The European Commission has pledged EUR 25 million to the international fund for responding to loss and damage.

Omissions

• The exact figure of EUR 25 million attributed specifically to the European Commission does not appear in any of the sources located; the sources describe the combined EU and member-state pledge.
• The sources found describe a broader scope (EU plus its member states) rather than the European Commission alone: the Council of the EU states the EU and its member states pledged over EUR 400 million to the loss and damage fund, and ECDPM reports an EU-plus-member-state pledge of USD 496 million (68% of total commitments).
• The reference period of the underlying pledge is COP28 (late 2023), not the 2026 session date; the MEP could only have cited a pledge already made before 2026-09-16.
