Need for loss and damage fund for countries on the front line of climate crisis

Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley has told the global community there’s a need for a loss and damage fund for countries on the front line of the climate crisis.

Ms. Mottley, who’s back in Barbados, continues to engage in critical COP26 discussions.

She took part in the UK Presidency Event: Loss and Damage, which is part of the ongoing COP26 Climate Summit being held in Glasgow.

Ms. Mottley told the function climate-related loss and damages were here and action was needed now.

She says the fund will allow responsible countries to contribute to the loss and damage of those suffering as the climate crisis is uninsurable for many.

The Prime Minister emphasised the importance of natural disaster clauses, describing them as “the instrument of our times”.
