READ: Environmental advocates call for justice and reparations!
February 28, 2023

Earlier today, environmental advocates gathered in front of the venue of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss & Damage meeting under the UNFCCC to demand support for the most affected communities due to climate change.
FULL DEMANDS:
We, the concerned youth and most-impacted sectors of the Philippines, write to you today to express our support for the Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) for Loss and Damage, and to emphasize the necessity of accountability from Global North countries for climate change-related impacts in countries like the Philippines.
The Philippines is one of the countries most impacted by the climate crisis. Year after year, we experience losses and damages that are extremely difficult to bounce back from. As you hold your meeting this week, we urge you to remember the communities most impacted and our calls for justice.
These are our demands:








As the Philippines is among the most at-risk and most-impacted nations by the climate crisis, we firmly stand in solidarity with all other affected communities across the globe with whom we share our experience and recognize the importance of a Loss and Damage fund that properly caters to our needs.
We trust that you will conduct your assembly this week with these demands in mind; and that you continue to center these most vulnerable communities as we move forward working together towards a Loss and Damage fund that is truly pro-people and pro-planet.
