No profits can justify the damage made on our planet by the fossil fuel industry. COP28 UAE WE ARE WATCHING YOU #LossAndDamageFund #ClimateActionNow
The US has proposed that the #LossAndDamageFund be under the World Bank.
But in 2022, WB put $3.7 BILLION into oil & gas trade finance alone. Since 2015, it has given $15 BILLION to fossil fuels.
A WB-led LDF will mean more money for polluters, not people.
#WBOutOfLDF !
The US says that the World Bank should control the #LossAndDamageFund .
WE SAY NO! 🚫 The WB:
👉 funds fossil fuel projects
👉 plunges nations into debt
👉 limits people's participation
A WB-led LDF will mean more GHG emissions, poverty, & people's exclusion.

Countries most vulnerable to #Climate impacts want donors to provide more grants than cheap credit, & ensure the money is informed by the priorities of local communities says IIED's Ebony Holland #LossAndDamageFund #Adaptation context.news/climate-risks/…

V20 Chair Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam Office of the Finance Minister-Ghana: The Global Shield and the toolbox it offers is an important part of the solution. We consider it a priority to ensure that the ambition we set for Global Shield is complementary to the new fund for dealing with #LossAndDamageFund .
#COP28 brings hope with a $420M boost for the #LossAndDamageFund ,driven by UAEs $100M pledge.Yet US falls short,offering only $17.5M barely 0.00003% of 2023s US #climaterelated disaster costs. In the face of stark reality,the call for commitment to L&D resonates louder than ever
From dry spells where crops have dried up to now floods. This is yesterday in Dwangwa. The impact of loss and damage on communities is much bigger than the progress at hand. That #LossandDamageFund is crucial.
