I’m demanding that world leaders help developing countries cope with costs related to the climate crisis. Join me, and add your name to the global letter supporting the Loss and Damage Fund:

The 20 richest countries account for about 80% of the world’s carbon emissions — the main driver of climate change. Meanwhile, developing nations and small island states contributed very little to creating the climate crisis, but often bear the greatest costs. The Loss and Damage Fund would provide vital resources to countries coping with costs related to the impacts of climate change. Use your voice to tell world leaders to finance this Loss and Damage Fund at the link in bio. only.one/lossanddamage #lossanddamage
