During negotiations, the G77 and China left the discussion at 3am BdST on Wednesday due to developed countries refusing to allocate funds separately for loss and damage. The US, Australia, and Canada were in favor of a separate mechanism for the issue of loss and damage. Developing country negotiator Quamrul Islam Chowdhury mentioned that the walkout occurred because some parties were trying to simplify the issue into just disaster risk reduction. Differences among the parties included whether the institutional mechanism should be independent or under the adaptation commitment. Developed countries were resistant to providing financial support for the loss and damage mechanism. Bangladesh delegation expressed disappointment at the lack of agreement on an institutional mechanism for loss and damage, emphasizing the importance of addressing mitigation, adaptation, technology development, and capacity building for a legally binding agreement in Paris in 2015. The delegation held a press conference to convey their concerns and expectations for the negotiations.
