WE'RE LOSING THE FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES.
Article 02
Your Natural Grace team have collated key takeaways from COP27 to keep you in the know.
For the first time, Climate Reparations, ‘loss and damage’, will be discussed in negotiations on how to pay for climate damage for those countries who have suffered the most from climate change but contributed the least.
DAY 1 - "We're on a highway to climate hell”
“We are in the fight of our lives. And we are losing. Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. Global temperatures keep rising. And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.”
Guterres
"Loss and damage is not charity, it’s climate justice”
The Pakistani envoy, Nabeel Munir
On 15 November 2022, the world's population is projected to reach 8 billion, how will our planet support this population when the population won't support it?
Day 7 - "Fast Fashion has addicted us to a level of consumption that is completely irresponsible"
The fashion industry is responsible for 18 to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
"Fast Fashion has addicted us to a level of consumption that is completely irresponsible. The message is clear: to brands stop lying, stop greenwashing, and to consumers stop buying fast and furiously."

Mass production, and consumption fuelling forced labour and mass dumping. A market alone in Ghana receives 15 million thrown away garments a week in second hand 'donations'. These are burnt, releasing toxic fumes, polluting local air.
We all have a role to play.
