Loss and Damage: Tackling Climate Inequities and Financing Resilience

With COP29 fast approaching, this conversation on loss and damage is more important than ever. In recent years, the issue has gained significant momentum, leading to the establishment of a Loss and Damage Fund at COP27. However, many critical questions remain—how will this fund be financed? How will it be distributed equitably? And will it be enough to address the escalating climate crisis? As nations prepare for COP29, there is a growing call for accountability and action to ensure that this fund is operationalized in a way that truly meets the needs of the most affected countries.
