Connie Britton Instagram – #Powerourplanet: Live in Paris!! What an unbelievable night! We came to Paris hopeful for radical reform, ready to celebrate breakthroughs for equity and justice on behalf of vulnerable countries that are trying to tackle climate change. Instead, it was disappointing to see that most leaders of the world’s richest nations and most powerful institutions have once again gathered and emerged with insufficient solutions and lightly-held promises. However, we are encouraged by the steps taken by World Bank President Ajay Banga to reform key policies, including incorporating suspension clauses into loan agreements for countries hit by natural disasters. We also celebrate the coalition of countries which agreed to cancel Zambia’s $6.3B in debt, we now have a coalition supporting the creation of a tax on the shipping sector, and France has also stepped up by increasing its share of Special Drawing Rights allocated to poor countries to 40%. The Power Our Planet campaign will continue to stand for justice on behalf of the countries and populations being devastated by climate change and turn our attention toward this year’s G20 meetings, Global Citizen Festival on September 23, and COP28.
