In more than thirty years of negotiations, countries have yet to establish a financing mechanism for losses and damages associated with climate change. We outline a new typology of 14 obstruction tactics countries have been used to delay progress on loss and damage finance. These tactics limit the scope of the issue, reduce transparency, manipulate language, and push non-transformative solutions. The typology serves as a field guide for developing countries, journalists, and civil society organizations to anticipate and respond to obstructionist tactics as negotiations continue.
