A fund for loss and damage is essential – but it’s not an answer if the climate crisis washes a small island state off the map – or turns an entire African country to desert. The world still needs a giant leap on climate ambition.

#COP27 reached a breakthrough agreement on a new “Loss and Damage” fund for vulnerable countries. It also resulted in countries delivering a package of decisions that reaffirmed their commitment to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

Unveiling Government of Tuvalu's plan for long-term adaptation. Safe and resilient land is a matter of survival for the people of this beautiful small Pacific island nation #climateaction #ClimateEmergency @TCAPforTu8
