Thematic Event

Those who contribute the least to greenhouse gas emissions often end up bearing the brunt of climate impacts. This is why, for many, the “loss and damage” caused by climate change is at its heart an issue of climate justice.

At COP27 in November 2022, the world came together to set up a Loss and Damage (L&D) Fund to help those most affected by the climate crisis. This fund is dubbed a historic achievement by many and a critical step towards achieving our Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ensuring climate justice.

The L&D Fund is designed to provide financial support to vulnerable communities and countries that are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. We will be joined by speakers from finance, Swiss Youth for Climate, and business, who will be sharing their perspectives on this important topic.
