Attended the 24th Japan–Brazil Dialogue on Climate Change in Tokyo with the LDC Group team, reflecting on COP30 outcomes and priorities for 2026 and COP31.
On the sidelines, I met with the COP31 Presidency 🇹🇷 and Australia 🇦🇺 to highlight LDC priorities for COP31.

As the new Chair, I reaffirm my commitment to advancing adaptation, securing climate finance, addressing loss and damage, and ensuring the voices of the most vulnerable continue to guide UNFCCC negotiations. 🌍✨

Climate finance is not charity. It is a legal obligation - and the only means of a global response to this global crisis.
#NCQG commitments must translate into real, sustained financial flows.

At #COP30 in Belém, countries agreed to triple #AdaptationFinance by 2035 to around $120 billion a year.
For the #LDCs, this is a signal of hope and the possibility of a more resilient future. Now the real work begins to turn this promise into reality.

Progress, but the funding gap remains so huge!

Last ones standing, 24 hrs defending the group's position. At 08:00 - the package was agreed. It was a difficult night of huge compromises. We didn't win on all fronts, but we got tripling #adaptation finance by 2035!
Thanks for siding with 1.6 billion people.
A luta contiua!
In our last coordination meeting, I handed over a symbolic heavy bag to the incoming chair ambassador Adao SoaresBarbosa, asking him to be strong. Last‑moment photos taken, Sierra Leone's Minister appreciated milestones we achieved collectively .
Goodbyes said.

#COP30 in extra day - Adaptation finance is nowhere near what vulnerable nations need. This is the red line for LDCs. We need strong LDC Fund replenishment & a commitment to triple adaptation finance by 2030. Immediate 1.5 °C action required.
#LDCs #ClimateAction
Today, the new LDC 1.5 Mission is born!
✅ Endorsed by LDC Ministers in Belém, Brazil
✅ Now, the 4th LDC initiative alongside LUCCC, REEEI, and LIFE‑AR.
💡 Goal: Keep political momentum alive to keep 1.5 °C within reach.
🔋 Focus: Raise resources, tech & capacity‑building.
Our teams are safe. No major incidents recorded. We continue engaging the Presidency to ensure COP30 outcome delivers strong adaptation elements for LDCs.
It still doesn't look good, but we remain hopeful and united. 1.6 billion people are waiting.

We pulled our adaptation negotiators from the heat of COP30 talks to face the press. We need scaled-up adaptation finance & clear GGA indicators. 1.6B people suffering & are our driving force. Indicators aren't enough. We need new+ add finance. Triple adaptation finance by 2030!
