Abstract

|
|
| COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh ended with a breakthrough decision on Loss and Damage to establish new funding arrangements for assisting developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to respond to loss and damage; and to establish a fund for addressing loss and damage (Decision -/CP.27-/CMA.4). A newly formed Transitional Commitee has to lay the groundwork for the operationalization of new funding arrangements, including mapping existing sources of funding–within and beyond the Convention–referred to by the climate community as a “mosaic of solutions”, and the identification ofnew and additional resources. In addition, key questions are on the table regarding the allocation of funds and recipients and how vulnerability to climate change will be factored into decision-making processes.It is worth recalling evolutions in the scientific, legal, and financial domains on defining and characterizing vulnerability, to better understand implications for Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and find potential avenues forward around this polarized issue. |
