The question of loss and damage sees developing countries looking for a new facility in the UN talks that would deal with the impacts of events like sea level rise or major storms that have a climate component. They argue that the poorest are the ones feeling the impacts of a climate they didn't create.

Up to now these discussions have been led by civil servants, but the arrival of ministers will likely clarify if both can be resolved by political horse trading. It's possible that a compromise could be arrived at that would see both issues resolved here. Or not!
