At minute 10:30 Mary Robinson (former President of Ireland) noted that we're not on track to reduce emissions, and there are 5 layers of climate injustice (racial, gender, intergenerational, pathways to development, and nature). COP26 must ensure that we're on pathways to 1.5 degrees. Before COP26, we need ambitious NDCs and $100 Billion/year needs to be guaranteed. At COP26, we need a roadmap for a political process for more ambition beyond COP26. After COP26, we need a standing agenda item on "Loss and Damage" and a major increase in $$ to adaptation.

At minute 20:30 Dessima Williams speaks about the most vulnerable, and that we need action now, not more analysis.

At minute 32:50 Jody Williams talks about actions that are needed at all times. Without pressure from civil society, governments won't do much.

At minute 47:40 Tzeporah Berman from Canada noted that countries are responsible for their emissions but not for their production of fossil fuels. That's why we need a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Great powerpoint slides with Tzeporah's talk.

I encourage you to listen to the entire 4+ hours but highly recommend the discussion between minute 10:30 and hour 1:00.
