#ClimateAction #ParisAgreement 5th Anniversary

CAN reaction to UK announcement on fossil fuel financing, clean energy & £11.6bn in climate finance for developing countries:

UK must find new sources of climate finance so it doesn't come at the expense of other vital ODA areas

On Chile: Same commitments in April 2020 are still insufficient to meet the #ParisAgreement goals.

We need to move quickly towards the decarbonization, prioritise adaptation and green resilient economic recovery. @CAN_LA_ @FIMA_Chile

"Given the profound existential threat we are facing, the EU will need to go beyond the agreed target. Science is clear that at least 65% emission cuts is the way forward."
- @CANEurope
#ClimateAction #ClimateAmbitionSummit

"Japan must raise the 2030 target to at least a 50% reduction in GHG emissions (compared to 1990), and formulate an energy mix without nuclear and coal-fired power toward #COP26"
- @CANJapan_org @kikonetwork
#ClimateAction #ClimateAmbitionSummit

Italy's announcement of €30 million contribution to the Adaptation Fund is a welcome step but "isn't €30 million very little to adapt to the devastating impacts of the #ClimateCrisis?" - @CANEurope

@ClimateAction #ClimateAmbitionSummit

While PM @JustinTrudeau committed $15B in climate finance, this is still not enough and Canada must boost international climate finance; subnational actors also need to step up its ambition for transformational change
- @CANRacCanada #ClimateAmbitionSummit

India: "Time to move away from fossil fuels and say no to coal expansion. South Asia as a region should build a renewable energy trade regime and seek to lead on an international non-proliferation treaty on fossil fuels."
- @SanjayVashist15 @CANSouthAsia #ClimateAmbitionSummit

China: "Beijing has the potential to do more. To peak its emissions earlier than 2025 is still something it should strive for. A lot needs to happen at the domestic front. 5 years from #ParisAgreement, China’s record is mixed"
- @LiShuo_GP @GreenpeaceEAsia

Gabon: “We are welcoming the decision of Gabon to revise its NDC and to work on a new national law for climate before #COP26. It’s a big step towards more climate leadership in Africa”
-CAN West and Central Africa (CANWA)

#ClimateAction #ClimateAmbitionSummit

Peru enhanced its NDC from a 30% to 40% reduction of its greenhouse gases and will complete its National Adaptation Plan and National Climate Change Strategy by 2050. - @mociccperu
#ClimateAction #ClimateAmbitionSummit

Finland: The @FinGovernment
must “ensure that climate finance amounts are new and additional to Finland’s development cooperation budget, possible increases in #climatefinance would not come at the expense of shrinking funds for development cooperation”
-Finnish Development NGOs

Germany: Although Chancellor Merkel committed to initiating an international process on #climatefinance, "unfortunately, she failed to send an early clear signal for a strong future rise of Germany’s climate finance"
- @harmeling @CARE
#ClimateAction #ClimateAmbitionSummit

President @EmmanuelMacron is not honouring the legacy of #COP21 in terms of national and international action and should reduce emissions by at least 55% by 2030 to be aligned with the goals of the #ParisAgreement - @lucildfr @RACFrance #ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction

US: Absent on climate leadership, now it must step up on leading towards a #JustRecovery from #COVID19 and modelling fair shares. “We call on the @JoeBiden Administration to be strong in placing planet and people over profit” - @mtmalcom @AlabamaPJC @uscan #ClimateAmbitionSummit

Despite significant improvements with targets of carbon neutrality by 2050, enhancement of its NDC by 26%, peak emissions by 2030 and a mention of #JustTransition the country is still not on track to achieve 1.5C
- @farnargentina @CAN_LA_
#ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction

Uruguay: "Neutrality” in 2050 is too long-term.
Neutrality does not imply zero emissions. It seems that there are no intentions to improve anything"
-Mario Calfera, Amigos del Viento
#ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction

Colombia: We welcome its enhanced NDC to 51% by 2030, however important aspects are missing: gender, human rights and #climatejustice while plans for fracking and continued deforestation continue.
- Santiago Aldana, @Climalab_org @CAN_LA_
#ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction

Niger: We positively welcome Niger’s decision to submit a new NDC and reduce its emissions from 3.5 to 5% by 2030, through the development of renewable energy, reforestation, and sustainable agriculture.
- CAN West and Central Africa (CANWA) #ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction

DRC: DR Congo reaffirmed his countrys commitment by developing a national strategic plan that is aligned with the #ParisAgreement. However, we urge that developed countries honor their financial commitments so developing countries can implement their NDCs #ClimateAmbitionSummit

Rwanda could achieve the targets with enough support for green technologies, and should adopt agro-ecology for climate resilience and emphasise renewable energy for cooking to replace charcoal and firewood.
- Vuningoma Faustin @RCCDNRwanda #ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction

Malawi: "The ambitious plan announced by Malawi is achievable if it is backed by commitment, civil society participation and political will regardless of affiliations."
- Edward. M. Chaka @pefenaporg
#ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction

Norway: Cutting emissions by at least 50% by 2030, aiming towards 55% below 1990 levels, with general carbon pricing. “Norway is proud to lead on climate action. But enhanced NDCs are required from all, especially big emitters” -IInga Fritzen Buan @WWFNorge
#ClimateAmbitionSummit

As Kenya is set to become industrialised by 2030, the National Climate Change Adaption Action Plan will "define the country’s low carbon climate-resilient development pathway towards achieving its climate targets"
- Nobert Nyandire, @Suswatch_Kenya
#ClimateAmbitionSummit

Costa Rica: Has a strong climate ambition but requires "clear and structural actions to follow these commitments" says Adrián Martínez of @larutadelclima @CAN_LA_ who also called for international accountability for #lossanddamage.
#ClimateAmbitionSummit #ClimateAction

Pakistan's announcement to stop any future coal expansion is an ambitious commitment that will lead us to a path of resilient sustainable development for generations to come, says Dr. Abid Suleri, @CANSouthAsia Board Co-Chair and ED of @SDPIPakistan
