction of a degree matters. To avoid catastrophic impacts, we must go harder and faster to hold heating to a maximum of 1.5°C. Developed economies, like Australia and New Zealand, must continue to strengthen their 2030 targets.

3.

All developed economies should strengthen their funding to support emission reductions and adaptation in developing economies. The global target of committing at least USD$100 billion per annum in climate finance must be delivered at the Egypt COP.

4.

Developed economies should support new and additional commitments for a special ‘loss and damages’ fund that helps with payments to impacted communities. This is particularly important for the Pacific Island nations already facing grave impacts from climate change.

5.

Governments of this region should join agreements that protect and restore forests and oceans. They should also join agreements that cut methane emissions, commit to no new fossil fuel developments, and support a just transition for regional communities.

Blue Pacific to Glasgow

Glasgow, Scotland 2021

Last year we hosted an online forum for Pacific voices to be heard in Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific—and the world—for ambitious climate commitments at the Glasgow COP26 climate negotiation.
​​​
The forum featured former U.S Vice President, Hon Al Gore; Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum, Hon Henry Puna; Fiji Prime Minister and Chair of the Pacific Islands Forum, Hon Frank Bainimarama; and other prominent government and civil society leaders.

The Paris Climate Agreement

This strategic engagement program has strengthened public discussion and applied research translation on international climate negotiations issues and debates before, during and after the UNFCCC COP21 Conference in Paris in 2015. 
​
This continues to focus on what sub-national entities, particularly States and Provinces can do to implement the Paris Agreement.
