A G7-led plan called Global Shield was launched at the U.N. COP27 summit held at Egypt.
It is a funding mechanism that provides funding to countries suffering climate disasters.
It aims to complement, not replace, the progress on ‘loss and damage’.
Pakistan will be among the first recipients of funding from the G7 ‘Global Shield’ initiative.
The Group of 7 (G7) and the V20 group of climate-vulnerable countries are the coordinators to this plan.
The Vulnerable Twenty (V20) Group of Ministers of Finance of the Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) is a dedicated cooperation initiative of economies systemically vulnerable to climate change.
