Climate Finance

Climate impacts are increasingly leading to loss and damage, particularly in small island developing states (SIDS) such as Tuvalu, as confirmed in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Report1. Consequently, global attention on addressing loss and damage has been increasing, with agreement reached last year at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to operationalise an international Loss and Damage Fund (LDF). The modalities, access and allocations ofthe Fund are allstill under consideration.
