Since 2015, the increasing number and intensifying nature of the impacts of climate change worldwide and the lack of progress on both the mitigation and adaptation goals outlined in the Paris Agreement (UNEP, 2022b; 2022a) has heightened attention on addressing climate-related losses and damages, particularly in countries in the Global South. Actions and mechanisms for addressing losses and damages are numerous, from measures to preserve lives, livelihoods and dignity, and minimise loss of biodiversity, to the replacement or repair of assets that were lost or damaged, to supporting livelihood recovery and population resettlement to safer locations. However, there is no international policy framework to guide and organise these measures for addressing losses and damages, resulting in partial measures and insufficient financial arrangements.
Nations took a momentous decision at the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) to establish a new Loss and Damage Fund and new funding arrangements to assist developing countries particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change in addressing climate-related losses and damages. A Transitional Committee was mandated to design and operationalise these new funding arrangements, including on institutional arrangements, modalities, structure and governance, as well as elements, sources of funding and coordination with other funding mechanisms, to make recommendations for adoption at COP28. For the proposed financing mechanisms to be effective, the Transitional Committee will need to find solutions to barriers that are already preventing the channelling of resources and support to where they are most needed, and other barriers preventing effective action.
This Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) begins to identify different barriers and assess how they are constraining efforts to address climate-related losses and damages in low- and middle-income countries. It also analyses how frequently these barriers are reported and analysed in the policy and academic literature, and highlights variations across contexts.
The findings of this assessment are valuable for stakeholders engaged in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process and beyond.
They can be used to help shape action and support for vulnerable countries and communities. An understanding of the barriers in addressing losses and damages experienced to date should inform the design of the Loss and Damage Fund and be used to enhance coordination across all financing arrangements – to avoid replicating or compounding the barriers. This report can also inform the Terms of Reference that are being drawn up for the new host of the Santiago Network – which will catalyse technical assistance for the implementation of relevant approaches for averting, minimising and addressing losses and damages at the local, national and regional level in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
