1/6 Debt pause clauses for climate shocks is one of the most likely innovations expected to take off from this week’s Paris Summit (one of the asks of the #BridgetownInitiative and not as expensive as other reforms on the table). But a few important caveats @CentreForDP 🧵👇

1/12.📜NEW TEXT: Good morning, the new text on “funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage” was released last night. As it stands the proposal of the G77 & China is not reflected and we are extremely concerned with the use of the term “funding arrangements” this is why.🧵
