Dear John,

Today the ** *Allied for Climate Transformation By 2025 (ACT2025)* ( [link removed] ) consortium released a *Call to Action ( [link removed] )* for leaders to ensure decisions made at the COP29 summit respond to the urgent needs of climate-vulnerable developing countries.

The stakes in Baku could not be higher. Finance and support are essential to implement ambitious national climate plans and adapt to increasingly severe climate impacts.

ACT2025’s *Call to Action ( [link removed] )* lays out four key priorities:

* Set a *new climate finance goal* that is ambitious and responds to what is needed to confront the climate crisis.
* Advance *just and equitable* ambition in line with the Paris Agreement, with G7 and G20 countries leading on new and enhanced national climate plans (NDCs).
* Drive *people-centered* and *livelihood-sustaining adaptation,* through action and support that closes the adaptation implementation and finance gap.
* Address *loss and damage* with sufficient action and support, by bolstering the Loss and Damage Fund launched at COP28.
