👏Our SG Emilia Saiz sets the scene of the Future Envisioning Exercise on #LossAndDamages: 💬"Funding for loss and damage must include local and regional governments. That's the perspective guiding our discussions today."

🗣️Anders Knape, UCLG's Policy Councilor on Resilient and Regenerative Territories: 💬 "#LRGs are uniquely positioned to lead the way in implementing solutions, elevating the voices of those most affected by climate change, ensuring they are not left behind." #LossAndDamage

🗣️Antoine Le Solleuz, adjoint au maire de Nancy 💬"Dans plusieurs territoires, nous travaillons avec diverses populations. Nous avons besoin de cette migration, envisagée dans un cadre de coopération. Nous voyons comment les personnes sont affectées par le climat." #LossAndDamage

✨👏UCLG Ubuntu Advisor Pefi Kingi highlights the group's potential to drive impactful change. She urges us to develop a game plan that will make a meaningful impact. #LossAndDamage
