Greenpeace eyes rich countries, how will reduce the “loss and damage” added to the COP27 talks agenda?

The United Nations Climate Conference (COP27) began on Sunday (Nov. 6, 2022) in Egypt after a year of weather extremes that brought a confirmed reality of the global climate crisis. This card will actually is intensifying as reported by the IPCC.

Republic of Sharm el-Sheikh Egypt Comments were confirmed on the agenda at COP27 to be discussed “Management of funds to deal with the loss and damage associated with the effects of the climate crisis”

Yeb Saño, head of Greenpeace’s COP27 delegation, said that we must be ready for an agreement to establish an urgently needed Loss and Damage Fund to support climate equity in developing countries It was a crucial moment when loss funding was set and damage on the agenda for the first time since the countries most vulnerable to the climate crisis made a clarion call when: decades ago

But the battle is not over yet. The obvious attempt by rich nations to remove this agenda from the COP27 program tells us that strategies for delaying and drawing attention to other issues (rich nations) are foreseeable in the future.

The governments of the rich nations make the point. “Loss and Damage” has been delayed for too long. They are now under increasing pressure to reclaim their fair share of the climate crisis for which they are most responsible.

Developing countries must stand firm in their calls for a loss and damage fund, especially during the fortnight. collecting and distributing money to compensate the countries most seriously and inevitably affected by the climate crisis. Developed countries should comply with these requirements and ensure that fossil fuel polluters pay for the damage they cause.
