<p>We have heard and agree with calls from civil society for the need for a high level
political focus on loss and damage at COP26 and in the run up to COP27. The UK is
currently consulting Parties on the idea of a high level envoy for loss and damage.</p><p>We
agree that a clear pathway is needed and intend to respond to parties’ and observers’
calls (including at the July ministerial) to step up efforts to address loss and damage,
through locally-owned plans, institutional capacity, technical expertise and accessible
finance. We will have a dedicated session at Pre-COP with Ministers designated to
lead discussions. We also expect this to play a significant part in the discussions
at COP26, subject to the agreement Parties reach on the agenda of the conference in
the coming weeks.</p>
