1/8. 🚨#Pakistan is seeing massive #LossAndDamage from #ClimateChange as rainfall 2.87 X higher than the national 30-year average leads to catastrophic Moonsoon floods in 116 districts.🧵
2/8. As of the 26th of August, @UNOCHA reported that #LossAndDamage totaled 218k houses destroyed, 452K houses damaged, 2M acres of crops impacted, 774k livestock lost, 1343 injured, and a death toll of 937 lives.
Here is our #LossAndDamage focused update from the 8th day of the #BonnClimateConference. With negotiations likely to continue into the early
hours of tomorrow morning, we are reaching a decisive moment on #LossAndDamage at #SB56.
Yesterday the second technical expert dialogue on the New Collective Quantified Goal on climate finance (NCQG) took place where #LossAndDamage finance was raised by several developing countries.
Going forward it will be important for developing countries to continue to raise the importance of integrating #LossAndDamage finance into the NCQG so that it is captured in the final text at #COP27.
“It has been three decades since we knew that the climate is an issue we should address. We know that it affects people, we know that it destroys communities. And we know that for example in my region it generates intergenerational trauma.” @adrianmb_cr
“Communities are not certain about their future in their own lands, they know that there has to be an answer for #LossAndDamage.” @adrianmb_cr
“However during these three decades, all that we have gotten from the @UNFCCC is silence. Silence that kills people. Silence that destroys cultures. Silence that turns communities into uninhabitable places that are dangerous for people.” @adrianmb_cr
