1. Overview of the BIM
|
The Board of the FRLD decided at its fifth meeting to establish the Barbados Implementation Modalities to respond to loss and damage (with the acronym BIM) consisting of a first set of interventions for the calendar years of 2025 and 2026 (decision B.5/D.4). A total of USD 250 million was set aside, with a decision to review the need for further allocation at the eighth meeting of the Board, subject to the available commitment authority. All B.5 decisions related to the BIM are available here.
2. Call for funding requests
|
At its seventh meeting, the Board adopted the funding cycle, funding criteria and access modalities for the BIM. All B.7 decisions related to the BIM are available here.
The first call for funding requests for the BIM was launched at COP 30 in Belém, Brazil in November 2025. Funding requests may be submitted to the FRLD Secretariat during the six-month submission period, from 15 December 2025 to 15 June 2026.
