Supporting country-owned efforts in responding to climate-induced loss and damage.
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.

This event will provide updates on recent progress and facilitate dialogue among stakeholders as these institutions align their efforts to respond to climate-induced loss and damage.

Launch of the Call for Funding Requests (CFR) for the Barbados Implementation Modalities (BIM)

Belém, Brazil (COP30) - United Nations Climate Change Conference

November 10, 2025 from 16:30 - 18:00

 

As the world converges at COP30 in Brazil, dubbed ‘the implementation COP’, the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) is looking forward to this important avenue for advancing global climate action. Through strategic engagement with a broad range of stakeholders, the Fund will contribute to critical dialogues, and foster partnerships to drive meaningful progress in global climate action, particularly on loss and damage matters.

 

During COP30, the FRLD will take a critical step forward by launching its first Call for Funding Requests under the Barbados Implementation Modalities (BIM), the Fund’s start-up phase, and so called as it was approved at the Fund’s fifth Board meeting in Barbados. This call represents a significant milestone in the Fund’s journey, as it marks the Fund’s transition from establishment to operationalization.
