“…Somewhat less explicitly, several INC delegations invoked arguments over unequal international economic relations following decolonization and criticizing sovereign debt. 98 Weinger argues that by subsuming stronger arguments into the more palatable term of historical responsibility, the consensus process of the INC negotiations effectively 'sanitized' and 'sterilized' more overt calls for responsibility and compensation for 'environmental damage'. 99 Today's climate justice advocates appear to be significantly more vocal both about the role of colonialism as one of the root causes of the climate crisis, and the ways in which false solutions to the crisis may constitute a form of 'carbon colonialism'.…”

After more than three decades of negotiations, the international response to climate change under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) appears to have come full circle. At COP27, parties to the UNFCCC agreed to establish a multilateral fund to address loss and damage from global temperature rise, an idea that was initially put forward by the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) in the early 1990s. Employing a historical critique, which draws upon archival and doctrinal research and interviews with key informants who participated in the early days of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for a Framework Convention on Climate Change, this article examines the AOSIS proposal in its wider historical context, and provides reflections for the renewed endeavour to negotiate a multilateral fund on loss and damage, in particular with a view to achieving justice for climate victims.
