⚠️USEFUL INFO: The 9th meeting of the Board of the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) will take place from the 8-10 of July in Manila, in the Philippines, and crucially, how to #FillTheFund is on the agenda! 🔎 Here is a quick overview of what to expect from just some of the key agenda items (its a packed agenda 😱 ) and how they relate to our mission to #FillTheFund: 📜 The Pipeline status report of the Barbados Implementation Modalities (BIM) —the start up phase of the FRLD: We will finally hear how many funding requests there have been under the BIM and what the total amount of money requested is. We expect this to be in the billions, when only 250 million USD is allocated to the BIM. This is exactly why we need to #FillTheFund! 🌀 Funding requests for Board consideration: The Board will start adopting funding requests, this is a historic moment for the Fund. Four funding requests will be considered by the Board, one each from Haiti, Nigeria, Jamaica and Côte d'Ivoire. Together these funding requests total 77.4 million USD, almost a third of the 250 million USD is allocated to the BIM, yet another reason to #FillTheFund! 🔗 An overview, the funding requests and the Secretariat reports for each one of these requests can be found here: https://lnkd.in/esND_u2J 💰 Resource Mobilization Strategy (RMS) Stage 1: The Board will consider the initial plan to #FillTheFund. This is critical, as without new pledges the Fund could run out of money in 2027. Our demands are clear, the rich polluting countries in the Global North that have caused the climate crisis must #PayUp4LossAndDamage! They need to #FillTheFund with new, additional, public, grant based #LossAndDamageFinanceNow! 📈 Replenishment process: The Board will consider the process for the first replenishment of the FRLD. This must set a target of at least 50 billion USD a year (200 billion USD between 2027 and 2031). The loss and damage needs of developing countries are already estimated in the range of hundreds of billions per year. If we don't #FillTheFund, they will continue to pick up the bill for a #ClimateCrisis they did little or nothing to cause! 🗣️ Policy on Active Observers: The Board will consider the policy for Active Observers. This must ensure that the right-based observers (women, youth, environmental NGOs and Indigenous Peoples) who fought for 30 years for a #LossAndDamage Fund have a seat at the table and the private sector does not. 🔗The documents* and webcasts for B9 will be here: https://lnkd.in/esND_u2J 🤯*Many B9 documents have still not been released, despite a deadline being in place of 21 days before the Board meeting. 👋We will be in Manila. Get in touch: campaign@fillthefund.org 🔴Stay tuned for more updates ahead of and during B9. 🤗Join the campaign: https://lnkd.in/d5-THNK3 [The Loss and Damage Collaboration, Loss and Damage Youth Coalition, SCIAF, Harjeet Singh, Liane Schalatek],
