In his third state of the nation address, Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos, Jr urged lawmakers to enact an enabling law for the climate fund, but advocates lament lack of climate justice among his priorities.
Developing countries like Pakistan must grasp the finance architecture for operationalising loss and damage, as it will be key at the upcoming COP.
