Christian Aid said its new report is 'hopefully a wake-up call for politicians to take urgent climate action in 2023.'
that "having 10 separate climate disasters in the last year that each cost more than $3 billion points to the financial cost of inaction on the climate crisis."
"But behind the dollar figures lie millions of stories of human loss and suffering," he added. "Without major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, this human and financial toll will only increase." Christian Aid said the report underscores the importance of urgent climate action, including the speedy implementation of the loss and damage fund recentlyat the COP27 climate summit in Egypt. Described by proponents as a form of climate reparations, the fund will be financed by wealthy nations in order to help countries of the Global South—which are least responsible for the planetary emergency—mitigate climate impacts.
"The creation of the loss and damage fund at the COP27 climate summit was a huge breakthrough for people living on the frontlines of this crisis. This report shows just how badly it is needed and the urgency with which we need to see it up and running," said Nushrat Chowdhury, Christian Aid's climate justice policy adviser in Bangladesh. "The people flooded in Pakistan or victims of Cyclone Sitrang in my country of Bangladesh need this support to rebuild their lives.
"Many people in the Global South dealing with these disasters cannot afford insurance to cover their losses and they often can't rely on the state to act as a safety net," Chowdhury added. "The fact they have done almost nothing to cause the climate emergency is why it is so unfair they are left to suffer without support. We must see that change in 2023."
