Check Your Message Message Subject: Edit the email subject line - (optional) Message Text: Dear (each target will get a separate, personalised email), Please do all you can to up Ireland's game on Loss and Damage and fossil fuel phase out at COP27. In particular, I'm asking you to endorse the global Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty and to make sure that Ireland pledges new and additional Loss and Damage Finance at COP27. I was disappointed that the Taoiseach's climate finance pledge at COP27 on 8th November was a mere relabelling of existing promises of climate finance. Loss and Damage funding should be additional to committed finance on mitigation and adaption. Furthermore the Global Shield and insurance based mechanisms cannot be an alternative to the urgently needed Loss and Damage Finance Facility. Ultimately insurance won't work for most climate risks as the climate crisis gets worse and worse because insurance companies won't cover it. I am therefore urging to you to pledge new and additional finance for loss and damage and support the establishment of a Loss and Damage Finance Facility at COP27 Across the global South people are being forced to fight and flee for their lives against the worst, life threatening and ever-worsening impacts of climate change. Extreme drought as a result of exacerbated climate change is raging across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia where someone is dying every 48 seconds from hunger. This summer Europe has also seen its worst drought in over 500 years. Devastating and severe floods in Pakistan have submerged one third of the country, destroying homes and livelihoods and killing over 1500 people. As a rich country, it’s time for Ireland to start taking responsibility for the climate impacts that our emissions have contributed to and start providing countries in the global South with much needed compensation in the form of Loss and Damage Finance. At COP27 Ireland should also support calls for the development of a global fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty. Both domestic action and international cooperation to explicitly stop the production of fossil fuels is urgently needed to fulfil the Paris Agreement goals and keep global warming below 1.5C. Ireland has already placed itself as a first-mover in committing to ending fossil fuel expansion domestically by passing legislation preventing licences for new oil and gas exploration and banning fracked gas. Ireland also became a founding member of the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance (BOGA) at COP26 in Glasgow. This makes Ireland well placed to champion a global Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty. In doing so we would be joining the likes of the WHO, Vanuatu and over one hundred Nobel Laureates in calling for a global treaty to phase out the use of fossil fuels in a rapid and just manner. I do hope you can act positively on these important issues. With climate impacts intensifying every day we cannot afford to let another COP slip by without positive, tangible outcomes. Ireland has an opportunity to show leadership on the global stage and I hope we will take it.
