Shipping and aviation must be transformed 4. ensure fossil fuel energy crisis does not affect our ambition. 5. support agreement to form L&D fund at COP27, recognise we need to sprint together to operationalise response in coming year. 6. collectively double funding for adaptation by 2025. 7. support ambitious GGA, need a global movement to accelerate adaptation planning 8. affirm importance of meeting existing obligations under international law to protect human rights and the environment, and gratefully acknowledge voices raised across the world in support of climate action.
