?? Very disappointing to see #COP30 President, André Aranha Corrêa Do Lago, almost completely omitting #LossAndDamage from his letter setting out priorities for #COP30 ?? in Belém, Brazil ????, when this is a critical year for #LossAndDamage ??????. ?? Here are three reasons why this must change! ?? 1?? The third review of the Warsaw International Mechanism for #LossAndDamage (WIM) will take place at #COP30. This is the first review since the establishment of the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage and the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage. This review is a critical opportunity to enhance coordination to ensure efficient, effective and coherent #HumanRights ???? and equity-based ?? approaches to #LossAndDamage and to put in place a State of #LossAndDamage Report ??. ?? Failure to deliver at #COP30 means we will have to wait another five years for the next review at the risk of leaving the most vulnerable behind. 2?? 400 billion USD is needed each year to fill the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage. Yet the New Collective Quantified Goal on #ClimateFinance (NCQG) set at #COP29 failed to deliver on #LossAndDamage and to date only 741.42 million USD has been pledged ?? to the Fund, of which less than 50% (352.55 million USD) ?? has been paid in. ?? Without putting #LossAndDamage finance on the agenda at #COP30 the Presidency risks letting the Fund run out of money and there being no plans to meet the scale of the needs.? 3?? With only 40 million USD to sustain its work in 2025, the #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage is also desperately in need of finance so that it can fulfil technical assistance requests ??, have a presence in every region ?? and undertake outreach to new members. ?? Failure to Prioritise #LossAndDamage at #COP30 could see the #SantiagoNetwork ceasing to function. ?? Devastating #LossAndDamage events, including the Rio Grande do Sul floods ?? which struck Brazil in 2024 resulting in 181 fatalities, at least 580 thousand people being displaced and costs of over 3.7 billion USD, make painfully clear the need to put in place the resources and plans needed to address #LossAndDamage. ??That is why #LossAndDamage must be a priority for the #COP30 Presidency! ??

The Loss and Damage Collaboration
民间和社会团体
Ensuring that vulnerable people, communities and countries have the support they need to address loss and damage.
关于我们
We are a network of over 300 practitioners, researchers, activists, creative practitioners and decision-makers from both the global North and South working together to ensure that vulnerable developing countries, and the vulnerable people and communities within them, have the support they need to address climate change-related loss and damage. To achieve our aim of ensuring that vulnerable countries, communities and people have the support they need to address loss and damage we: - Do Advocacy and outreach to key stakeholders and political influencers to raise awareness of the importance of scaling up finance for addressing loss and damage and ensuring it gets to the vulnerable people, communities and countries who need it most. - Undertake research and develop policy briefs and background papers on critical issues. - Organise events to raise awareness and increase ambition, particularly on finance for Loss and Damage. Our work includes thematic working groups on advocacy and outreach, finance for Loss and Damage and operationalising the Santiago Network on Loss and Damage under the UNFCCC’s Warsaw International Mechanism. We also host the New Generation, a group of emerging negotiators from vulnerable developing countries as well as the Loss and Damage Youth Coalition (LDYC). We work virtually, holding regular calls and workshops to share updates and information with the ultimate objective of driving the Loss and Damage agenda.

?BREAKING?: Over 160+ organisations —including us ?? — have signed an open letter calling on the Board of the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage to reject ?? the proposal for the private sector ???? to have an Active Observer seat on the Board. ? ??Read the letter here: https://lnkd.in/eDMfqtUd? ??Why is the private sector having an Active Observer seat on the Board of the Fund a bad thing? ?? ??The Board of the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage is working on the policies ?? that will determine how representatives of #CivilSociety and Indigenous Peoples will engage in the work of the Board, and they are thinking of establishing an Active Observer seat for the private sector. ?? ??Where representatives of #CivilSociety and Indigenous Peoples aim to advance public interest (e.g. to stop and deal with #LossAndDamage), for the private sector ??profit is its main goal (e.g. #DisasterCapitalism ????). ??Giving the private sector a seat on the Board of the Fund risks impacts on #HumanRights ????and the environment ???? through the perpetuation of extractive practices and the use of precious grants intended to go to communities to address #LossAndDamage for loans ?? and insurance ?? that risk further increasing the already unbearable debt burden ?? of countries on the front lines of the #ClimateCrisis. ?? ??Regional and international #HumanRights mechanisms have also stressed the necessity for States —as a matter of their international legal obligations— to regulate and prevent undue corporate influence in decision-making. ???? ??The Board of the Fund should therefore be prioritising the voices of people and countries most affected by the #ClimateCrisis in the #GlobalSouth. ?????After all, the Fund is supposed to have been established to meet their needs which are estimated to be as high as 395 million USD in 2025 alone. ?? ??

??USEFUL INFO: The Trump Administration has pulled the U.S. ???? out of the Board of the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage (FRLD) having only pledged only 17.5 million USD to the FRLD,?despite bearing the largest historic responsibility for the #ClimateCrisis. What does this mean for #LossAndDamage? ?? ?? The U.S’s ???? withdrawal sends the wrong message to global community at a time when the escalating #ClimateCrisis is leading to increasing amounts of #LossAndDamage. In 2025 the #LossAndDamage needs ?????? of developing countries are estimated to be 395 [128–937] billion USD, yet just 741.42 million USD has been pledged to the Fund and less than 50% of that has been paid in.??? ??? As highlighted by the Chair of the African Group of Negotiators, Ali Mohamed of Kenya ????: "[a]t a time when the world needs a concerted effort to fight the effects of #ClimateChange, the spirit of multilateralism should remain our guiding light." ????? The U.S. ???? has a long record of delay tactics and obstructionism on #LossAndDamage, however, withdrawal from the Board of the Fund and the #ParisAgreement and Trumps #DrillBabyDrill agenda signals a larger rejection of the reality of the #ClimateCrisis. ??Yet, despite leaving the Board of the Fund and the #ParisAgreement, U.S. ???? responsibility for the #ClimateCrisis and to uphold #HumanRights remains the same. Therefore we must continue to hold them to account to ensure that they pay their fair share towards #LossAndDamage finance. ?? ???As Rachel Rose Jackson, a research director at Corporate Accountability, said via the Guardian: “We cannot allow the Trump administration, and the greedy corporations pulling the strings, to get away with destroying the planet. It’s time for the United States to pay up its climate debt and do its fair share of climate action.” ??

?? The second session entitled “Baku to Belém Roadmap: Challenges and Possibilities” of the “From Baku to Belém: The Climate Finance Roadmap to #COP30" workshop organised by the University of Warwick - Warwick Business School at #TheShard on the 4th of March 2025 was moderated by Amiera Sawas of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative and saw interventions from the government, civil society, and international organisations. H.E Wael Aboulmagd, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Climate, Environment and Sustainable Development Department, Egypt ???? stressed that “#ClimateFinance is capitalist to achieve anything for climate action” and how without finance, developing countries will not be able to meet even the most modest targets in their Nationally Determined Contributions (#NDCs) Dr. Diego Pacheco, Head of the Bolivian Delegation and General Director of Living Well and Foreign Affairs, Vice presidency of the Plurinational State of Bolivia ???? shared key priorities for the Roadmap and how it should play an important role in moving the #UNFCCC process back towards equity and justice. Priorities included: 1. The provision of public finance by developed countries to all developed countries, fulfilling article 9 of the Paris Agreement 2. A focus on climate finance for developing countries, not mobilisation for developing and developed countries. 3. The need to strengthen the financial mechanism of the UNFCCC to allow all developing countries to access climate finance e.g. through the Green Climate Fund 4. The need to strengthen non-market based approaches.? 5. The need to create fiscal space for developing countries. David Bailey, Head of Global Climate Finance, UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office indicated that there was “no ideological retreat from? climate finance” by the UK despite the woeful outcome on the #NCQG and the UK Government’s recent disastrous cuts to its aid budget in favour of defence spending. Meena Raman, President, Friends of the Earth Malaysia ???? and Head of Programmes, Third World Network, reminded that there was money for wars ?? and for military funding ?? but not for climate action. “Remember that they found 600 billion USD overnight to protect the Western World from the pandemic ??. There is no empathy, thus no political will, ” and stressed the need to fill the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage. Rebecca Thissen, Global Advocacy Lead, Climate Action Network International warned that the? Roadmap “could be a Roadmap to nowhere” if it did not deliver on key priorities including:? ?? Reclaiming the role of qualitative finance, with a clear focus on public finance; and ??Prioritising grants or at least excluding non concessional loans.

???“‘Drill baby drill’ will turn into ‘Burn baby burn’ and to ‘Drown baby drown’,” a scary (but looming) thought expressed by Meena Raman of the Third World Network on the existential threat that? #LossAndDamage poses without massively scaled up climate action ?? during the “From Baku to Belém: The Climate Finance Roadmap to #COP30" workshop organised by the University of Warwick - Warwick Business School at #TheShard on the 4th of March 2025 to evaluate the outcomes of #COP29 and deliberate on the trajectory of #ClimateFinance leading up to #COP30.??? ?? A packed room of experts, researchers and civil society actors listened to introductory remarks by Professor Kerry Kirwan of University of Warwick and Lord Teverson before the first panel “unpacked climate finance in the multilateral system”, under the guidance of Celine Tan, Professor of International Economic Law at University of Warwick. ??? In a well-documented presentation entitled ‘Climate Finance – Whither Post – Baku?’, Vicente Paolo Yu, Senior Legal Adviser at Third World Network highlighted how the G77 and China ???? had tirelessly driven the work to build the #LossAndDamage mechanisms that we have today, including the Fund for Response to #LossAndDamage, The #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage and the Warsaw International Mechanism for #LossAndDamage.? Referencing the voices heard by actor Kevin Costner in the film ‘Field of Dreams’: “If you build it, they will come”, Vicente Paolo Yu, stressed that despite having put in place this #LossAndDamage architecture, developed countries had failed to meet their legal obligations and moral duties to provide public grant based finance ?? for #LossAndDamage ??. Therefore according to Vicente Paolo Yu, the Roadmap ??? must address the #LossAndDamage finance gap and the need to return to a focus on equity ?? under the #UNFCCC. ?? Katie Swan-Nelson of UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) highlighted the total inadequacy of the #NCQG outcome at #COP29, including the failure to put in place sub goals for #Mitigation, #Adaptation and #LossAndDamage, and stressed how the The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development is an opportunity to align development and #ClimateFinance priorities.? Jon Sward of Bretton Woods Project highlighted how putting in place a robust UN tax convention “is a major win, the need for independent debt work out mechanisms and the expanded uses of Special Drawing Rights and the importance of placing guardrails around the role of private finance.

???This?#InternationalWomensDay, we share the journey of our very own Finance Lead,?Brenda Mwale???. From the frontlines of the?#ClimateCrisis ?????, experiencing?#LossAndDamage?first-hand in Malawi ????, to climate negotiations ??,?Brenda Mwale?has shown resilience ?? and leadership ? helping women and girls ???? in her community realise their potential to bring about change. She went from initiating award-winning social projects in her community to also being the Climate Diplomacy Advisor for the?#LDC?Chair, making her contribution in negotiation rooms on the global stage ??. "It is high time we understand that girls and young women are not only vulnerable to the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis, they are also solution providers, the change we want in our communities, innovators and leaders. It is high time we mainstream gender in climate action and provide them with platforms to showcase their potential, skills and experience," says Brenda. With women and girls being disproportionately impacted by the #ClimateCrisis ???????, the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage needs to see more women ??♀???♀?on its Board and the first woman co-chair in 2025.

??USEFUL INFO: The provisional agenda for the 5th meeting (B5) of the Board of the Fund for Responding to #LossAndDamage —which will take place in Bridgetown, Barbados, from the 8-10th of April—? is now out. ??Find it here: https://lnkd.in/eTvQVESK ??B5’s big agenda item will focus on the proposal for the start-up phase of the Fund, under which the Board should agree on how the Fund will make its first interventions to address #LossAndDamage. With escalating #LossAndDamage continuing to devastated communities and countries on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis, the Fund must start disbursing grants in 2025. However, urgency must go hand in hand with safeguarding and therefore these early interventions must be effective and #HumanRIghts aligned (ideally with a focus on community access). Other items on the agenda include: ??Establishment of a Budget Committee of the Board; ??Report of the Secretariat; ??Workplan and Administrative budget matters of the Fund; ??Report of the Co-Chairs; ???Proposals from the Co-Chairs: Procedures for determining when all efforts at reaching consensus have been exhausted; ????Proposal from the Co-Chairs: Guidance from #COP29; ??Guidelines for the participation of Advisers in meetings of the Board and meetings of committees; and; ??? Dialogue with civil society. ??As we look forward to B5, we call on the Independent Secretariat and the Board of the Fund to ensure that all documents for the meeting will be released in a timely manner and that all planned consultations will take place with notifications going out well in advance. This is essential to ensure the meaningful participation of rights-holders.? ??Stay tuned for our key messages for each of the agenda items for B5, in the meantime we recommend revising the resources below.? ?? ??Find the UNFCCC webpage for B5 here: https://lnkd.in/e2kqS4Td ??See which pledges have been paid into the Fund here (?? sadly less than 50% of what has been pledged has been paid in to the Fund…): https://lnkd.in/ePjcNJvH ??Find out what happened at the 4th meeting of the Board here: https://lnkd.in/eW5-EGZ8 [Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), Ibrahima Cheikh DIONG, Harjeet Singh, Liane Schalatek, Lien Vandamme, Chiara Liguori, Loss and Damage Youth Coalition, Asian Peoples' Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD), Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), Brandon Wu, Jean-Christophe Donnellier, Climate Home News, Joe Lo.]

??? Lesson 3?? On why developing countries need to step into their historical responsibility ? As you wait for plenary later on today, we thought we’d provide you with some educational material. ?? ??The teacher is in. ??In a press conference yesterday held by Demand Climate Justice, renowned climate justice activist, Meena Raman of Third World Network, gave a lesson on the unfairness of the #ParisAgreement and how it violates the right of developing countries to develop - all because developed countries have used up more than their fair share of the carbon budget and refuse to take the leadership needed on both #mitigation to keep 1.5 alive ??? and providing #ClimateFinance to enable #ClimateAction in developing countries. ?? ?? Developed countries have used up much of the carbon budget. As Meena shared in her last lesson, colonialism is the reason why developed countries became wealthy ????. They extracted resources ???? and used free labour from Africans kidnapped from their homes and sold into slavery ?? which fuelled economic growth ?? - all on the backs of developing countries. ?? Yet, even though the right to development is inscribed in the UNFCCC UN, developing countries are still expected to take #mitigation action at the same level of developed countries and achieve net-zero at the same time. ?? Some developing countries pushed for a fair shares approach in the #ParisAgreement but developed countries refused to consider this.?? They do not want to be told what to do and how and when to do it, yet they are continually dictating what developing countries should do and when and how - all without providing finance to implement what they are told to do even though the obligations to do so are inscribed in both the UNFCCC UN and its #ParisAgreement. ?? Developing countries have asked for burden sharing arrangements which would see #ClimateFinance tied to the proportion of historical emissions ?????? that developed countries are responsible for, which they have also refused to consider. ?? The takeaway: There is nothing fair about the way things are currently working and certainly not with the set of texts we received yesterday, particularly on the #NCQG.? ___ ? ??
