Vulnerable Pacific nations and developing countries to get maximum of loss and damage funds
The Australian climate minister, Chris Bowen stressed the need for Pacific nations and other countries vulnerable to climate catastrophe to be the major beneficiaries of loss and damage funding and broader range of countries should bankroll the international efforts along with the private sector. Given intensifying heatwave, droughts and floods have taken lives and caused substantial economic damage around the world, cop27 agreed to establish a loss and damage fund to help vulnerable nations rebuild social and physical infrastructure after extreme weather events exacerbated by greenhouse gas emissions. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/21/chris-bowen-climate-change-minister-speech-loss-damage-cop28

This is a great initiative. Providing financial assistance can help these countries build resilience and adapt to the impacts of climate change. However, it is important that these funds are distributed fairly and transparently to ensure they reach those who need them most.

Good for Australia for funding vulnerable Pacific nations, climate funding is a vital way to support more nations, which is a great way to increase the sustainability scope.

The recent actions by Australia to cushion vulnerable Pacific nations in the light of climate change disasters is admirable
