S’APPUYER SUR LES DROITS HUMAINS POUR GUIDER LA MISE EN ŒUVRE DU FONDS POUR LES PERTES ET LES PRÉJUDICES

The document outlines a human rights-based framework for the loss and damage fund, emphasizing the need for inclusive public participation, non-discriminatory access to finance, and the use of grants rather than loans to avoid increasing debt in developing nations. It proposes that funding be based on the 'polluter pays' principle and that the fund provide comprehensive reparations, including restitution and compensation, while ensuring strong social and environmental safeguards.

• The loss and damage fund must be designed to provide an 'effective remedy' for those most affected by the climate crisis, moving beyond immediate emergency responses to include a full typology of reparations: restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction, and guarantees of non-repetition.
• To prevent further marginalization, the fund must adopt an intersectional and gender-sensitive perspective to address how climate risks disproportionately affect people with disabilities, women, girls, LGBTQI+ individuals, and informal workers.
• Public participation is deemed indispensable for the fund's legitimacy; the authors advocate for the inclusion of civil society and indigenous peoples as active observers in the transition committee and the fund's governing board.
• The document argues that funding should be primarily public and grant-based to avoid exacerbating the debt crisis in the Global South, as loans are unsuitable for addressing irreversible losses that do not generate income for repayment.
• The authors propose utilizing 'innovative sources of financing' based on the 'polluter pays' principle, such as international taxes on commercial flights, maritime shipping emissions, a climate damages tax, and the redirection of fossil fuel subsidies.
• The fund requires rigorous social and environmental safeguards to ensure it does not cause harm, specifically excluding activities that lead to forced evictions or displacements of indigenous peoples.
