COP28 presents a critical moment for polluters to commit to decisive climate action, to a fast and fair phase-out of all fossil fuels and absolute emissions reductions across all sectors.
We call on governments to act urgently and address the devastating impacts on humanitarian needs and the rights to food, nutrition, water, health and a healthy environment.
Too Hot to Eat outlines our main asks for governments at COP28:
- Increase adaptation funding to reach 50% of climate finance, increase the share of grants instead of
loans, and make finance accessible to local communities. - Operationalise the Loss & Damage fund, making sure it is entrenched in human rights principles
and includes arrangements for front-line communities to access it. - Ensure that agroecology is discussed as a standalone and priority approach in the Sharm El
Sheikh Joint Work on implementation of climate action in agriculture and food security. - Include water in the COP28 cover decision, and enhance efforts to tackle the intertwined climat e
and water crises. - Champion policy options such as universal health coverage, including for nutrition and mental
health services, and consider One Sustainable Health approaches, during the first ever
thematic day dedicated to health at COP.
