The debate on how to support the most vulnerable in addressing #lossanddamage has recently gained momentum. Now needed: financial commitments by the #G7 and a @UNFCCC #GlasgowDialogue with concrete outcomes. Overview of recent developments and necessary next steps in a THREAD: 
2/ @IPCC_CH AR6 WGII stated that “Human-induced climate change.. has caused widespread adverse impacts and related losses and damages to nature and people, beyond natural climate variability..the most vulnerable people and systems are observed to be disproportionately affected”.
3/#G7 Devel. ministers for the first time recognised the urgent need for financial support to developing countries in averting, minimizing and addressing economic and non-economic #lossanddamage + want to work towards a Global Shield against climate risks bmz.de/resource/blob/…
4/ Also the @G7 Environment and Energy Ministers clearly recognized the need to scale up action and support from G7 members to avert, minimize and address #lossanddamage in the Global South. They also want to constructively engage in the #GlasgowDialogue. bundesregierung.de/resource/blob/…
5/ @UNDRR #GPDRR2022 called on governments to honour commitments made @COP26 to drastically enhance financing for and support to adaptation and resilience + notes that protection gaps should be minimized through investments in social protection and affordable insurance solutions
6/ Where international climate diplomacy doesn’t advance, affected people start to take the legal avenue: Vanuatu is seeking an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on countrie’s legal obligations to protect people from climate harm climatechangenews.com/2022/05/24/isl…
7/.. and the climate lawsuit Saúl Luciano Lliuya vs. #RWE went in its decisive phase. During an on-site meeting with experts in Peru, experts examined the danger of a possible flood wave for the plaintiff's house. rwe.climatecase.org/en/presse/arti… #SAULvsRWE #ClimateJustice
8/ NEXT STEP: The #GlasgowDialogue on L&D finance, 1st during #SB56Bonn, needs to result in concrete outcomes that provide adequate, new +additional support for the most vulnerable people and countries in addressing L&D. Briefing:lossanddamagecollaboration.org/publication/br… @CANIntl @LossandDamage
9/ NEXT STEP: At their summit end of June, the #G7 must provide concrete funding for #lossanddamage at the right scale and make the Global Protection Shield operational. Briefing: climate-insurance.org/wp-content/upl… @_MCII_ @Germanwatch
10/ NEXT STEP: #PetersbergDialogue needs to build a bridge to @COP27 + discuss next steps to set up a L&D finance facility based on needs of developing countries. See recent suggestion by @CANIntl, @boell_stiftung, @PracticalAction, @StampOutPoverty here: climatenetwork.org/resource/ldff-…
