Understand what the Climate Loss and Damage Fund is

By / / 2 minutes reading

The "Loss and Damage" Fund is an initiative that aims to help developing countries deal with the adverse impacts of climate change, which cannot be avoided or mitigated through adaptation actions. In other words, it focuses on supporting recovery from damage and losses caused by extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, storms, sea level rise and other climate-related natural disasters.

The idea behind this fund is to recognize that while climate change mitigation is crucial to limiting global temperature rise, we are already experiencing the effects of climate change due to past greenhouse gas emissions. Developing countries are often most affected by these impacts, even if they have contributed less to greenhouse gas emissions.
