In the last five COPs, loss and damage has gained more attention. The biggest step was at COP27, where countries agreed to create a Loss and Damage Fund to help vulnerable nations. At COP28, some money was pledged, but the amount is still small and not enough. Earlier COPs mainly focused on talks and reports, with slow progress and many delays.
My satisfaction level: 2 Dissatisfied
I am not satisfied because, although the fund was created, real money and action are still limited. Poor and climate-vulnerable countries continue to suffer from floods, heat, and sea-level rise, but support is slow. Non-economic losses like loss of homes, culture, and livelihoods are still not fully addressed. Rich countries are also not giving enough funding. More strong action and fair support are needed to turn promises into real help.
