    Abstract The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, or Conference of the Parties (COP27), held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in November, produced a long-awaited agreement to set up a global “Loss and Damage” fund. Under negotiation since the early 1990s, the fund’s primary purpose is to provide financial assistance to developing countries that are vulnerable to and suffering from the adverse effects of climate change, such as the destruction of physical and social infrastructure. The new funding arrangements will “focus on addressing loss and damage by providing and assisting in mobilizing new and additional resources”. Now that a decision to establish the fund has been made, the question of how vulnerable groups can access the money must be addressed.
