Philippine climate activists raised the concerns of disaster victims back home at the the 2022 United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP27) in Egypt on Monday, November 7.

“Today, we bring the voice of those who were killed by Tropical Storm Nalgae at the COP27 as we reiterate our call to institutionalize the ‘Loss and Damage’ mechanism,” said Franciscan priest Angel Cortes.

The issue of “Loss and Damage,” or the economic loss and damage due to climate-induced disasters, such as damage to crops, homes or infrastructure, is expected to be the center of talks in the climate summit that runs from November 6 to 18.

"We will make sure that the cries of the victims of climate-induced disasters in the Philippines are heard”
