Recommendation 13
13
Paragraph: 45
Government's Loss and Damage Fund pledge drawn from existing commitments disappoints Committee.
Conclusion
The Committee welcomes the Government’s £60 million pledge to the UNFCCC’s Loss and Damage Fund, but is disappointed that this is drawn from previously announced commitments. The Committee understands the Minister’s contention that wider funding streams are needed, but until these are agreed upon, it befalls to donors such as the UK, who have historically been responsible for higher emissions, to plenish the Fund.
