Shiny new objects are a poor substitute for effective action. It’s a way of scoring easy points in the short-term but sows seeds of distrust when results don’t follow. Ultimately, I’m afraid that is exactly what the L&D Fund is setting out to do, with or without the U.S.

I share my @CGDev colleague's skepticism on L&D funds, but indeed, the world could get on with it to some effect. @ClemenceLanders The World Doesn’t Need to Wait on the US for a Loss and Damage Fund cgdev.org/blog/world-doe…

A huge amount of good could be done by regulating paint makers in the 50-60 countries where lead is still used in paint, and 10 countries where lead contamination of spices is a big issue. This isn't costly, shouldn't be that hard.

From Ajay Banga at CFR: The paid-in capital of the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development is $22.6 billion. That is a pimple on a dimple on an ant’s left cheek compared to what we need in the world, just so you know—22.6 (billion dollars). cfr.org/event/david-mo…
