Developing countries are more vulnerable to the worst impacts of climate change and are less likely to have the resources to adequately respond or adapt. Yet they have contributed the least to the climate crisis.

Taxing the 2022 profits of the five oil majors by % would generate $ 4,000,000,000for the Loss and Damage Fund.
Fossil fuel companies have caused and exacerbated the climate crisis. Taxing their record profits is the obvious solution to financing the Loss and Damage Fund.
The fund is intended to provide support for developing countries suffering from the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
