🧵 #COP27 |

With growing demand for #LossAndDamage finance, SEI’s @BakhtaouiInes & @ZShawoo identify 6 principles to underpin #finance, and suggest that modalities should centre the needs & priorities of vulnerable communities.

Read the new report: sei.org/publications/f… 4 gaps in the existing architecture suggest the need for a new #finance mechanism:

- Resources fall far short of needs
- Inadequate institutional arrangements
- Lack of instruments to address slow-onset impacts
- Lack of financing for non-economic #LossAndDamage
