Loss and Damage

History made at COP27

In a historic agreement at COP27, Parties agreed to establish “new funding arrangements,” including a fund, for assisting developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change in addressing and responding to L&D., These arrangements represent a hard-fought compromise between developed and developing countries, but important questions still remain regarding how the L&D funding arrangements and fund will be resourced and operationalized.   

 As L&D becomes increasingly a reality around the world and a greater focus of attention in international climate diplomacy. C2ES is making this key issue a central part of our mission, working toward achieving an international consensus on this contentious issue – including through expert analysis, policy briefs, blogs, and convenings of key stakeholders – in a way that is effective to help the most climate vulnerable people around the world.
