Abstract

The journey taken by the Alliance of Small Island States in its quest to address the existential threat of man‐made climate—from its original 1991 proposal for funding arrangements (an insurance pool) to address loss and damage associated with sea‐level rise to the establishment at the Sharm el‐Sheikh Climate Conference in 2022 of funding arrangements and a fund for addressing loss and damage—has been a long, sometimes invisible and often arduous one. This article traces that journey from its origin to the road‐building exercise toward establishing institutional arrangements for loss and damage under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement and finally to the last step of establishing a loss and damage fund. Arriving at the final destination is just over the horizon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
