Since COP28 both the LDF Board and World Bank have been addressing elements required to operationalize the Fund. A key challenge is that only $661 million has been pledged to the Fund, while up to $400 billion is needed <i>annually</i> to address economic and non-economic loss and damage. While it is recognized that the initial pledges are “financial resources for commencing operationalization of the Fund,” they are “by no means enough for an initial resource mobilization effort.”</p>","PeriodicalId":100259,"journal":{"name":"Climate and Energy","volume":"41 1","pages":"26-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141536575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Referred to as the “Superfund Law,” CERCLA allowed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to: (1) established prohibitions and requirements concerning closed and abandoned hazardous waste sites; (2) provided for liability of persons responsible for releases of hazardous waste at these sites; and (3) established a trust fund to provide for cleanup when no responsible party could be identified.
