'This is game on for agreeing the loss and damage finance facility so urgently needed to support climate justice for developing countries,' said YebSano Greenpeace COP27
"Governments of richer nations have dragged their feet on this issue for far too long, but are now under growing pressure to pay their fair share for a crisis they are most responsible for causing," said Greenpeace's chief delegate.Green campaigners expressed cautious optimism Sunday after it was announced the key issue of"loss and damage" financing was officially added to the agenda for the U.N.
The decision, Saño continued,"is a significant moment that loss and damage finance has been agreed as an agenda item for the first time since the most vulnerable countries raised the clarion call decades ago." However, he said,"The fight is far from over. The blatant attempt of rich countries to push this item off the COP27 table gives us a hint of some of the delay and diversion tactics that can be anticipated ahead.
"We do not need any more extractive projects," Ninteretse added."We refuse to feed the fossil fuel addiction of the global North, and we remind world leaders of their responsibility to address the three big components of the climate crisis: adaptation, mitigation, and loss and damage.
