LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS COMO BRÚJULA PARA GUIAR LA PUESTA EN MARCHA DEL FONDO PARA PÉRDIDAS Y DAÑOS

The document outlines a human rights-based framework for the Loss and Damage Fund, emphasizing the need for inclusive public participation, comprehensive reparations (including non-economic losses), and public grant-based financing based on the 'polluter pays' principle to avoid increasing debt in the Global South.

• The Loss and Damage Fund must adopt a comprehensive approach to reparations that goes beyond urgent needs to include restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction, and guarantees of non-repetition. This includes addressing non-economic losses such as the loss of life and cultural heritage.
• To prevent the further indebtedness of the Global South, financing for loss and damage should be primarily public and provided as grants rather than loans, as those seeking funds for irreversible losses cannot generate income to repay them.
• Funding should be based on the 'polluter pays' principle, with historical polluters contributing significantly. Proposed innovative sources include levies on commercial passenger flights and international shipping emissions, the redirection of fossil fuel subsidies, a climate damages tax, and debt cancellation.
• Effective governance of the Fund requires a representative Board that includes active observers from civil society and indigenous peoples, ensuring they can propose agenda items and participate in working groups before decisions are made.
• The Fund must implement strict social and environmental safeguards to ensure financing does not cause further human rights violations. These should include gender and human rights impact analyses and the exclusion of activities leading to forced evictions or involuntary resettlement.
• Needs assessments for loss and damage should be participatory and rights-based, utilizing human rights indicators to quantify non-economic losses and ensuring the direct access of marginalized groups to funding.
