Climate negotiators are meeting for the first time since the world agreed a dedicated loss and damage fund to help vulnerable nations on the frontlines of climate change respond to climate shocks such as extreme weather and rising sea levels, which pose an existential threat.
A key task at the Bonn Climate Change Conference, which began on Monday and will run though to 15 June, will be deciding how that fund should operate – a scheme that will then be put forward for adoption at this year’s Cop28 in Dubai.
