This episode unpacks a key outcome of the COP27 in Egypt – The Loss and Damage Fund (LDF). Jelani is joined by members of the Climate Analytics Caribbean team who were present at the COP27. Director Rueanna Haynes and Project Officer Chealief LeeWing help us to unpack what the LDF means for the Caribbean region from policy-makers to the general public, what opportunities it provides, and how it fits into the broader battle against Climate Change for Small Island Developing states. Rueanna recounts the long journey that lead to the landmark agreement as a seasoned COP negotiator. Chealief shares his experience as a first-time COP attendee and gives a compelling account of what transpires behind the scenes. We discuss the road ahead for the LDF and how it will be realized in the region. Credits: This episode was narrated and produced by Jelani Blake, and curated with support from Dr. Ariel T. Thomas.
