Isatis M. Cintron-Rodriguez<\/i><\/strong> is a Puerto Rican p<\/em>ostdoctoral researcher on climate justice at Columbia University Climate School and the director of Climate Trace Puerto Rico, working on participatory climate governance.<\/em> <\/span><\/i>Liane Schalatek<\/strong> is associate director at the Heinrich Boell Stiftung Washington with expertise in UN climate funds and finance. <\/span><\/i>Lien Vandamme<\/i><\/strong> is senior campaigner for the Climate & Energy Program at the Center for International Environmental Law.<\/em><\/p>\n

Imagine losing your home to catastrophic floods, your loved ones to unprecedented hurricanes, your livelihood to raging wildfires, or your ancestors\u2019 graves to rising sea levels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, to add insult to injury, imagine losing your voice and rights in the very UN institution mandated to alleviate the costs of these climate-related harms for the hardest hit in communities such as yours.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Technocrats talking about you, without you; decisions made – including, ironically, on participation and stakeholder engagement – while you have no meaningful say. Justice denied from the outset.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This could be the dire reality when the new board of the Loss and Damage Fund (LDF) convenes for the first time in Abu Dhabi (UAE) next week (April 30 \u2013 May 2). Designed to provide long-awaited justice for those suffering the most from climate impacts, the fund risks failing right from the start by limiting access for those it claims to support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Expectations mount<\/strong> as loss and damage fund staggers to its feet<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those most affected by the climate crisis know all too well the losses and damages they are suffering and how to repair these harms. Their involvement in the LDF is essential not only for its effectiveness but for its legitimacy and for justice. Even more than any other, this fund needs to be driven by people, to respect their rights, and hear their voices.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s start with the basics: public participation and access to information are human rights. Accountability, transparency and participation in decision-making are the hallmarks of democratic governance – and their importance for the LDF\u2019s ability to meet local needs and priorities cannot be overstated.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These fundamental rights are rooted in the understanding that people should hold power over decisions that concern their lives and communities. Science and experience show that such participation also leads to more effective and sustainable outcomes. Getting participation right from the start is essential to the LDF\u2019s legitimacy, equity, effectiveness and potential for transformative change.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sidelined in planning<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The LDF would not exist if it were not for the decades-long relentless calls for justice and affirmative action by communities, civil society and Indigenous Peoples, which escalated to an impossible-to-ignore volume over the last few years.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite these loud calls, rightsholders\u2019 representatives were sidelined during the fund’s planning stages last year. While a small group of countries in a Transitional Committee debated the fund\u2019s scope and aims, <\/span>civil society consistently had to put up a fight<\/span><\/a> merely to be let into the room.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And history is repeating itself. The LDF\u2019s Governing Instrument (adopted at COP28) reinforces the need to support local communities and recognition of their participation. Yet the first board meeting limits participation to two people per UNFCCC stakeholder group – some of which represent millions, even billions, of people – such as Indigenous Peoples, youth, and women and girls.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Such overly restrictive numbers do not allow for the representation of the diversity of voices, groups and organisations under the umbrellas of these groups, and will lead to the exclusion of critical voices.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As donors dither,<\/strong> Indigenous funds seek to decolonise green finance<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These limitations are in stark contrast with participation at another UN fund, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which – while it still has a long way to go to enable effective participation – does not limit board meeting observer attendance either in number or by stakeholder groups. The GCF had a significantly higher attendance than the LDF at its first meetings.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Restricted seating in the actual room will further limit direct interaction with LDF board members making the decisions. The claimed \u2018space constraints\u2019 behind the restrictions are particularly unconvincing, coming from a country that organised the biggest climate talks in history just a few months ago.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Climate justice requires inclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The LDF has the potential to set a new precedent for climate finance – one that values human dignity and amplifies the voices of its beneficiaries. This requires more than a token dialogue with a handful of stakeholders in the first meeting; it necessitates a broad, <\/span>inclusive consultation process<\/span><\/a> that genuinely influences the fund\u2019s policies.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By explicitly endorsing the principles of inclusion, non-discrimination, transparency, access to information, empowerment, collaboration, and accountability, and proactively enabling active participation at all stages – from designing board policies and assessing community-level needs to implementation and decision-making – the LDF could live up to expectations and deliver climate justice.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tensions rise over<\/strong> who will contribute to new climate finance goal<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If the Board does not explicitly and meaningfully include the diverse voices of the rightsholders who are meant to be the LDF\u2019s main beneficiaries, the fund risks becoming another bureaucratic relic, preserving the status quo of climate injustice.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During its first meeting next week, the board has a chance to overcome business-as-usual, as decision-makers will discuss procedures for the participation of observers and stakeholders. It must radically choose to enable and support meaningful participation by the diverse range of groups involved.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The time to act is now. At its inaugural meeting, the board must choose to champion transformative change and genuine justice, setting a course that will define the fund\u2019s legacy. The lives and livelihoods of far too many are on the line.<\/span>
