Simon Anderson says:
This timely report sheds light on how ill prepared we are to address the loss and damage faced by people in high exposure, low adaptive capacity locations. The report clearly shows what and where investments are needed wrong the climate injustice that loss and damage represents. I hope that members of the Transitional Committee established at COP27 will fully assimilate the key messages of this report to make radical recommendations to the UNFCCC to finance nationally determined ways to address loss and damage. The findings here complement and have synergies with those of recent Scottish Government report on practical actions to address loss and damage – https://www.gov.scot/publications/practical-action-addressing-loss-damage/pages/5/
