Correct Answer:
B. Climate-related losses and damage
Correct answer: Climate-related losses and damage. The Loss and Damage Fund supports countries facing climate-related losses and damage.
Background: It addresses the impacts of climate change that cannot be fully avoided through mitigation or adaptation, such as extreme weather and sea-level rise.
- Trade restrictions: Trade restrictions are a matter for trade bodies such as the WTO.
- Military conflicts: Military conflicts are not what the fund addresses.
- Industrial competition: Industrial competition is not what the fund addresses.
Did you know? It is especially relevant to vulnerable developing countries that contributed little to historical emissions.
Memory trick: Loss and Damage = harm already happening.
