This executive summary, published by the Stockholm Environment Institute, provides recommendations for operationalizing the Loss and Damage Fund established at COP27. Based on workshops with stakeholders from the Global South, the document advocates for participatory governance, direct access for local communities, and a comprehensive approach to reparations that includes non-economic losses and human rights.

• The cost of loss and damage for countries in the Global South is projected to reach between 290 and 580 billion US dollars annually by 2030.
• To ensure equitable and inclusive governance, the Fund should adopt a participatory decision-making approach. This includes allowing civil society members to sit on the board of directors or delegating power to thematic and regional advisory committees to represent vulnerable groups such as women, youth, indigenous peoples, and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
• There is a critical need for direct access windows that allow local beneficiaries, such as local NGOs and marginalized populations, to obtain funding independently of their national governments. This is intended to bypass slow national processes and potential conflicts of interest, potentially utilizing small grants or direct cash transfers.
• The Fund should employ a 'learning by doing' method to build institutional and technical capacity. This involves starting with small-scale pilot projects with flexible due diligence requirements, which can then serve as a guarantee for more ambitious future investments.
• Reparations should be comprehensive and based on human rights and dignity, covering both economic livelihoods and non-economic losses, such as mental health services and the restoration of damaged ecosystems. The document suggests using local needs and values to define loss and damage rather than strict eligibility criteria.
• Significant obstacles currently hinder access to loss and damage financing, including complex and restrictive procedures for local actors and Least Developed Countries (LDCs), disbursement delays, language barriers, and limited human resources in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
