Puesta en marcha del Fondo para Pérdidas y Daños: Aprender de los beneficiarios previstos

The report outlines four cross-cutting recommendations for the Loss and Damage Fund: adopting participatory decision-making, creating direct access mechanisms for local actors, implementing 'learning-by-doing' capacity building, and adopting holistic approaches that prioritize human rights and non-economic losses. It identifies significant barriers to climate finance, including complex access procedures and limited local capacity, and advocates for a fund design that empowers marginalized groups and ensures rapid, flexible disbursement.

• The report recommends that the Loss and Damage Fund adopt participatory and representative decision-making processes to ensure power is shared and marginalized groups—including youth, women, indigenous peoples, and LGBTQIA+ individuals—have meaningful representation in governance structures.
• To address the deficiency in local access to finance, the authors propose a specific mechanism for local recipients to receive funds independently of their national governments, potentially through small grants or direct cash transfers to households and NGOs.
• The report suggests a 'learning-by-doing' approach to capacity building, where vulnerable countries and local organizations start with small pilot projects with flexible due diligence requirements to build the track record necessary for larger future investments.
• The fund should employ holistic approaches that cover the full spectrum of loss and damage, specifically addressing non-economic losses such as mental health services and ecosystem restoration, while guiding all actions by human rights and dignity.
• Economic costs of loss and damage in the Global South are projected to reach between 290 and 580 billion dollars annually by 2030.
• Stakeholders identified several critical barriers to accessing climate finance, including complex and restrictive procedures for local actors, disbursement delays, language barriers, and conflicts of interest between beneficiaries and their national governments.
