COP27 Includes Loss And Damage Funding In Main Agenda, Prominent Point Of Discussion To Be Climate Finance

The ongoing climate change conference, COP27, being hosted in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, from November 6 to 18, made a promising start by including the issue of 'loss and damage' — as it is referred to in the climate negotiations — in its formal main agenda for the first time ever. 'Loss and damage' refers to costs the rich and developed countries, which are majorly responsible for industrial emissions that pollute the environment, should pay to poorer nations that have made a negligible contribution to pollution but are more vulnerable to extreme climate events. The most prominent point of discussion, featured in the agendas of most countries, will be climate finance. There has been ongoing discourse about climate finance, the divide being stark between developed and developing countries.
