2/5. Although the deadline for negotiating blocs & Parties to nominate 24 committee members passed on the 15 December 2022, only ten members have been announced as of the of 31 January so we are waiting for 4 Developing and 10 Developed country Parties to make their nominations.

3/5. With the #COP27 decision indicating that the Transitional Committee should have its first meeting by 31 March and lots of organisational matters that need to be agreed before work can start, this delay leaves even less time for the committee to get it work done for #COP28.

4/5. Quick reminder: The 24-member Transitional Committee of the #LossAndDamage Fund agreed at #COP27 is being set to deliberate on who pays into the Fund, who benefits and who oversees how money is spent on the ground to address #LossAndDamage ahead of #COP28.
