Nicola Sturgeon has called on other leading nations to show "much greater commitment" to tackling the damage caused by climate change.
The First Minister will make the plea during a video address to the Bonn Intersessional meeting in Germany today.
The SNP leader is expected stress the climate emergency is the most significant and urgent challenge the world faces.
It comes as the Scottish Government today announced it had met its interim target for 2020 on reducing greenhouse gases across the country.
Output dropped 58 per cent compared with 1990 - with the government's own target of achieving at least 56 per cent per year.
But one charity has urged SNP ministers to find "new ways" of making those who pollute the environment "pay for the damage" they cause.
Oxfam Scotland boss Jamie Livingstone spoke out on the issue ahead as the latest data on emissions in Scotland were published.
The charity urged ministers to show the same leadership as during the global COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow last November.
Livingstone said: “Scotland showed substantial leadership at Cop26, and it should now do so again by identifying new ways to make polluters pay for the damage they are inflicting and then using this money to slash Scotland’s emissions quickly and equitably, while contributing to climate justice globally.”
Sturgeon is expected to tell the talks in Bonn that programmes the Scottish Government is supporting “represent an important first step – in showing how finance for loss and damage can deliver practical benefits”.
One example of this is the provision of grant funding through the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) to help Malawi in the wake of the devastating impact of Tropical Storm Ana.
The Scottish Government is also looking to share best practice in tackling loss and damage at an international conference it will host this autumn.
Looking ahead to Cop27 in Egypt the First Minister will insist: “At that summit, we still need to see developed countries stepping up – and showing a much greater commitment to address loss and damage.”
She will also stress that “action from devolved, state and regional governments – as well as civil society – will also be vital in driving progress”
Michael Matheson, Scottish Government net zero secretary, said: "These annual figures show Scotland has met our 2020 climate target and continues to outperform the UK as a whole in delivering long term emissions reductions.
“The new data shows underlying progress in reducing emissions across key sectors of the economy.
"Nonetheless, the most significant changes are in the transport sector and are associated with the temporary measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We must be prepared for these figures to substantially rebound in 2021."
