‘Loss and damage’ is the term used for climate impacts which cannot be or haven’t been prevented or avoided through reducing emissions or adapting to climate change. The ‘loss’ refers to things that are irreversibly lost such as lives, a way of living or historical site, while the ‘damage’ refers to things that can be repaired or recovered such as homes, roads or crop yields.
Climate justice is within reach
A more equal world is possible. One where any of us vulnerable to the climate crisis have the resources to survive extreme weather, and the opportunity to build sustainable futures for generations to come.
Rich polluters must begin compensating for the devastation they’ve caused to the environment and the lives of people who have done the least to cause the climate crisis.
People everywhere are pushing governments of the world’s richest nations to make this a reality. Join them.
Urge Federal Treasurer, Jim Chalmers to properly tax rich polluters now.
Dear Treasurer...
People everywhere are suffering from the climate crisis, while the biggest polluters become even more wealthy. It is only fair to hold these polluters to account for their damaging activities.
We ask you to make rich polluters pay, to generate finance that can support communities in avoid and recover from loss and damage caused by floods, storms, sea-level rise and other climate impacts.
