Rendre opérationnel le fonds pertes et préjudices

This executive summary, published by the Stockholm Environment Institute, provides recommendations for the operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund established at COP27. Based on research by SEI, ICCCAD, and Germanwatch, the document analyzes existing financial architectures to propose a governance and funding model that is equitable, inclusive, and accessible to the most vulnerable communities and marginalized groups in the Global South.

• The economic cost of loss and damage in the Global South is projected to reach between 290 and 580 billion US dollars annually by 2030.
• To ensure sustainable funding, the Fund should utilize multiple sources beyond public finance, including the private sector, foundations, and charitable organizations, while prioritizing historical responsibility over strict liability.
• Governance should be participatory and representative of civil society and community groups, potentially utilizing a two-tier system with a global oversight board and regional or thematic committees to manage distribution at local and subnational levels.
• Access to the Fund should be simplified to avoid excluding entities with low capacity or those in conflict zones. Recommendations include using accelerated access for already accredited entities, modulating due diligence based on the amount requested, and creating specialized windows for local NGOs and small countries.
• The Fund should prioritize grants and flexible programmatic funding over rigid project proposals, allowing countries to align spending with their own national loss and damage roadmaps.
• To reach the most marginalized, the Fund should adopt humanitarian sector methods, such as channeling funds directly through local NGOs and requiring governments to ensure a specific percentage of funding reaches the local level.
• Rather than creating strict boundaries between loss and damage and other sectors, the Fund should take a comprehensive approach that integrates overlaps with adaptation, humanitarian aid, development, and disaster risk reduction.
