Tense negotiations at the final meeting on a climate-related loss and damages fund — an international fund to help poor countries hit hard by a heating planet — ended on Saturday in Abu Dhabi, with participants agreeing that the World Bank would temporarily host the fund for the next four years.
The United States and several developing countries expressed disappointment in the draft agreement, which will be sent for global leaders to sign at the Cop28 climate conference, which begins in Dubai in December.
