HNPW Event – Loss and Damage Financing: Humanitarian Perspectives

Tuesday, March 25, 2025: 14:00 - 15:30 CET
Humanitarians are already working in areas affected by loss and damage from climate change - alongside, and with, affected communities. As the loss and damage financing architecture continues to be operationalized, ensuring that mechanisms such as the Santiago Network and the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) reach the most vulnerable people and communities is a key humanitarian ask and concern. This event, coordinated by members of the IASC Climate Crisis Sub-Group, will provide an opportunity for a practical conversation on the emerging loss and damage funding architecture, including on the complementarity and coherence of emerging funding arrangements.
