Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they will take to ensure that negotiations under the Glasgow Dialogues result in a financial facility for (1) loss, and (2) damage, relating to climate change.

The Glasgow Climate Pact succeeded in putting in place the Glasgow Dialogue to discuss the arrangements for the funding of activities to avert, minimise and address loss and damage, although it did not agree to the creation of a financial facility. The first dialogue will take place in June 2022, with further dialogues taking place every year to 2024, though these are not formal negotiations. The Glasgow Climate Pact also noted existing funding for climate, disaster reduction and response is relevant to loss and damage.
