Loss&Damage Network

… a #transdisciplinary network of researchers and practitioners to inform the #LossAndDamage dialogue with evidence-based insight.

[Teresa M. Deubelli-Hwang @tmdeubelli]

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.

[Reinhard Mechler @reinhardmechler]

Economic integrated assessment modelling plus ghg emission responsibility leads to estimate of funding needs for residual impacts= #LossAndDamage for 2025 of US $395 [128–937] billion for median global economic climate impact of US $515 [385–737] billion

[Reinhard Mechler @reinhardmechler]

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) https://t.co/YeTPgQK0zr #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.

28/39. The intervention from for Canada 🇨🇦 and New Zealand 🇳🇿 was supported by other Board members including Rebecca Lawlor of the USA 🇺🇸 and Sebastian Lesch of Germany 🇩🇪.

24/39. Speaking for Canada 🇨🇦 and New Zealand 🇳🇿, Laurence Ahoussou, also called on the @WorldBank and Board to ensure direct access to the #LossAndDamage Fund for small groups and Indigenous Peoples on the front lines of the #ClimateCrisis. “We need to find a way to do that.”

1/39. The first meeting of the Board of the #LossAndDamage Fund started today in Abu Dhabi, in the UAE 🇦🇪. Here are some of our key takeaways 🤔 and some important messages 🗣️from the first day of the first meeting of the Board. 🧵

[Harjeet Singh @harjeet11]

📢 Severe Weather Alert in Abu Dhabi‼️

Warning of rains, thunderstorms and hail forces the #LossAndDamage Fund Board meeting to shift online.

This is a stark reminder of the #ClimateEmergency we are facing globally!

[Reinhard Mechler @reinhardmechler]

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.

[IIASA @IIASAVienna]

IIASA's @reinhardmechler contributed to a new #PolicyBrief by the @floodalliance which provides facts, figures, and context that outline just how vital it is that progress is made on the issue of climate-related #LossesAndDamages.

[Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance @ZCRAlliance]

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.

“I invite the CMA to adopt agenda item funding arrangements for responding to #LossAndDamage. I hear no objections. It is so decided.” @COP27P at the #COP27 Closing Plenary followed by CMP 17 Closing Plenary followed by CMA 4 Closing Plenary.

With my long time warrior friend @harjeet11 celebrating the establishment of the @LossandDamage Fund in @COP27P

[Saleemul Huq @SaleemulHuq]

Celebrating today's @COP27P decision to establish a fund for responding to loss and whose mandate includes a focus on addressing loss and damage!!!

[Alpha Kaloga @KalogaAlpha]

30 years of patience. The day has arrived. It is done. YES a new Fund for responding Loss and Damage in developing countries….This is a unique moment a win for all citizens of the world. Head of Delegation have agreed…

[Jennifer Morgan @climatemorgan]

What question did I get asked most during #UNGA77 🇺🇳: What’s happening with Germany‘s climate and energy policy?

The answer:⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Jennifer Morgan @climatemorgan]

It is an honour and a great responsibility

I look forward to working with @Cop27P Presidency, @Maisa_Rojas and all parties on the road towards a strong #COP27 package
