A decision at COP27 to establish a loss and damage fund for communities living on the front lines of climate disasters has been hailed a victory by climate justice organisation ActionAid.
On ‘Gender Day’ at COP27, ActionAid is calling on world leaders to put the voices of women and girls from the Global South living through the reality of the climate crisis at the heart of COP27 negotiations. It also urges governments to set up a new funding facility so that women and girls can rebuild and recover in the face of losses and damages caused by climate change.
Ahead of the COP27 climate talks, ActionAid is setting out five climate justice benchmarks to build trust and deliver the action needed to address the Loss and Damage and Climate Justice.
