تفعيل صندوق الخسائر واألرضار من وجهات نظر الممّو والمستفيدين المحتمل نين

The document argues that the Loss and Damage Fund must be established through transparent, fair, and inclusive processes to effectively support vulnerable countries. It emphasizes the need for flexible funding windows, participatory governance that empowers local communities, and a diverse range of financial instruments—primarily grants—to avoid increasing debt in affected nations. The brief highlights four critical trade-offs: scope versus coordination, participatory versus delegated governance, inclusive versus rapid decision-making, and accessibility versus oversight.

• The fund should avoid overly strict definitions of eligible activities or sectors, as rigid constraints may fail to meet actual needs on the ground. Instead, it should prioritize critical funding gaps such as immediate relief, livelihood protection, mental health services, and long-term ecological restoration.
• To ensure flexibility, the fund should utilize various funding windows rather than pre-defined themes. These include flexible non-earmarked funding for governments, event-based windows for immediate disaster relief, and small grants windows specifically for local NGOs and community groups with simplified due diligence.
• Funding should primarily be provided as grants rather than loans to avoid exacerbating the debt burdens of climate-vulnerable countries. The brief suggests combining small grants for local actors with direct cash transfers to affected individuals and families.
• The fund needs to diversify its financial sources beyond public funding, incorporating contributions from philanthropic organizations, the private sector, and innovative mechanisms such as taxes or levies on aviation, consumption, or fossil fuels.
• There is a critical gap in funding access at the local community level. The fund should prioritize countries with low capacity to access other climate funds and consider 'learning by doing' approaches where due diligence requirements evolve as project risks change.
