Rendre opérationnel le Fonds pertes et préjudices

The document argues that the Loss and Damage Fund must be managed equitably and transparently to effectively support vulnerable countries. It recommends a participatory governance structure, flexible funding windows—including small grants for local NGOs—and a preference for grants over loans to avoid increasing debt. The brief highlights four central trade-offs: scope versus coordination, participatory versus decentralized governance, inclusive versus rapid decision-making, and accessibility versus rigorous control.

• The Fund's governance should be participatory and representative of civil society and the most vulnerable community groups, including seats on the board and voting power over fund allocation.
• To ensure funds reach the most marginalized, the document suggests creating specialized funding windows, such as a small grants window for local NGOs and community groups with simplified access and due diligence requirements.
• Funding should primarily take the form of grants rather than loans to avoid increasing the debt burden of climate-vulnerable countries.
• The Fund should diversify its financial sources beyond public funding to include the private sector, foundations, and innovative sources such as taxes on aviation, fossil fuels, and carbon border adjustment mechanisms.
• The document identifies four critical trade-offs for the Fund's design: broad scope vs. increased coordination; participatory vs. decentralized governance; inclusive vs. rapid decision-making; and high accessibility vs. rigorous control.
• The cost of loss and damage for countries in the Global South is projected to reach between 290 and 580 billion US dollars per year by 2030.
