Cop 28
The UAE pledged $100 million for the fund, as announced by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, UAE minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation.
“We cannot achieve our common goals without having everyone on board, most importantly the Global South. We need to start delivering on climate justice and provide the needed tools as agreed in Sharm El-Sheikh to fund loss and damage. One of the most anticipated outcomes of COP28 is for the Loss and Damage Fund to be fully activated,” he added.
“President El-Sisi will review the efforts Egypt made as president of the Conference of the Parties over the past year, which mainly focused on climate change impact on developing countries in general and African countries in particular,” Fahmy added.
Fouad’s call was stated during her participation in the nineteenth session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) that was held in Addis Ababa from 14 to 18 August 2023.
