The Loss and Damage Fund is a financial mechanism designed to address the unavoidable impacts of climate change that result in loss and damage to communities, economies, and ecosystems. The Loss and Damage Fund was announced at the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference in 2022 (COP27) and key details are being negotiated in the lead up to COP28 in November-December 2023.

The need for the Loss and Damage Fund arises from the recognition that despite global efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the changing climate, loss and damage is already occurring and is projected to increase. Small islands and coastal nations are on the front lines of the climate crisis.
