1/4. At #COP28, the pledges to the #LossAndDamage Fund total only $700m or just 0.2% of the $400 billion needed each year to address #LossAndDamage. To show just how small these pledges are, here they are in comparison to the earnings of the highest paid footballers in 2023.

Thank you President @EmmanuelMacron and Minister @CZacharopoulou for delivering on your commitment to drive adaptation in Africa through the #AAAP. France's €10 million investment will further leverage €1 billion in adaptation investments for Africa.

So next year, we're hijacking #DRRDay & turning it into #NoNaturalDisastersDay 🤣
