During his visit to Beijing, EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra indirectly called on the Chinese Climate Commissioner Xie Zhenhua to contribute to the financing of loss and damage caused by climate change. All parties that can contribute to climate financing should do so, Hoekstra said during the meeting. This applies in particular to the Loss & Damage Fund. He also recalled the role of the EU as the world’s largest donor of international climate financing.
