The meeting of the Board of the #LossAndDamageFund just ended in Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪.
Despite the restrictions on public participation during this 1st meeting, Board Members overwhelmingly stressed the importance of #CSOs & #IndigenousPeople participation.
Read our reaction 🧵👇
As the #LossAndDamageFund Board meets in Abu Dhabi, they should explicitly commit to be guided by human rights obligations in their work plan and set out a road map for the development of policies that truly protect communities.✊ #HumanRights4LDFCSO
Finally today the #LossAndDamageFund Board meets for the first time.
We need a Fund for the People by the People.
✊ #HumanRights4LDF
This is what it means: (1/6)
A #LossAndDamageFund that generates additional debt for those affected by the climate crisis puts the burden twice on those who are least responsible.
Loans are ill-designed to repair or redress what is lost, and the LDF must be grants-based. Time for real #ClimateReparations !
The #LossAndDamageFund (LDF) has the potential to be transformational IF it:
👉Is truly inclusive & participatory,
👉Complies with #HumanRights ,
👉Realizes direct funding access for affected communities.

The Board of the #LossAndDamageFund meets today for the 1st time. Policymakers discussing the fund must:
⚖️Uphold #HumanRights & take a gender-transformative approach,
⚖️Be guided by human rights obligations & do no harm
⚖️Meet the priorities of frontline communities.
A 🧵👇
To avoid harm to the environment & human rights through #LossAndDamageFund activities and ensure that the LDF advances substantive equality, the Board must develop:
🥇 A dedicated safeguards framework
🥈 Intersectional policies to uphold the rights of women & marginalized groups
A key priority of the #LossAndDamageFund Board meeting this week must be the development of a comprehensive participation framework that:
👉 Encompasses planning, implementation & decision-making
👉 Builds on an inclusive consultation process.
