1/20.📜It’s day nine and the second day of the second week of #COP27 and here is our #LossAndDamage focused daily thread. Today we have seen a #PayUp4LossAndDamage action and negotiations on the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage and on funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage.🧵 Image
2/20.This morning, @anuahsa, The #Maldives Minister of Environment, #ClimateChange & Technology, spoke to youths at the @CYPavilion to stress the need for a “mosaic of solutions” to address #LossAndDamage including an operating entity under the financial mechanism of the @UNFCCC. Image
3/20. “We do need a “mosaic of solutions” to address #LossAndDamage. But first and foremost, we need to establish a dedicated funding facility under the @UNFCCC system, where all parties have equal equitable access, and predictable access, to #LossAndDamage finance.” @anuahsa Image
4/20. Shortly after, at 10am by the monolith roundabout, The @LossDamageYouth Coalition (LDYC) @IYCM and @ukycc groups held an action to demand that #COP27 delivers #LossAndDamageFinanceNow and that #Polluters #PayUp4LossAndDamage! Image
5/20. During the action, @jepestela highlighted that “the #GlobalShield is another way for governments to weasel their way out of the #LossAndDamage finance discussion.” and that “The #GlobalSheild does not absolve rich countries from having to #PayUp4LossAndDamage at #COP27." Image
6/20. This afternoon the ministerial consultations on “matters relating to funding arrangements responding to #LossAndDamage, including a focus on addressing #LossAndDamage” began with @climatemorgan of #Germany, and @Maisa_Rojas of #Chile, leading the discussions.
7/20.The ministers indicated they will conduct bilaterals to move towards a “landing zone” (compromise) that will lead to a decision at #COP27 and asked for Parties to have “open minds and hearts, empathy, flexible schedules and a willingness to go beyond established positions”.
8/20. Speaking for #Pakistan on behalf of the G77 and China, @sherryrehman said they expect an operating entity on #LossAndDamage at #COP27. She urged that "there has to be a decision here for countries that...are groaning under the yoke of debt.” caused by #ClimateDisasters.
9/20. #Bangladesh for @LDCChairUNFCCC along with @AOSISChair, @AGNChairUNFCCC and @AilacCC all said that the “operating entity under the Financial Mechanism of the @UNFCCC to address #LossAndDamage” must be established in #SharmElSheikh.
10/20. #AntiguaBarbuda speaking for @AOSISChair said the “science is clear” and urged Parties to work with the urgency that is needed. While #Ecuador speaking for @AilacCC said that more workshops (like the #GlasgowDialogue) are not what is needed: “we cannot wait until 2024”.
11/20. The time allocated for the meeting elapsed before all groups and Parties on the list of speakers got a chance to make interventions. It is unclear when another consultation will be convened but we expect that the bilateral meetings are already underway.
12/20. We remind Parties of what the science tells us about the urgency of scaling up #ClimateAction on all fronts. “Landing zones” and 30 years of delayed action on #LossAndDamage has lead to significant economic and non-economic costs in developing countries.
13/20. See the brief below which details the “Cost of Inaction” of 30 years of delay and delay tactics by developed countries on #LossAndDamage finance since it was first proposed by #Vanuatu in 1991 to understand why #COP27 must deliver:

🔗lossanddamagecollaboration.org/publication/co… Image
14/20. The G77 and China — along with other Parties and groups — has submitted a proposal for an “operating entity” and the process for operationalising it. (We hope is being used as the basis for discussions!).

Find it here under agenda item 8f here:
🔗unfccc.int/event/cma-4?it… Image
15/20. We urge those blocking an “operating entity” to address #LossAndDamage to consider what that means for those on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis for whom #LossAndDamage is a matter of “continuing to maintain the social and political stability of their countries”.
16/20. Informal discussions on the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage took place throughout the day with the informal consultations resuming this evening. The G77 & China indicated that there is significant convergence on the draft text with only a few key paragraphs remaining.
17/20. Outstanding issues include the funding for the #SantiagoNetwork, the composition of the Advisory board, and access and review modalities. At the end of the session, the co-facilitators thanked Parties for their hard work and made a room available for discussion tonight.
18/20. We expect the final version of the #SantiagoNetwork text, with all paragraphs agreed, to be released tomorrow and we wish Parties the very best for their discussions tonight. We also urge developed countries to pledge (new & additional) finance for the #SantiagoNetwork.
19/20. Tomorrow will see bilaterals on “funding arrangements for #LossAndDamage” continue. And we expect that there will be another consultation to bring everyone together during the day tomorrow or on Thursday. We will keep you updated.

1/13.📜NEW BLOG: A new blog by members of @LossandDamage explains where the phrase “mosaic of solutions” comes from and how it captures the need to mobilise action and support on all fronts (both inside & outside the @UNFCCC) to address #LossAndDamage.

🔗lossanddamagecollaboration.org/pages/unpackin… Image
2/13. The phrase “mosaic of solutions” was first used by the #Maldives —one of the nations most vulnerable to the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis— in September to capture the need to mobilise action and support on all fronts to address #LossAndDamage that is happening now.
3/13. However, in the #LossAndDamage Finance negotiations at #COP27 the term has been used by developed countries to stress the need to focus on solutions outside the @UNFCCC such as the #GlobalShield Against Climate Risk.

1/4.⚡️BREAKING⚡️: The text on the institutional arrangements to operationalize the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage to provide technical assistance to countries and communities impacted by #LossAndDamage has now been agreed by all Parties at #COP27. Image
2/4.The room erupted into applause at the news and Parties said they look forward to the #SantiagoNetwork delivering much needed technical assistance to people and communities on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis.
3/4. #Humanrights are indirectly mentioned in the text and impacted communities are represented on the Advisory Board and when Parties and observers heard that #Indigenous people were specifically included there was more applause!

1/18.📜NEW BLOG: We have seen quite a few pledges that have been framed as “finance for #LossAndDamage”. But are they really? This blog provides an overview of all the pledges thus far at #COP27 in chronological order.

🔗Read it here: lossanddamagecollaboration.org/pages/festival… Image
2/18. On the 20th of September, #Denmark🇩🇰 pledged €13m for #LossAndDamage, a package which includes finance for the #GlobalShield Against Climate Risk, support for CSOs to do projects on the ground, and some other money that is yet to be allocated for a specific use.
3/18. Crucially, all of this money is new and on top of #Denmark’s 🇩🇰 0.7% commitment to ODA, therefore not a diversion of cash from other vital #ClimateFinance projects.

1/4.“We do need a “mosaic of solutions” to address #LossAndDamage. But first and foremost, we need to establish a dedicated funding facility under the @UNFCCC system, where all parties have equal equitable access, and predictable access, to #LossAndDamage finance.”@anuahsa #COP27
2/4. "Secondly we need to be able to address the slow-onset impacts of #ClimateChange. And Thirdly we need to be able to capture what is happening outside [the @UNFCCC] and bring it into this process, for example, what's happening with the NDBs and IFIs."
3/4. "And to start thinking of innovative ways to start funding #LossAndDamage, because we know that funding for #LossAndDamage does not need to come only from public sources, but it also needs to come from the private sector and #Philanthropies."
