Mr. Niall McLoughlin:

The position is that we are negotiating at COP27 as part of the EU. Our work over the past year has been with colleagues in the context of developing the position on loss and damage. Every member state has a different perspective, notwithstanding that it is recognised that loss and damage is real, is happening and needs to be addressed. It is how it is addressed that has been the context of discussions entirely in the EU which informs the position going forward for the conference itself.
