Negotiators at the UN climate summit, COP30 in Belém, Brazil, ended up with a weaker deal than needed to match the scale of the climate crisis. While adaptation finance for developing countries is to be tripled by 2035 and the mechanisms for funding adaptation and loss and damage were operationalized; a concrete roadmap toward phasing out fossil fuels was set aside.

Amid a challenging political environment and persistent gaps in international climate-finance commitments, Sustainable World Inc. has worked since 2022 on a separate but complementary climate finance initiative to the official Loss & Damage Fund. The Loss & Damage Finance Mechanism (LDFM©) is designed as a flexible climate-finance instrument, to accelerate urgently needed funding for loss and damage in climate-vulnerable nations by mobilising private-sector capital from developed countries. Work on this project is currently on hold pending funding. To learn more about LDFM© visit Sustainable World Inc.

In the experts/civil society sessions, AQA Senior Advisor, Abhishek Kumar, INDICC and AQA Researcher, Adil Tehran contributed to critical discussions on regional air-quality governance. Mr. Kumar also attended regional and state level meetings between the Amazon countries and State leaders from the United States.
