As we reflect on the recently concluded #COP28, those of us in the field of media keep asking the same question: When will good information and responsible journalism be acknowledged as key solutions to the climate crisis—and supported accordingly? With scientists warning that “much more action, on all fronts and by all actors, is needed now” to limit warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, we must not discount the essential drivers of that action.

New policy paper launched today: making #PeaceAtCOP a first-tier priority in international climate negotiations As COP29 approaches, we're calling for a crucial shift: #ClimateChange and conflict intertwine – it's time global decisions tackle both.  There are ways to address these interdependent challenges simultaneously. Our latest policy paper, crafted with our partners in the Peace@COP collective, explains how exactly.  We offer practical recommendations on 8 core issues for decision-makers at COP29, including:  ✅ Channelling more high-quality climate finance to fragile countries, and making it easier to access  ✅ Ensuring the green energy transition is just and doesn’t fuel or aggravate conflicts  ✅ Tracking and cutting down on military emissions  ✅ Amplifying youth voices in climate and peace initiatives  🔗 Read our full recommendations and join us in building a more peaceful, climate-resilient world: https://lnkd.in/evT6V2hf
