I have a very brief question. I would like to go back to the loss and damage aspect Mr. Byrne was speaking about there. I ask him to please correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is that the EU is not actually supportive of establishing a new facility under the UNFCCC to respond to loss and damage. Instead, it favours the scaling up and strengthening of existing facilities or initiatives such as early warning systems. Can the witnesses explain what that actually means? Is there merit to establishing a new facility under the UNFCCC?
