About Us
Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) addresses the urgent and growing needs of vulnerable communities in developing countries facing the irreversible impacts of climate change. It finances initiatives to help vulnerable communities recover from climate-related losses and damage resulting from incidents such as climate-induced extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other climate-induced crises. These initiatives are tailored to respond directly to country-specific needs and priorities, ensuring that solutions are locally driven and contextually appropriate.
