EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans told the COP27 summit in Sharm El-Sheikh on Wednesday the bloc and four member countries will provide over 1 billion euros for climate adaptation in Africa.
He added the four members are France, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark and other countries can join.
The sum is a starting point, he said.
Timmermans also said the EU will provide 60 million euros for loss and damage and will present ideas today on how to take loss and damage negotiations forward.
Loss and damage is a key issue this #COP27.
The EU wants to be a bridge builder and will submit a proposal to ensure loss and damage support reaches the most vulnerable countries, who desperately need it.

The EU and its members are consistent, reliable donors of climate finance.
Yet we know that we can do more and do better to support vulnerable countries.
At #COP27 today, we announced over €1 billion for adaptation in Africa from 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇩🇰 🇳🇱.
