With the 60th sessions of the Subsidiary Bodies in full force, loss&damage experts are meeting @IIASAVienna:
👉 As limits to adaptation are closing in, it's time to not just think about transformative resilience-building & scaling up funding but actually putting in the work. – at Laxenburg, Österreich

Wider range, similar magnitude as Markandya&González-Eguino in 2019 for economic model ensemble. Residual economic impact estimate for non-Annex I countries with range of $116–435 billion for 2020 and $290–580 billion for 2030 (in 2005 USD) t.ly/9INqg #lossandDamage

Paper shows how #LossandDamage funding needs require flows from high/upper middle income to mid/ low income countries proportional to ghg (CO2) emission responsibility. Responsibility start dates (1850, 1990, 2015) affect funding shares between high and upper middle income states

10/36. The Board then adopted a statement of intent on direct access to the #LossAndDamage Fund. This will provide an initial signal to the @WorldBank on what the Board means when it talks about direct access being crucial to the success of the Fund.

37/39. After the interventions Board where given a chance to respond and ask questions, with many signalling strong support for the important role that #CivilSociety had played in getting the #LossAndDamage established at #COP27 and during the Transitional Committee process.

Great to see the #LossAndDamage Fund operationalised at #COP28 and pledges being made already a year after last year‘s decision to establish the fund-which took more than 30 years of heavy debate and negotiations.
“We’ve delivered history today. The first time a decision has been adopted on day 1 of any COP. And the speed in which we have done so is also historic.
Getting this done demonstrates the hard work of so many, particularly members of the transitional committee who worked tirelessly to get us to this point.
This is evidence that we can deliver. COP28 can deliver. And colleagues, this now sets a clear ambition for us to deliver a comprehensive GST decision over the next 12 days.”
- COP28 President, Dr Sultan Al Jaber.

NEW: Global failures to address the climate crisis are causing massive losses and costly damages to the lives, livelihoods, and futures of communities around the world.
Read our latest report: floodresilience.net/resource… #FallingThroughTheGaps @zfoundation #LossAndDamage
ALT A new report released today by the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance lays bare the devastating impact that the climate crisis is having on lives and livelihoods in some of the word's most vulnerable communities. Current efforts to address these losses and damages are highly insufficient, and national and international humanitarian response systems are already overstretched and underfunded. The Alliance has highlighted the actions that the international community must take to assist communities most affected by the climate crisis – now, and in the future.
