Here's a shocking scale comparison that perfectly illustrates why leading fossil-fueled nations like the U.S. and Canada need to contribute far more to the #LossAndDamageFund#COP28.

Cream background. Screenshot of tweet from Loss and Damage Collaboration reading “1/4 At #COP28, the pledges to the #LossAndDamage Fund total only $700m or just 0.2% of the $400 billion needed each year to address #LossAndDamage. To show just how small these pledges are, here they are in comparison to the earnings of the highest paid footballers in 2023.” with a red arrow pointing to a graphic showing a scale comparison from 2023 showing that Cristiano Ronaldo’s earnings of $260 million USD, Lionel Messi’s earnings of 135 million USD and Neymar Jr.’s earnings of $112 million USD are all larger than the pledges – with the U.S.’ pledge at $17.5 million and Canada’s even lower at 11.6 million USD” The source for the graphic is Forbes.
