The major influential group G77 and China left the negotiation at 3am BdST on Wednesday due to developed countries refusing to allocate funds separately for loss and damage. The US, Australia, and Canada were advocating for a separate mechanism on the issue. Quamrul Islam Chowdhury, a key negotiator from a developing country, stated that G77 walked out because some parties were trying to simplify the issue as disaster risk reduction. Dr. Ainun Nishat revealed that there were significant differences among parties on the institutional mechanism, with G77 and China wanting it to be independent and some developed countries wanting it under the adaptation commitment. Developed countries were opposed to providing financial support for the mechanism. The Bangladesh delegation emphasized the need for a clear global understanding on mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, technology development, and capacity building for a legally binding agreement in Paris in 2015. They expressed disappointment that a consensus could not be reached on an institutional mechanism for loss and damage during COP 19. Secretary Shafiqur Rahman read out a statement at a press conference, with Dr. Asaduzzaman and Md Quamrul Islam Chowdhury also speaking.
