Tres décadas después de la creación de la Convención Marco deNaciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC), los países desarrollados cedieron a la presión mundial y se dio un paso hacia adelante en las negociaciones de Daños y Pérdidas. En la conferencia del clima COP27, se acordó la creación de un mecanismo de financiamiento y un fondo para Daños y Pérdidas. Esta decisión abre un proceso para discutir sobre las vías de financiamiento para afrontar los daños y pérdidas. 

At the COP27 climate conference, the creation of a financing mechanism and a fund for Loss and damage was agreed. This descision opens a process to discuss ways to finance addressing loss and damage. However, the structure of this mechanism and how this fund is implemented depends on the decisions taken in the coming months. Addressing loss and damage is an obligation that transcends Article 8 of the Paris Agreement and Article 3.1 of the UNFCCC and is focused on the obligation to be accountable regarding the harm caused to the environment and society. Developed countries carried out economic activities that were under their control, caused loss and damages within and outside their jurisdiction. It is in this discussion on rights that we must demand justice, always bearing in mind the economic and climatic reality of Latin America and the Caribbean.
