Hello everyone and welcome to today's IED debates event. So today we are going to be discussing COP26 and the outcomes and where we go from here. We've got a fantastic panel lined up. They'll be introduced shortly. I am certainly very excited to hear their insights and perspectives on COP26. So with that, I am really delighted to hand over to Andrew Norton, who is the director of IED and our moderator for today's discussion. Andy, over to you please. Thanks so much Juliette and it's really exciting to be here with this really great panel who I will introduce in a moment. Yeah, I'm director of IED and it's my great pleasure to be moderating this event. So warm welcome to you all. It's wonderful to see so many of you here and wanting to be part of the discussion. As Juliette was saying, please do use the chat to introduce yourself. But if you have any specific questions to pick up in the second half of the discussion, please put them in the Q&A panel. So it's not far off a couple of weeks now since COP26 wrapped up. And I hope those of you who are there have had the chance to recover, to catch your breath and to reflect a little on what was an extraordinary event with an extraordinary run up as well. The world is dealing with multiple crises. The climate crisis, a crisis of unprecedented biodiversity loss on a global scale, rising inequalities and this last one very much exacerbated and driven in all kinds of new ways by the global COVID-19 pandemic over the last couple of years. And the way we see it strong and urgent action is needed to address these interconnected crises and this has been an important year to step up and the decisions taken by leaders during the coming year as well will be vitally important. There's a huge to-do list coming out of COP26 for COP27 in terms of climate negotiations and other aspects of climate action that will shape this critical next decade on climate nature and development. So COP26 was a major milestone and while there's no doubt that in some areas we move forward, many are asking if it went far enough and there are many areas we'll be exploring where follow-up action over the next year will really be needed in order to deliver on the areas where progress was made and the promise of Glasgow. There were also a huge range of outcomes outside of the formal negotiations themselves that probably won't be a particular focus of this discussion, things like the Glasgow Declaration on Forest and Land Use that aims to direct almost $20 billion to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030. That could be a big step forward if it's delivered on. Also worth mentioning the Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities Forest Tenure Joint Donut Statement that promises $1.7 billion to advance land tenure and resource tenure rights for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. Again, that could be a really significant development if it's delivered on. But I counted on the COP Presidency website some 30 outcome declarations which were kind of off to the side or separate from the main business and negotiations. So there's much as yet that we need to find out about what that really means and how it will roll forward. And we need to make sure, of course, that promises are kept and that they represent important developments in the journey towards strong climate action. We saw the progress made at Glasgow, but it is fragile. And from this point on, the momentum really needs to build. Today, our discussion will focus on the outcomes of the negotiations, as I was saying, the level of ambition played to what extent the outcomes respond to priorities of the 46 least developed countries, the LDCs. We will look at where we go from here and what the road to COP 27 should look like. And that's what our fantastic panel of speakers are here to discuss. So let me introduce them again quickly. Mamadou Honadier is Water and Forestry Conservator in Burkina Faso's Environment Ministry and the former UNF triple C head of delegation for Burkina Faso. Mamadou, we're delighted to have you here with us and speaking to us from what I did do. That's brilliant. We have delighted to welcome Tara Shine, who's a very experienced policy advisor and climate negotiator, director and co-founder of the Social Enterprise Change by Degrees and chair, I'm very honoured to have her as chair of the Board of Trustees for IAED. Tara, you're very welcome. It's brilliant to have you with us. And our third panelist is Madeleine Doussard, who is head of the Climate Change Division in the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of Senegal and is also the incoming chair of the LDC negotiating group in the climate negotiations. It's wonderful to have you with us, Madeleine. So, we'll now move to the panel discussion. We'll take 20 to 25 minutes over this and then we'll have some time for taking questions from the audience and we'll be monitoring the Q&A for that in particular. So, let me start by asking our three panelists for a very brief, one-minute reflection on the COP outcomes. How did it work for you? What did you see as the most important things that came out of Glasgow? Madeleine, can I start with you? Hello, yes. Thank you. Thank you, IAED, for organising these important events coming from COP26. Just to have a global view on where we come from. I'll come from COP26. Just to say that, yes, I think there was some a step that was being finalised here in Glasgow. And I think the issue related to the transparency, the issue related to the rule regarding the Article 6 under the Pariet agreement and also the issue regarding starting working on the adaptation goal to also considering loss and damage in more context. We have touched on the issue relating to finance, in particular adaptation, finance. So, I think there was some key important milestone that was being successfully completed in Glasgow. So, I think this was something good. And also there was, and I have to work on the coming years. And also regarding the loss and damage in the last few years, and also regarding the loss. Thank you very much, Madeleine. You're breaking up a bit. So, I'm going to move at this point to Tara. And I'll come back to you in a moment. Many, many thanks for those introductory thoughts. Tara, what would be your brief reflection on the Glasgow outcome? Oh, you think we would know that by now? It's so annoying. Thank you, Andy. Lovely to be with you all this morning. I'm so happy to hear your reflections, Madeleine. So, yeah, I think for me, not enough, but signs of hope would be my summary. So, I guess we, I know that these multilateral processes move slowly. That's because we're trying to get agreement. You know, any international law amongst 190 plus countries. So, it is always inevitably slow. But signs of hope, I think, and particularly in the fact that we will have countries coming back with new NDCs in 2022, trying to keep this political momentum to drive those, the level of national commitments closer to our 1.5 degree target. And I think there's a greater acceptance amongst the parties now that 1.5 is the only safe temperature goal and that we need to do so much more together to get there. So, yeah, signs of hope, absolutely. Thank you so much, Tara. Mamadou, can I come to you now for a quick overview reflection? What do you think was achieved, was not achieved at Glasgow? Andrew, I thank you very much. First of all, let me congratulate the UK. In this context of COVID-19, let's say it was really a challenge for UK in trying to organize such big events. So, on the organization matters, let's say, we can say it's a success. At the beginning, we were all suspicious. I personally complained at the beginning, at the entrance inside the conference premises, really it was very difficult. So, at the end, let's say, I have a positive assessment of COP26. First, because we have succeeded in completing the Paris Rule Book. It's a conference we cannot satisfy all parties. So, on Article 6, we are not satisfied, but we can take it. So, now we have a Paris Rule Book. That's a very good milestone in the UNFCCC processes. On finance matters, let's say we are also OK at 70-80%. This is my assessment. It's very good for us. On adaptation as well. We are in a process where let's continue talking. So, generally speaking, let's say it's a success. Thank you very much. Glass half full. Thank you very much indeed, Mamadou. Thanks to all three of you for those reflections. Tara, the Glasgow conference was touted as the last chance to keep 1.5 alive. I think that's a phrase we've heard before, but it was touted as the last chance to keep 1.5 alive. Recent reports sort of aggregating everything we know about pledges as against emissions, as against temperature in terms of the science, emphasise the urgent need to raise national plans and national ambitions to keep that target within reach. What did you make of the Glasgow outcome in relation to 1.5? Where do we actually stand? Thanks, Andy. I think this is important. This understanding of 1.5, what that means versus say a two-degree goal and what steps do we need to take? There is also part of this structured expert dialogue that I co-facilitate in the climate change negotiations. It informs the second periodic review of progress towards the long-term global goal under the convention. So basically, what more do we understand and are we using that understanding to make progress towards the goals of the convention and the Paris Agreement? And I think what I get is... So I was a bit annoyed with this last chance to keep 1.5 degrees alive because I think that was never the job of just one cop. That is a job which involves all of us and every government around the country. So the international process sets the direction of travel. It sets the rules and norms by which we will work together as a global community to combat climate change. But the action still happens at the national level. And that's where each government holds that responsibility. And we as citizens have responsibility to hold our governments to account. But I think what a very positive thing out of cop and this is in the language of the political decision for the cop and for the conference of the meetings, the parties, is this recognition that 1.5 is the safer option and that therefore that is the imperative that we're working towards. So this has become much more universal language than previously. So that's a good sign. I think a lot of the pledges that were made, the political pledges that were made in the margins of the cop, really help us to get closer. Not closer enough, as you said, Andy. Maybe we started off before the cop at 2.7 degrees. That's what the commitment's added up to. Now it's down to maybe 2.4. But that's contingent on all of those commitments being delivered. So being implemented and funded at the country level in all of these countries. And I think we also, at that political level with those decisions, there are so many of them that it makes it hard to track. And some of them I found hard to understand who's in which one, what's the baseline. So I think tracking those, once we have improved the transparency and accountability within the formal process, that was a big step forward, as Madeline said. We also need to ensure that we can track these political commitments.  And that happens within every country. So yeah, again, it's positive, but we just need to keep the momentum and keep doing more. Every year we waste, we make it harder. So it is about stepping up year on year, month on month. Thank you so much, Tara. Madeline, can I ask you a quick follow-up on that? Perhaps if you leave your camera off, maybe the volume will work better, the sound will work better. So perhaps you can do that. A key part of the notion at the end of the conference that 1.5 had been kept somehow within reach, although it's a huge challenge and a huge stretch, was to ask countries to come back at COP 27 in Charmel Shake in 2022 with new plans, new NDCs in line with the 1.5-degree pathways. Now, given that not all countries increased their ambition, either within their resubmitted NDCs and some did not actually submit NDCs for COP 26, how hopeful are you that that will work? The countries will come back with a significantly raised level of commitment on the key issue of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly over the next decade. Madeline. Thank you, Andrew, and so thank you, Tara. Please comment. I'm positive. I think the world is really looking at what's coming from the climate change action and where we're moving on. So I think this is something that we have to really approve and look for moving it forward. I also think that there is a necessity to build ambition everywhere and to show concrete action with impact on climate change but also impact on country's socio-economic profile. This is important. We have to show that it is working is something that doing some climate change action is key and is also profitable to all of us. So this is something we have to build and to increase through the ambition. I also think that the necessity to work with a partner and I think we have to bring the business people on board to increase and disseminate around the world the best solution. All this has to be done not only in some country but it has to be implemented in all the parties in the world in particular vulnerable countries, LDCs who are also part of the solution and we have to really find a way where we can bring government, a private sector society together for this ambition. And I do think that communication is key showing around the world what is working showing the benefit coming from the solution showing the stories is important and even if there are some lessons coming from some failure stories we have to build on that and I think this is something we have to be more aggressive for communication. Finance is important and we have to be sure that this place will be concrete and will happen on the fields so this is something we are looking for and I think the communication will help us to be more concrete in the coming years. Thank you very much indeed Madeleine and the emphasis on just transition and climate justice in the action going forward Mamadou, can I turn to you now I think one of the things that kind of hung over COP26 was the unfulfilled pledge by donor countries, OECD countries to deliver 100 billion dollars of climate finance per year by 2020 that was not hit in 2020 will not be hit in 2021 the target is actually 2023 so it's lagging quite a long way behind what progress was made do you think in relation to climate finance at Glasgow, not just on the 100 billion but also the question of adaptation finance and the gap between adaptation and mitigation and issues such as grants versus loans, Mamadou. Andrea thank you very much the success of Glasgow in financial matters on around 16 to 19 sub items related to finance let's say we haven't been able to complete one which is related to provision for technical and financial support why because we haven't given sufficient guidance to Jeff in order to help all developing countries because what we realized some countries like Palestine like Iran and now didn't get any support from Jeff in order to undertake the enabling activities mainly national communications BURs and other documents that needs to be provided by national circumstances, national countries so apart from that we have approved we have adopted all the rest of the decisions related to finance but now the problem is the contents items that are related to report from Jeff, report from GCF from the adaptation funds both decisions were adopted very quickly. So now coming to the long-term finance and the new collective quantified goal where the two major items that retains the attention of the international community and you will realize that during the last two days of the COP many consultations were held related to these two specific agenda items. They are very important I was a bit disappointed by our negotiating partners when it comes to take a decision on how we can move forward when we listen from some annex one party saying that they will wish to have only workshops to discuss on what would be the next collective quantifiable really it's disappointed they haven't fulfilled the first target for 2020 so you have a responsibility somewhere so now going to 2025 you would like a workshop to deal with such kind of issues fortnately we succeed in having a work program with some workshops but with also some other means on how the international community will talk together and being able to assess what developed countries will be able to provide by 2025 Secondly is the matter of the gap between 2020 and 2023 there is a gap which is not filled this is really an important problem for us first they haven't fulfilled in 2020 we are going into 2025 and there is another gap between 2020 and 2023 no decision from Glasgow deals with such kind of shortcomings so we will continue to talk to each other in order to be able to to take concrete decisions maybe in Egypt in Shermanshire on the other aspects let's say on adaptation we have a good signal the decisions are quite good we have to keep the momentum so the international community must know actually that adaptation is our priority and we got a very good signal from some parties starting by UK Ireland and other parties that would like really to invest on finance for adaptation so I'm a bit positive but what I would maybe recommend is to set up maybe a parallel process where developed countries that are really interested in assisting developing countries for adaptation would find a platform for them to assist developing countries as far as adaptation is concerned so I would not like not to be so long on this we can say broadly that we are satisfied at 70% as far as finance is concerned I thank you very much Thank you so much Mamadou some great points there the access issue is still really critical as you rightly pointed out and procedures are often too complicated and work to the disadvantage of many countries but also this vitally important 2025 process as well getting the definitions tighter but also the orders of magnitude should really be much, much greater and that's extremely clear so many, many thanks for that Madeleine, in order to achieve just and equitable outcomes I would also like to thank you for the voices at the negotiating table especially those of countries and communities at the front line of the climate crisis was the president's promise of convening the most inclusive cop in history fulfilled how successful do you think civil society was at encouraging a positive result Sarah, Madeleine isn't coming in on that I'm not sure if there's a technical problem do you want to take that one up while we sort that out Yeah happy to but Madeleine when you can connect just talk and I'll stop talking because you will have much better insights into this than me, I know that in terms of inclusion there were obviously some challenges that were COVID related so some participants were not able to travel from LDCs and SIDS to be represented it also meant that some of the delegations were smaller so a smaller delegation is a real challenge it means you have less people to send into the different negotiating rooms so therefore you can't be represented in every place which means procedurally it's unjust because you don't have as much voice I know that others are struggling with quarantine so from a personal perspective what people had to kind of sacrifice to attend the COP in some cases was quite huge one of my colleagues, my co-chair in the structured expert dialogue he's on day seven of a 21 day quarantine on returning to China so this is he'll be two months away from his family to attend COP so the personal sacrifice again is huge and again that won't work for women who are pregnant people who have someone that they're caring for then they wouldn't have been able to attend so attendance is one thing then inclusion in the rooms is another thing so obviously this is a cause of frustration particularly for many of the younger climate activists who want to be heard and they want to have a say and they want to see what happens inside these negotiating rooms but in fact that multilateral process is bound by rules which mean that everybody can't get in the door and even physically with COVID not everybody could get in the door but we need to find better ways of trying to get the lived experiences of the people most affected by climate change and least responsible in front of the politicians and the decision makers so whether that's future generations, young people right now are people living with the climate impacts in LDCs in small island developing states because that brings the reality it helps to bring actually the emotion and feeling and lived impact of climate change into what can otherwise be very sterile and diplomatic in negotiating spaces so there's more to be done there but I would say that the marches the protest, the voices outside the pavilions, the greens, all of this and the wider conversation that was generated by COP is a really positive outcome from COP it has grown, more people are interested in it and the pressure that is put on the process from the outside in is felt and heard inside those negotiating rooms people do need to know that, they do feel it but yeah, we still need to work harder on finding ways to get the real voices directly in front of the decision makers so that they can't they feel that impact and they feel those losses they feel what it's like because we have to bring more human empathy into the process Thank you so much Yes, I would like to step in because it's a very important issue as Madeleine is not around I am here thank you my internet is not good today just to echo what Tara is saying I think the role of the civil society is a key and also as been said by the presidency bringing all voice in this process is important I think as been said by Tara I think having civil society around we will put some pressure on government in particular the key leader and I do think that this is something we have to it's a process where we need all as I say all actors to be around and the civil society can bring pressure can bring ambition can bring also innovation and also keep the equity aspect and also be something we have to think about we show that all decision we are going to take on this big process are equitable enough to ensure that all vulnerable actor or vulnerable country are also well well consider in the process and also we show transparency this voice are important for transparency and I think what we need is to see what atmosphere is completely considering so I think the transparency need be wrong and I think civil society this voice women, young, youth all these things are important for the assessment and keeping us on the right trajectory we are supposed to bring forward thank you. Thank you so much Madeline I'm sure many of the people on the call from civil society organizations will be hugely encouraged to hear those words from you leading one of the really important negotiating blocks going forward towards COP 27 with the emphasis on transparency on accountability as well as on equity and climate justice so many many thanks for that Mamadou if I can come to you actually on another topic that's of significant importance on climate justice obviously and also finance a small but symbolic step was taken by the Scottish government when First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced a pledge of two million pounds of operation and money to go towards addressing loss and damage from climate change in poor countries and this is a global first do you think this signals a political shift in the way governments will tackle or have to tackle their historical responsibility for the loss and damage affecting the poorest countries Mamadou. Andrew I thank you very much for that this is a political good signal it reminded me the contribution from a consortium of donors on life are for least developed countries so that's why you know in my previous intervention I said I would wish to have a parallel process where those who feel that they have to do something for developing countries must find a platform to act to take action so what the Scottish government has done is really something which must be encouraged really my congratulations loss and damage is one of the high priority for developing countries what so ever we will be saying adaptation is one thing if the meteorological services said something will happen this evening we can adapt we will take some measures in order to adapt despite the means we will gather in order to adapt to this that's where loss and damage come on so now we have our call it lives we have investments that are destroyed life that are lost how could we manage this I think maybe the mistake we have done was in Paris there is an article in the Paris agreement so now we are all fighting to get something for loss and damage because without any funding mechanism really we are lost so what the Scottish government has done should be encouraged and from this platform I really wish to invite the NS1 communities really to advocate for loss and damage it will assist a lot it will help us to recover a bit so it's a very good political signal and I hope that our plea will be really understood by others I thank you Andrew I'm going for a moment there's a piece we've produced this year from IID looking at case studies of ways in which loss and damage can be addressed effectively and operationally on the ground so I'd encourage people to look that up as well but it's a fast moving debate and the politics of this need to ramp up and those are great comments before going to the audience questions it's from Madeline the negotiations for the global stock take came to an end in Glasgow and the first phase of the stock take process has now been launched how confident are you that the review mechanisms of the Paris agreement will produce raised ambition for the future Madeline thank you Andrew for this important question regarding the global stock take as you mentioned it we start the process from November 21 to until June 23 so there was a roadmap that was been established in order for extraction to have some technical discussion on the GST I think there was first some informal consultation that was happened before the COP and also during the COP there was a decision on how to implement the process around the GST I think we also expecting to have the report from the IPCC that's supposed to come on June before June 22 so this is also important we have the first report and we're looking for having additional additional report so all these documents will be helpful for the process it will allow also country to country and group of country to look at to have some key documentation key element and also to have enough product in order to see how to make this assessment I think it's good to start assessing but when you're assessing I think also you need to implement I think the implementation also is something we have to do because assessing something there is no implementation it's also just doing something without having some base to do it and I think the implementation of our NDC is key parties have provided the NDC and are looking to implement so I think we have to have in parallel with the two process ensure that NDC are ongoing for implementation ensure so that the global stock the evaluation we have enough product enough information in order to assess something so this is something we have to work on so my comment is really to ensure that we are implementing NDC we have an action on the ground in order to be sure that we have something to assess and from that I think it's really important that we have the ambition so what I'm saying has been saying before is coming from COP 26 action on the ground is needed great thank you very much indeed Madeleine and all of the panel for that quick conversation I'm going to move now from the floor and we've got some great questions as well to take us further in many of the areas we've already discussed actually and in the interest of time I'm going to ask each question to one panelist so that we can move through quickly as many as possible in the next 15 minutes so firstly from from the Greenfighter organization we know well great to have you in this event in ESA and I'm going to put her question to Tara it's how can we ensure that we strengthen the vulnerable countries and communities on the road to COP 27 Thank you in the ESA for your question this is really important because COPs are just a moment in time they're a moment in time when the spotlight shines and as you say in your comment that international process is really important it's why for all its imperfections we need a multilateral agenda around climate change because a global problem needs a global solution and a problem like climate change that's so unfair even more so requires this global solution because we can't get a fairness just by each country looking after itself the fairness comes from us supporting every country to make the transition to zero carbon future and from every country being supported to manage adaptation to deliver adaptation and to deal with the losses and damages associated also with climate change so I think this is where the investment in developing countries in vulnerable communities really matters so it's where the delivery of climate finance and the building really happens and so there are things that IID does such as working with the LDC negotiators to support their capacity to support the time that they have together to prepare their positions that's really important in building up the voice of those least developed countries in time for COP but in terms of the communities themselves the climate finance, the technology transfer and capacity building that we talk about in the abstract in the UNFCCC is so important because it is what actually starts to solve problems and protect people here and now so that's just critically important Thank you so much Tara the next question also from a very special partner for IID from Professor Salim al-Haq director of the International Center for Climate Change and Development in Dhaka, Bangladesh and great also Salim to have you in this event and I'm going to put his question because it deals with loss and damage that we heard very eloquently from Mamadou Ramba I would like to put his question to Madeline as the incoming chair of the LDC group what's your take Madeline and what's your outcome on loss and damage that's the outcome in the text rather than the Scottish government's path breaking commitment Madeline Thank you, thank you Nadu and thank you for Salim for his question on loss and damage on a practical way I do think there is really a need to build capacity around all LDC countries regarding how to better integrate loss and damage in a national process I think this is important we all facing some climate strong events we all see how it affects having some great effect on poor countries we need to show the world that yes we as LDC we are really vulnerable we are really affected we lost a lot from climate events as well but also we have to show what I can call it a local capacity of adaptation I think we also need to look at what are the effort made by these the solution they are putting on the table and see how we can help them to increase the effort to increase the solution they put on the table so I think also showing action maybe will help a lot for all communities to look at some great solution is coming from SM event this is something I think it can work if I take the case of Senegal we are having flow and I don't know that Bangladesh also have some concrete way of lesson that can be also been shared on all countries that are also been affected by such kind of extreme events so we need really to bring people together from the local process so this is also something we have on the table so this is what I want to provide for the question coming from Salem thank you Andi can I jump in and add one thing Tom said I know I'm not supposed to but with this focus on capacity building I think it's important to add to that because due to extreme weather and slow onset events are impacting countries with less financial resources to respond and I think building that capacity is something that we don't give enough attention to either just to add to Madeline's point thank you great points from both of you thank you very much obviously this is an incredibly important discussion going forward and there will be a huge amount more action in that space from COP26 going into COP27 in particular landing the dialogue process towards something more concrete on finance the next question is from another partner very familiar Vincent Ganey from FCDO UK great to have you with us Vincent and Vincent's question is about an underlying theme at COP26 of hearing local voices empowering them in decisions on the use of adaptation finance themes on locally led adaptation and that was a really important element of the discussions and indeed of many of the commitments made on the side so Mamadou do you feel that that emphasis on the importance of locally led action in relation to adaptation was sufficiently represented in the COP outcomes in the text of the COP itself Mamadou I think the COP the COP decisions present a lot of loopholes as far as locally led adaptation is concerned I think we should at national level try to convert the decision into a national ownership in order to see how we can spread as much as possible the decisions at the decentralized level so this is a homework national experts must do we should interpret the decisions and try to explain how our realities are and what are the decisions the national decisions we must be taken yes we receive decisions from the international community but we have to translate in another language other national circumstances so it's up to us as developing countries mainly these developed countries to see how we can take advantage of the decisions in order to give an hope to the local communities as far as adaptation is concerned so it will depend on the decision we will be taken that's why we have to share our experiences and I know that Salim Moulouk is working very hard in that area we have to learn with him with his organization and I know that in the next five years some outcomes could come on board and be able to share with the international community maybe at COP 29 thank you sir thank you very much indeed I have two more questions that I would like to get through and then I will probably have to close at that point I have a fantastic and very rich discussion Tara for you first a question from Christina Arribas what are some of the ways you think citizens can keep governments accountable and make them act according to their promises Tara thanks Christina great question and I think this really starts close to us all I think for citizens you need to start with in your area so in developed and developing countries local authorities are now doing much more to integrate climate change into their local development plans into their corresponding budgets and most of those budgets are available publicly or at least on request so being able to say well this is what's committed to in our local development plan I haven't seen that happen in my community you know ask questions of your elected local representatives and then the same approach works for national elected representatives as well so you can do this as an individual or perhaps even better is to join with an existing group that already has an interest in this area but possibly needs more volunteers because everywhere needs more volunteers at the moment but you just ask these questions you can ask parliamentary questions of your elected officials and you can call in to the constituency office of your local member of parliament all of these things are official ways and means whereby we can hold our governments to account and as I say don't forget that starts really quite close to you in terms of where you live and your local authority and the plans they have so yeah I'd say get stuck in let's pick up the phone if not get involved with the group that's already doing this great thanks so much Tara I'm going to come with one final question for Mamadou and then we'll start Madeline as the leader of the LDC negotiating group for any final thoughts on the discussion before I close so Mamadou this question picks up article 6 and there are a few questions on article 6 but I'm going to put it to you in a very very simple way what do you think the priorities should be going forward on article 6 now that we do have a text and as you say we have finished the Paris rule book what do you think are the priorities for countries civil society and other actors on the question of markets and article 6 Mamadou thank you very much Andrew I think we must start preparing ourselves on how we will engage in article 6.4 because on 6.2 we cannot control the market that will be put in place and facilitate exchange of you know units between parties if we start engaging we will try to make things different from what we have experienced under the CDM this is one secondly we will continue advocating that we need share of proceeds from 6.2 to 7.2 and we will try to plan the adaptation funds it is very crucial for us so you know from 1995 where the first conference of the parties was held in Berlin to the Kyoto protocol we have listened and learned through how I call it to a trade it's becoming a financial convention a financial process that's not what we expected from this process it's really something it's like a diversion of the discussions on climate change it's like money only so our negotiating parties should come on board and try to give a sort of humanism in our process really there is something missing somewhere so this is my way of seeing things if we don't come up with another way of thinking on climate change really it will be very important because the environmental integrity will collapse so let us start from developing countries on how we will tackle you know 6.4 in order to have more projects have more units that will help us and we continue to discuss on 6.2 that was a fascinating answer with lots and lots of substance we're slightly overrunning now but I will ask your forgiveness to overrun by about 5 minutes and let me firstly ask Madalene if there is just anything at all that you want to highlight from the perspective of the LDCs before I make some very brief closing remarks and thank you so much for joining us Madalene thank you thank you Andrew I just want maybe also to use this opportunity to thank the LDCs chair from Bhutan I think the team of Bhutan under his leadership have made a great job for guiding the LDCs group of negotiation and also for increasing the capacity among LDCs delegate and LDCs countries I think we want to be really grateful to him I just want also to use this opportunity to thank all partners who have worked in order to support to assist the LDCs to make their voice well known around the world and I think LDCs became really important group in this negotiation process and even in the implementation of part of the climate change so my point is yes we need to go on action on action pathway so how we can help LDC to to be part of a solution to play role in the process at the implementation level and I think I am saying also when you implement you increase your capacity so we need to implement learning by doing so I am looking for really working with all partners and all LDCs countries to see how we can really go in action process for coming years thank you I am going to wrap up now huge thanks to our panel for being with us and for your really thoughtful and insightful contributions I am sure everyone on the webinars really appreciated that thank you to Tara and to Madeleine for joining us for this discussion I would also like to thank all of the participants sorry to those of you whose questions I didn't get to but I think we have had a really good discussion and we have covered a huge amount of ground we will share a link to the recorded session soon on our website and by email along with the resources shared in the chat during the session I would also like to give a quick plug now to invite you all to join IID's regular usually every two years of course delayed by Covid Barbara would like to either in person or online it will be in London on Monday 6 December and our speaker is a fantastic speaker Rebecca Greenspan the incoming secretary general of the United Nations conference she will be speaking to the issue of describing Costa Rica's journey to global climate leadership and what can we learn from a good example many of you will have seen that Costa Rica has co-chaired with Denmark the beyond oil and gas alliance which is a real cutting edge and really a global challenge to address this issue Costa Rica still very much in the forefront of global climate action as they have been for many years and if you do have Juliet will share a link in the chat for that event and if you do have a minute we would be hugely grateful if you would share your feedback on the event by clicking on the link in the chat box to do a simple survey and with that I will close this webinar and say huge thank you again to everyone

Why did you start this project of reviewing restaurants in Jerusalem? I was getting bored and my best friend had betrayed me. He was just staying home, he wasn't coming to restaurants with me anymore. I was sending him things on WhatsApp and he was just giving me the thumbs up sign. Then I thought, why? That's all I'm getting for that. I was interested for an hour and a half, I took 20 pictures, I ate all this food. So I put it on Facebook and suddenly I'm getting a thousand likes and 400 comments. So I realised people want this concept. People are hungry for excitement and action. So it's going well. So we'll see what people say about this low-cost pizza. Chimish, which is very popular in Israel. What they say about that when I do a review of that. Are you excited about the ship? You started a YouTube series called Chim Show in Jerusalem. Is video your new platform Chim Show? I'm not sure, but it's certainly, I'm just kind of going with the flow. As Rivaya said, you're just going to enjoy life and see what happens. So that's the way we're living at the moment. But Israel, you know, it's an action every day and this building is a treasure. I hope they don't take it down one day because it's just so much interesting stuff here. So we'll see what happens. I mean, there's no one else. You can see 10 old photocopies from the 80s. There's no one else in Israel. Keep up the good work Daniel. I still can't tell if this is a comedy show or an actual tour. But either way, I'm really enjoying it.


Hi, my name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food.  On our channel, you'll find simple and tasty recipes using everyday ingredients. Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, I am continuing with my low-spin December, and that is where I'm just trying to use what I have on hand this month. So, from my freezer, I grabbed this Trader Joe's Meat Lasagna. We really like it a lot. It is very good. It tastes a lot better than Stofers. But I will say that this lasagna will probably feed maybe two to three people. If you have more than that in your family, one is not going to be enough for you all. But again, we really like it. I prepared it in the oven and serving it with a garden herb salad. As you can see, I got it on clearance. I just wanted to give it a try, and it has a vinaigrette dressing in it. It has shredded provolone, garlic croutons, and a garden herb dressing. So here is the salad on the plate, and here is the lasagna, and just serving it with a bread stick. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see you all next time. Hey guys, so Howard and I are trying out a new Asian restaurant for dinner. And so this is just our hot and sour soup, and it is a large hot and sour soup. As you can see, there is a big soup bowl here. And then here is my portion, and here is Howard's portion. And when our entrees come, I will be back. Okay, so our entrees just came out, and I got the seshwan chicken, and that is cabbage in there. And then Howard got the Hunan beef, the Hunan beef, and as you can see there's bunches, there's lots of veggies in there. And then with his entrees, he wanted the steamed rice right here. And with my entrees, I wanted the fried rice. And the only thing that we are waiting on are the dumplings. And our dumplings just came out. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see you all next time. Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, we are having this boneless pork shoulder that I had in my freezer. And I got it from Target over the summer. So it was $8.99. I got it for $4.50. It's seasoned and marinated, and you're actually supposed to cook it in this bag that it's in. Now I don't feel comfortable doing that, so I'm going to take it out of the bag and put it in my little mini roaster here. And I'm going to cover and cook it for 90 minutes, just like the instructions on the package say. So I will be back. Okay, so here is the pork shoulder, and it smelled really good while it was cooking, and it tastes really good too. It is a little salty though, but it has a really good flavor. Now you're supposed to shred it and serve it on a bun, but we're just eating it like this along with some Jamaican rice and peas. I do have a video on our channel showing how I make my rice and peas, and then we're just having some Caesar salad on the side from Aldi. I talk about the salad kit all the time. We really like it a lot. They're Caesar salad kit. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, we are having breakfast enchiladas, and I did record a video on how I make these enchiladas. And that video will be out on Thursday. These are so easy to make and they are perfect for any meal of the day. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, we are having this holiday tree pizza that I picked up from Aldi during a recent Aldi haul. I'll link it in the description box, but it is in the shape of a Christmas tree. And so here it is, and it has mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, red and green bell peppers, and a pesto cream sauce. Haven't cut it yet, of course, because I wanted you all to see what it looked like whole. So I'm going to cut it, and then we'll taste it and let you guys know what we think. Okay, so I tasted a bite of the pizza, and it's just okay, kind of bland, but you know, it's not bad. Would I buy it again? Probably not, but it's just okay. And I will say, you probably couldn't tell from the video, but this pizza is pretty small.  You're definitely going to need some size or something with it, but this is all we've got tonight. So anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see you all next time.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So it looks like we will be having some new information coming out about screen 5 shortly Judging from the behind-the-scenes images that have come out from the official project X entertainment Instagram page from yesterday nearly a day ago a day ago after this recording some new images showing Matt and Benelli open Tyler Gillette and Chad Vilella and also Guy Busek and James Vanderbilt on Set of some location that it is related to screen 5 and they have a green screen in the background It's these images you see coming across the screen Looks like these of course are being going to be some interviews that are getting conducted with the directors alongside The pair of writers involved guy Busek and James Vanderbilt to hear their thoughts and their excitement I guess and their mentality going into Screen 5 since this is Definitely something that everyone involved is excited about The two people I know are the most excited in my honest I mean have to be the two directors coming off of ready or not getting to jump into a well-known well-established IP like scream Getting to carry a mantle that most people prior to hearing who would be directing scream Didn't really want this franchise to be brought back up again If it wasn't going to be West Craven at the helm, but everyone's open to giving these to a chance I know they're they're well aware of what they're stepping into and I I can't wait to see what they have cooked up for us and My guess is that this stuff will be of course leading into The summertime Throughout the fall we won't get everything because I again This is just like reassuring my speculation that we'll get a teaser trailer attached to a quiet place When it comes out later this month in theaters But we could also get is a we could also just get a behind-the-scenes Feature at with the quiet place to when it releases in theaters later this later this month Because honestly what they're doing is they're working on their electronic press kit. That's just basically going to be a comp a a big file comprised of behind-the-scenes images and Feature ads and interviews with the director like what it looks like is going on here interviews with the writers all this stuff that will be used for Press releases that are sent out to the people that are involved with the media in the press and have access to those type of databases to Go in and look at them when they'll be released to the public But they'll be they'll be also stored in these other little sites that people that aren't in the press don't have access to the electronic press kit It's definitely what they're working on. So I can't wait to see what happens with these interviews Can't wait to see what they all have to say when they come out. I know we're all looking forward to screen 5 This is like the only little bit of news we've gotten recently We are the news is that we can expect new interviews. That's literally what the news is We can expect new behind-the-scenes stuff to come out soon, of course Hopefully this means that a teaser like I said before will be attached to a quiet place to when that releases in theaters later this month I cannot wait to see how this film plays out. I know that again the two directors involved They have to be on cloud nine about this whole thing. They have to be on cloud nine I do want to also shout out. Hello, Sydney. Hello, Sydney did Do and do a little article about this I'll leave a link to that article down in the description because the next thing I want to talk about is There's been some buzz According to this article about press screenings that have been going on not press greetings I'm like test screens. I test screenings. Yeah, test screens going on across the US in places such as Texas even so No word on how true that is but I can say that I Heard a little bit about this Apparently the response to it. This is coming from people off of reddit Apparently the response to it has been mostly positive From what this individual is saying a mostly positive response from whatever they've seen There seems to have been a very Positive or shocking reaction to a moment in the film that that's relating to Something to do with one of the killers, but those are all the details. I'll just disclose there Those are that's that's really all I want to go into they didn't say much on what they when they were sharing this So yeah, there's been some test screenings apparently going on with the film So that tells me that they are confident in what they have to put out here They probably have an idea of what what direction are gonna go what stuff they're gonna keep in everything regarding the production is Coming to a close as far as like the final stages and putting in the mixing for the music All of the stuff that goes into the final stages of production before they are ready to put out that teaser Which I am again speculating will be attached to a quiet place to when that comes out this month I think it'll just be a short one minute 20 second video. Maybe even shorter than that maybe 50 seconds long just showing us and getting as hyped for what's to come not maybe not even showing us too too much new footage it could be like a reminiscent to what the scream three teasers did like setting us up knowing the rules of a trilogy And using like image images and clips and footage from the first two films They could do something similar with the teaser for screen five just show Videos and clips of the past entries that we've gotten and then at the very end for the last 10 15 seconds we saw we see some new footage that'll get us all hyped and amped up for the full official trailer That of course will not come out until closer to the end of the year Maybe in October sometime to get everyone hyped for January That's just what I'm thinking about when I think what we could get in the teaser If it's something that happens attached to a quiet place to or just in general could go the other way, of course They could have something that's overly long and and shows us more than probably what most of you will want to see myself included If they go out and put of put out a full-fledged trailer like that I don't think they should put anything else out depending on what they put in this teaser or what what they decide to do in the teaser I Might I might not even want to see a full-fledged trailer It depends on what they put into the teaser because we don't I don't know what they're gonna put You don't know what they're gonna put they could put a variety of different things that put a lot of us at peace with saying Okay, yeah, we don't want to see anymore. We're excited, but this this is enough, but we know how that goes So let me know what you guys think about all this down the comment section below What do you guys think about these images? Are you excited about this? Can you not wait to see these new interviews? When do you think they'll come out? What do you think will be happening later this month? Do you think something will happen regarding a trailer? Do you think we'll get a first look at the film? Do you think we'll get? Some more information about the plot direction of this film I'm also looking forward to seeing these cast cast member interviews because of course There's got to be interviews with the new cast members Melissa Borreira, Jena Ortega Of course get to see the OG's Neve Campbell David all their interviews too But I'm mostly more interested in seeing the the The new young stars participation in new supporting cast But let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below If you haven't already make sure you subscribe turn on post notification image video in the description I have links to my social media accounts my Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course them is any movies news or reviews you like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video

I am Susan Sandvik, I am a new community development specialist here at Mighty Cause, but I come with 20 years plus experience with fundraising, everything from tiny, tiny, small startup nonprofits who would love to just be able to make $500 during giving Tuesday to big, huge national nonprofits who are looking to raise, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars on giving Tuesday.

I'm still new here, so I'm going, you have to give me a little grace. So we'll be having a Q&A at the end of our session. So if you go to the Q&A section of your Zoom taskbar, entering your questions there and I will get to them at the end of this class. I just know myself and I know that responding to chat while I'm trying to teach webinars a little much for my brain. So just put your questions in the Q&A and I will definitely will have a Q&A section at the end of class. Thanks everybody so much. All right. So as I said, we're going to go through six easy steps. So step one, register. Just go to givingtuesday.mightycause.com, click register now and registering is easy. It is free. And it literally only takes a moment of your time, especially if you've used our platform before for other purposes. Now, registration facts. If you are an admin, Mighty Cause will pull the information from your account. So like I said, if you've done, if you worked with us before, it will be especially easy. You can select your organization by searching your, the name of your nonprofit or your EIN. As you can see here, it's American Red Cross, the EIN is the Denver one. So you can kind of make sure that we're picking the correct one organization that you want this fundraising page to be associated with. When you register, you must complete the form and complete four items on your to-do list in order to fully register for your page. It's really simple. You need your logo in your banner. So you need to get two images ready to upload into your page. You want to edit your story, and then you want to make sure that your thank you pages is edited to meet your organization's needs. Step two, let's get your organization page ready. So when you are, once you have your page up and ready, you have some essential must-do items, but you also, this is a great opportunity to kind of change everything on your giving page to kind of meet giving Tuesday as well as your end of year fundraising needs. So as I said, you want to add your logo. You want to add your background image and you're going to edit your thank you page. You want to edit your story, but this is an opportunity to kind of change your story a little bit. We're at the end of the year. So it's a great opportunity to showcase the impact you've made so far in 2022. What some exciting plans are for 2023. How past donors, how their donations have impacted the community. You really want to keep your story current because we all know that the economic climate is impacting us. So have rising prices affected your budget. Do you have any new needs in your community that have come up because we're in this post COVID era? Like what's going on in your organization? Put it in there. Tell your story in a quick and efficient way. And this is a great opportunity to kind of switch it up a bit. And finally, you want to set up your EFT because let's be honest, we all just want to make sure we actually get the money that we raise. Okay. So first step is you want to customize your profile. This is the main link that you're going to share with your supporters. So this is where this is the link. You copy and paste this URL and you share it on social media and you have it hyperlinked from different blogs and different places. And you add this to your emails telling people, okay, click here to donate to our cause as a whole. So you want to really customize the look in the field and you can easily get there by going to your dashboard and all admins have access to your dashboard. And just go to the organization page, click edit mode and start editing it to kind of meet your giving Tuesday needs. And then as I was talking about before, this is the time to tell a powerful story of why your donors should give to your organization for giving Tuesday. Not only do we like to tell a story here, but you also the fun part about giving Tuesday is you're adding a sense of urgency, because it's giving Tuesday so 24 hour giving day. And then you want to make it obviously on our page we have an easy that you have how to give. But this is your opportunity to kind of tell people why they should give and and and make it just really simple and impactful. All right. So add or update your goal or progress bar. This is something that we think is really important. We're talking about a giving day. So it's almost like you should have a goal just for this day only. Not as you may as an organization want to raise, let's say $50,000, you know, for the year, you want your organization, your organization on this day, your goal might be $1,000 and you want to actually be able to see that throughout the day that's part of the excitement of a day like giving Tuesdays you get to see that thermometer actually move. So now you have a place you can edit it so you can edit your growth goal and progress bars by using the quick edit menu. And then just clicking on the little pencil icon that you can see where it says edit goal. And then you just set your goal for giving Tuesday campaign. If you've had giving Tuesdays in the past, a good rule of thumb is just in have an increased total amount for this year. And if you've never ever had a giving Tuesday campaign to go. You can check with your team and you can come together with a goal, but a good first year goal for many small nonprofits is could just be $1,000. You want to add a progress bar to your page and then all the metrics will automatically reset to start on the 15th. When you register with our giving Tuesday page. So when early donations open up, then everything will be able to all donations then made to your website will be added to that goal progress bar that you added in there. You want to optimize your checkout flow. A lot of people, they just think about the donation form when people are checking out but you're, you have to kind of think about the entire experience of your donors.  So sometimes people will put, give $20 and 22 cents in honor of the 2022 giving day campaign, or, or they make all of the donations, smaller amounts possibly than you normally have, because in all honesty you don't want to have somebody to put $25,000 online. And this is a great opportunity to put some maybe smaller totals, you might want to focus on monthly donations from some of your donors so you want to make sure that you put information about monthly donations on your page. Of course you can always add impact statements to each of your donor descriptions. And so that way you're saying okay $50 will buy backpacks for our readathon classroom, or for you know $100 will buy costumes for all of each cast member of Sound of Music, I don't know, but whatever you can think of, you can definitely come up with ways that you can add descriptions to each of your donations amount. Make your descriptions though clear and to the point. This is not the place to write a dissertation about where the money goes. This is a place where you can just write it something quick, easy, and, and something that will make them want to actually click that, that button and that amount. Then, when you do all of that, you always, you want to make sure that you preview the checkout process. Go through the entire experience to see what your donors are going to be going through. So you want to make sure that it's a quick and easy process. They aren't checking off way too many plate fields. There's definite studies out there that say the more fields that you add, the more opportunity you can lose a donor. And so you definitely want to make sure that it's quick succinct, and it's getting you the information that you need at your organization. You want to make sure that you take a look at the thank you page and at your donation receipts and make sure that that they're clear there to the point. They have giving Tuesday information in there. Then, and, and, and that that they're just meeting your actual needs for the day of your thank you page. So you want to go in when you go into your thank you page you want to go to the dashboard checkout and thank you page. And then it's a simple inline editor. So, so this is what comes up after you make a donation. Thanks, you can embed a video and I know a lot of people think that they're like well we don't have a videographer and we don't have all this fancy stuff. We all right now have a great little camera on our phones. And a lot of times, these thank you videos. You can be you can get them at an event and just have everybody at the event screaming thank you having kids in a classroom screaming thank you. It's just a way to kind of thank people in a simple way, and, and make them realize the impact they're making what their donation. You can also making the edits to your thank you for donating page. You. This is the fastest way to show your gratitude basically because this is an auto responder. This is a minute you hit your hit donate, you're getting this is the first thing that they're going to see. So just acknowledge that just think about that when you're putting your message together. Yeah, this is a big one. Make sure you click save. I don't know how many times I have gone in and made edits to something and I don't click save. And then I have to go and rewrite it again. We've all been there we've all done it and we want to make sure that you guys don't learn from my mistakes and click save. So, not only do people get a thank you message after they donate, but they also get an email receipt. And so you can edit that receipt that they get by clicking dashboard check out donation receipt. You can add a message from your nonprofit, you can automate this by using the receipts you're instantly automating the donor acknowledgement so once again, you make a donate, you get the thank you page and bam, you're already getting the donation receipt in your mailbox receipts should be concise, but this is also a great opportunity, especially for Giving Tuesday to give some post donations calls to actions. So what that means are things like hey, thank you so much for a gift you know how else you can help us, you can share this that you donated on social media, you can challenge five friends to donate. You can. We have these great volunteer opportunities coming up in in December, you come back and volunteer with our organization, you have so many opportunities to get new donors to become more involved in your organization and help raise your money on for your end giving. So take that opportunity to make sure that you edit your donation receipt to meet that those Giving Tuesday possible needs. And then this is an opportunity also. I'm not a big fan of putting up, you know, lengthy dissertation in a receipt, but I do love the opportunity to be able to hyperlink and click on a place where I can see. Okay, tell me more about your organization tell me more about the impact of my donation. Tell me more about your accomplishments. If you need to do it in the receipt itself, you have plenty of opportunities to do it just by letting them click on links and explore on their own. And once again, make sure you click save. So another thing that we want to make sure that all of you do is review your nonprofits settings. So, all of the admins will need access to your profile, you want to make sure that everybody who you want to be an admin. It has access. So make sure that they're added make sure that that everybody has access to all of the tools they need. And make sure you create a backup plan. If something goes wrong. You want to make sure that you are not the only one you are not the only keeper of the keys that there's possibly somebody else that can help you out and just is an admin as well. You want to make sure your URL is customized and then go in cut and paste that URL and different browsers you want to see what they're seeing. And sometimes when we as admins we kind of get into the nuts and bolts too much that we kind of forget about the actual donor process. So make sure that your URLs are working. Discoverability make sure that it is turned on. It helps for people to, they'll be able to search for your organization and find you and make donations. Social sharing options are customized and optimized. Make sure that you have like when you are going through your donor experience click on every single place where there's a possible link. Make sure that every single place is working and it's showing your organization the best way that it can. Make sure your EFT is set up because what's the use of raising money on on giving Tuesday if you don't get the money. So make sure your EFT is set up because that's the easiest way to get some money from your money dispersed to you. And make sure your legal address and legal information is up to date. So that way, all of our information, we all are sharing the exact same information at all times. All right.  I think the given Tuesday started in 2012 so this would be the 10th giving Tuesday so this is your 10th giving Tuesday. Well, if it is, you should be focusing on retention. So you can check your retention rate on your overview page or your retention reports. And you and we really do believe that you should develop a specific plan for donors who have given before to make sure that they give some time between giving Tuesday and the end of this year. So just look at last year's donors and have a whole plan set up for those people. I'm going to tell you a personal story I know. I just recently helped out an organization. They wanted to get new donors that was really important to the board that they get new donors and they put sent out this mailing and I don't know it was sent out to like 2000 people it's very small organization, but they their board worked hard they got 2000 emails out. And I told them that they should really be focusing on retaining their old donors as well. We had a plan. They said they want to send a mailing in September, and then I said in December, I would like to send another mailing to anybody who got that mailing and still hasn't donated. I'm like, no, no, no, don't do that. So I said, how about this, I'm going to cherry pick 30 people end up these people didn't to the cause I want to make sure that you have that you are able to you're creating your retention plan. You just want to make sure that you give them an opportunity to make sure you're contacting them. Excuse me, I'm sorry I'm seeing people are raising their hands and so now I'm concerned. Hopefully you guys can hear me better. I've got some complaints that I went out for a bit. So, so hopefully you guys can hear me better, and hopefully I will be answering a bunch of these questions at the end of the session. I think that we can just kind of keep plugging along. But if you guys hear any more. If I do start to break up. Just let me know again raise your hands and I'll make sure I check out the Q&A. Okay, thanks. It's easy to track retention throughout the early giving for a little more targeted follow up so once again, you can easily run your retention reports from your dashboard. If you've done this before, and that's the key. And then and then you make sure that you really work on retaining those donors, not just for Giving Tuesday but for your entire end of year of giving one question that just keeps popping up so I just want to ease everybody's piece of mind give you guys peace of mind. I am recording this and you will get the slides of this presentation added and sent to you after we give the presentation is over. Okay. All right, so let's move on and sorry for, I don't know bad internet connection maybe, but hopefully you guys can hear me now. All right. Step three of our of our six steps is use the mighty cause resources. So we have a very robust toolkit that is available to you and these the tools that we have available if you are a brand new to do planning giving Tuesday campaigns. We have tons of people who have tons of experience who have put together some great basics ways that you can use mighty cause ways that you can use best practices. Easy marketing and social media tool kits. We have all sorts of things and it's not just for for you the nonprofit, but we also have like fundraiser tool kit so if you're doing peer to peer fundraising it's something that you can send to your board members or your key stakeholders that are doing fundraising for you for giving Tuesday. So make sure that you're using all of the resources that we have available to you and all of them are easily accessible at giving Tuesday dot mighty cause dot com. And then you just click on resources and you can look at the nonprofit toolkit or any of the other resources. So we have in our toolkit we have case studies I just went through all of this but we have case studies that are from successful nonprofits so like I said we have tons of people have been doing this for a while. Why not if you're going to steal steal from the best. So we're making sure that we gave you some case studies of successful nonprofits. We have planning guides we have email templates we have social media guides we have graphics that you can use and all sorts of different logos and media graphics. And one thing that I swear by I don't know what I did before it was created. But if you are don't have a canva account and that's canva.com. All nonprofits gets to use their tools their graphic design tools for free. But if you aren't using it, get on that right away and I'll make sure I share this at the end as well. Guys, it was super easy as I mentioned to you that you need to have a logo and a banner on your website you can make sure that your your banners are meeting the size requirements your logos look really great and they fit those size requirements. You can just pump type in the size requirements and canva and design it. You can use any upload any of our logos and instantly add giving Tuesday logo to a great picture that you have that's showing impact. So there's all sorts of great ways that you can create your own personal toolkit by using the tools that we are providing for you. If you're new to this, if you're old to this, you pass trainings, we have tons of recordings we have recordings that are going on and webinars that are going on live, but we also have tons recording from the past. If you're new, use the resources and listen to as many recordings as you possibly can. If you're old. I love I still listen to recordings all the time and nowadays with things being available to me on YouTube. I would treat them like I would a podcast or, or an audio book, you know, if I'm sitting around and I need a little company as I'm working, I can put on a YouTube video and who knows something might inspire you. So I hope that you're viewing our past webinars. Our next webinar is going to be about thinking you're giving Tuesday donors and so that is on December 1. So make sure you register for that. And then, like I said, you can watch any of them at your convenience for free. So start scheduling your content now. What I love is I throughout my life, I will come in, and I'll be like so what, what do you guys do for giving Tuesday and they're like we tried that once and we didn't make any money it didn't work and I'm like well what did you do and they're like, well we, we had our website site up and we, we sent, we did a social media post. Okay, interesting. What you need to do is you giving Tuesday is not like the field of dreams it's not if you build the website people will come and throw money at you, you have to kind of work for it, make sure you market. You're giving Tuesday, you're giving Tuesday page and make sure that they they're aware of you. What's great about giving Tuesday is there's tons of national advertising going on about the day. And then it's your responsibility to get people to come to your page. So trust me, just watch every morning talk show that morning, and they're all I guarantee if you have your TV on for 15 minutes you will hear about giving Tuesday because that's what the news is going to cover all the morning talk shows. Okay. Um, now you want people to come to your page so you don't have to do everything the day of the event you can set up a schedule you can set up, you should tell people giving Tuesdays coming up, prepare them for the day. And then on the day of you should be able to segment audiences and send and schedule an email that will send the day of. So you're not sitting there, you know, typing email right there on the day of, you can do all of this ahead of time. So just we have some templates available for you. Just for inspiration you don't have to use a word for word but I know I'm a big person that if I just get that first line written for me, I can kind of do the rest. I have a lot of templates available for you for inspiration. You can segment your list so you hit those key audiences. For example, you returning donors you should be treating differently than people who've never donated before but you think should be donating. It's key volunteers board members, all of that segment your audience and and and it should definitely inspire different ways of giving. You want to include giving Tuesday in your routine emails from now on if you have an email newsletter that goes out. You can have like a little, I always say put a little advertisement or little save the date about giving Tuesday or year and giving Tuesday or call to action on how they can give or whatever you can, but from now on, and all of your from now until the end of the year you should really be working on making sure that all, almost all newsletter type emails include a little information about giving Tuesday. And then, as always, test your emails before sending. And the number one thing is, I know a lot of people who are really great at test when they get an email they test the grammar, and they look at the grammar, and then they never click on any of the links and then of course the minute you send it out to thousands of people, you realize that link is broken or it's not going to the right place. So, testing your email means clicking on every link, making sure it goes to the right place as well. Social media. Social media guide for in depth social media strategy and best practices. It also we have a toolkit that can help you with graphics and once again canva.com I can't I know I shouldn't be selling them so much but they really are great resource for making some some great images really quickly and easily. I've always said that I've, you know, we all have some great pictures that tell a story. And if you can just put slap your logo on there or slap a giving Tuesday logo on that that picture. It adds so much. And it tells such a great story in your social media. Schedule as much as you can in advance. Now this is important.   In the next 24 hours we want to raise our goal, and that's going to support insert our mission and you can impact, you can make an impact by whatever you're called action is including the link that they're going to click in order to donate. And then you're like and to add a sense of urgency, we will, and obviously you don't write to add a sense of urgency. And then you can kind of say we have a matching gifts so every single donation made before noon is going to to be doubled, you, this is now an opportunity to double your donation. You can create a lot of those emails and social media tools before the event even starts. And then on the date of your event. It's fun to kind of, that's what you can kind of add to it and say, hey, we're $100 from this goal or we, we had a goal of raising getting 24 donors before noon and we just need three more donors or you know you can create another sense of urgency at the day of, but it shouldn't be the meat of your con year, your social media content. All right. And I think we just did that sorry about that. Let's set up your day of plan. All right, so your day of management. And trust, I get it. I have been the only person at the nonprofit. So if you can use find some somebody that could possibly help you out, whether it's an intern, a board member, a key volunteer, somebody, but if you can get the help, it helps to delegate and it can be a really. It can be simple delegation it can be like I want to make you are in charge of anything that gets put on Instagram, and you are in charge at I scheduled it you just make sure that these three things go out. You know, when, when they're supposed to go out. And having those extra eyes and having those people that are in charge of small but manageable steps is definitely going to help you out so have a point person for social media for donor questions if people are having issues, making a donation. Well then you're not going to be getting that donation so make sure you have it. So if somebody if something's going wrong and people are unable to donate. It's the person, the key person and you aren't the person stuck in a three hour meeting, and nobody is be able to donate for three hours, you have to make sure that everything is handled. And then you just kind of make sure you're monitoring the donations and like I said, make it exciting check your run reports. Check for goals check for opportunities. Okay, we could really make more money. Maybe I'll send out another social media post right now. Maybe I can send out a quick email. And we can hit a whole new goal before six o'clock at night, you know, there's all sorts of things that you'll quickly learn and you'll get to be a part of the excitement of giving day, or giving Tuesday, and then you're going to want to. Make sure that you take advantage of that. And as I said, short staff, ask a volunteer to help out. There's lots of volunteers that can do this. And I'm a great example, I have helped many new nonprofits that's been my board job is to help nonprofits just with giving Tuesday and I'm happy to do it and I know that there's other people just like me out there. Okay, some day of tips. Great, and celebrate milestones. This is something that I have learned.  This is definitely something I recommend. To raise $1,000 or more create a challenge to get 24 donors and 24 hours. I do not understand there's no rhyme or reason there's no way that the math works out that 24 donors will equal $1,000. But every organization I've ever worked at it's been a huge percentage if I if I take out all of the events are all the fundraisers that we asked for 20 that got 24 or more donors. It's usually within like 95% of them raised more than $1,000. So I don't know what it is, but something also is very manageable. And it's a little easier sounding and kind of a fun thing to kind of, you know, challenge your board and and tell them to help us get 24 donors and 24 hours. And I can't tell you how many times I'll see giving Tuesday pages, and they have zero donors, and that frustrates me to know when because I'm like, you mean your board can't give $10 each. I think that you, you know, you don't have key volunteers or key stakeholders, or, or, you know, it just, and, and so sometimes, rather than thinking like, okay, we really want to hit a monetary goal that just giving challenging them to ask 24 of their friends or and and make it grow that way is a great way to go. And you want to, as I said before, create social media posts for when you hit certain monetary milestones. That way, if let's say that you had your goal for the day is $10,000 every time you make $1,000 throughout the day. Okay, we got we got a thousand nine thousand ago. You know, just kind of keep keep hitting those milestones, and it adds that sense of fun, and people get excited and they want to make sure that they see if you actually meet the complete goal. So guys on the prize understand when your power hours begin and end to ensure that you have posts and email schedules going out and make sure that you, you have challenges going on throughout the day. And then look for opportunities to engage online. It's kind of funny doing giving days the weird things that I've seen people do and they've taken advantage of I remember somebody had a giving day once. And it was the day of Harry Prince Harry's wedding, or no, the baby was born.  And, and I've seen lots of things where they've taken advantage of something that's newsworthy or something that's funny that's going on online, and they've used that to engage I'm giving Tuesday, and you can definitely do that too. Okay, plan to follow up. So why should you follow up with your organizations. Well, a quick and sincere follow up from nonprofits increases the odds that donors will make a future gift. It's, it's, I think everybody knows if you have people like a thank you note, and if it's quick and easy and sink and people. If you thank your donors, they're more likely to give. One thing that's really interesting and this is definitely something you can look at if you have mail champ or constant contact or any of those email solutions platforms. Just look at your emails and the how many ones get read. And I can guarantee if they say thank you and the subject line. It's there one of your better. You're the, the percentage of readability is higher. And, and I, once again, it's one of those things. I don't know the reason but people like to read thank you notes. So, so make sure you thank people and and and that's an opportunity to get your mission and your impact out there. In an email that's actually being read. Take thank you messages on social media inspire more gifts. This is something definitely if you guys are having any peer to peer fundraising. This is something that your individual fundraisers your board members, your key stakeholders can definitely do to their friends and say, Hey, Jen, thank you so much and you take Jen, thank you so much for a gift to big sisters. I really appreciate it. The reason why it's so important to kind of do that on social media is not only is it a really nice friendly sweet thing to do, but also if you, if you sent out a letter, let's say to a bunch of your friends, and they see that it's going to pop up the algorithm is going to make that thank you pop up because you think somebody else in your friend group, and that might trigger them to donate to your organization. So, so it's a great way to make it funny to me when I do peer to peer fundraising. Every time I thank somebody on social media. I'll get another somebody will donate there, it will trigger somebody like oh that's right I was going to do that. And so it's an easy way to do it and thank your friends. It's a great way to close loop on your campaign. It keeps your donors engaged. You thank yous don't have to just say thank you that's a great way to showcase. You can give them a year round of how their donation made an impact you can give them a year of showing what you did. This is your opportunity to brag about what you did in 2022 and what your plans are for 2023. So that is a way to keep your donors engaged, and it's a time to start laying the groundwork for your year and fundraising efforts. All right. You want to start stewarding your donors to you want to welcome your new donors, get them and try to create welcome series welcome packets, get them involved in your organizations to see how how much that that one time donation could end up me being leading to volunteer work, it could lead to just getting more involved in your organization. You want to reach out to all of your sustaining supporters, and, and then you also want to make sure that you. If you have a large donation, or a new matching gift you have an opportunity to thank those people see how they can tell them how giving Tuesday went and and see how would they like to do things and support your organization in the future. Okay, and this is, this is, I get this one all the time. What is the least thing that we can do in order to fundraise. I don't have time to add one more thing to my plate here we go. Make sure you scan your existing mighty cause page, make sure that you have updated all of your information. You don't want to send out a page that has 2021 written in some place, or it's talking about dates that don't exist and in 2022. You want to make sure that everything's up to date to schedule at least two social media posts with a link to your profile on November 29 schedule them as soon as possible. And, and they should just automatically go on that way if you don't have a have time the day that day, you at least have social media to posts that are going to be going out there. Send at least one email blast to your subscribers. I recommend sending multiple emails throughout the day, but at least send one that tells them, this is how you can donate this is how you can be a part of our are giving Tuesday campaign. And that way, it's not just the, like I said, if you build that website people will automatically come, you're doing some real marketing and outreach to try to bring those people in. So our next webinar is thinking you're giving Tuesday donors so join us on Thursday, December 1 for our next webinar. And you can learn how to acknowledge those donors and even more register and giving Tuesday dot mighty cause.com. And now I see I have a lot of questions. So let's open up the floor for questions. Hold on one second. All right. Okay, so I am signed up. Oh, what is the design software where that you mentioned. Oh, I think I will mention canva.com. And then another place that you might want to get some of the giving Tuesday logos if you like those hearts that you see that you can also check out giving Tuesday dot org. And of course, our giving Tuesday page here at mighty cause, but giving Tuesday dot org also has some logos and and tools available for you as well. So if somebody here asking about basically asking saying that they don't really use some of their social media and what should they focus on for social media. This one's kind of look, I'm a firm believer if don't just bust out Instagram if you don't use Instagram, just because you want to use Instagram for for giving Tuesday. You know, you check out the demo, the demographics of your donors, and where your audiences, and if you have to focus just on one social media platform. Just looking at those demographics you're going to figure out which one works best. And there and, and to be honest with you, if it's Facebook, that's fine if it's Instagram, that's fine it's Twitter, that's fine. If you want to use all of them, there's definitely on places like who sweet. And I'll type that in that can help you schedule multiple posts. I'm not that great of a fan of those but it is a way that you can post to multiple places at once but I really recommend that you hone in on your demographics to figure out what works for your organization now, and, and just stick with what works for this giving Tuesday and then throughout 2013 you can work on building an audience with your new, a new social media platform. There are a cost for mighty cause. No, it's free. We have transaction free fees for each donor. And then we do have some advanced an advanced platform for like if you want an embeddable form if you branded receipts text to give, so on and so forth and if you're interested in any of that, you can definitely request a demo on our mighty cause website. And we will be happy to talk to you about making sure that you have all of those bells and whistles in time for giving Tuesday. Once again, will these will the slide and video be available to us. Yes, we're going to be setting out these slides and this video to everybody. It's being recorded right now. So you get to hear me ramble on, but it will all be available to you. So should each post include when posting on on social media. Once again, I'm a big thing, how to give, make sure you have your, your URL available there, why to give, make sure you're including your, how you can impact the community. Just the idea of giving Tuesday being 24 hours adds a sense of urgency, but if you can add a sense of urgency, like if by getting a matching gift. That is even better because you can always say, if you donate before noon all donations are doubled, you know, and it makes people donate early and and and that will definitely help. All right. I'm just going through a little bit more. Sorry. Some of these are very one statements so I'm going to answer some of them afterwards and I'll type it I'll stay on after I close this and I'll type in some responses, but I'm trying to get think of anything that would be great for the groups who here. Like, like people have asked questions about fees, and I can definitely send you information about what goes to the fees what I can tell you is.  So a big percentage it's kind of based on whether your donors will cover that fee or not but they're across the board. And we have learned at mighty cause that like I said over 90% of the donors tend to pay for that transaction fee so you will be able to see that.  So if you have more than one donor willing to offer a challenge grant. Okay now you're just bragging, but if you are a great opportunity is it's kind of up to you, but you can, you can definitely have different challenges. There's a challenge where it's okay if you donate by everybody who donates by noon is it will get a match up to $3,000. Okay, and now we're going to do our nighttime push everybody who donates from 6pm to midnight can can get a match. You know, you can always add that excitement to it and you can always discuss it with the donors to see like, like kind of brainstorm ideas on ways that you can use your challenge grants to to keep the excitement going for all 24 hours of your giving Um, what is the advantage of registering with mighty cause you're you're part of our platform. If you register with us you get to use our tools and if you where where is if you just register with giving Tuesday. Or you, you don't you're not given an actual platform and a way to donate as easily and for so many of you, you already have a donor page you already did a lot of your leg work because you are coming in. Because you've used you've tested our site you've used our site you've had it for a giving a giving day. And so it's already there and and it's a tremendous benefit because it's tremendous site time saver. There's a lot of here about is there any resources for newbies or rookies on setting up their site. You can definitely like I've given the link to giving Tuesday dot mighty cause calm. And that is definitely available for you there. Let me see here, I'm just going to try to. I'm not the best with the zoom yet. So give me one second and I'm going to show you. If you go to mighty cause calm. Hopefully you can see I'm adding that that to my screen, but if you go to my cause calm. We have a tremendous resources section so this is this isn't even just about giving Tuesday now this is just about our tools and resources. So we have our resources, we have our, our, we have blogs, e library support centers fundraising ideas case studies, all of this, and this is all available for for you. And then I always like to point this out to people, because when you are in the resource so if you are the admin and you are in the resource. There's a little circle at the, at the lower right hand side that has a question mark. And if you click on it, it's going to come up with the most popular questions based on this page. But then it has a place where you can contact our support staff if you need any help or you're really struggling to do things. I. The site is incredibly intuitive, but I get it when you're in there and if you're stressed out and you're brand new, you might have questions. But there are tons of resources that basically tell you how to do what you want to do. And if you if that, if all else fails, you can always contact our support center.
