9/10 🤝 To support the Secretariat and improve efficiency, the potential role of regional committees was discussed. 🌍 🗣️ However, members requested more clarity on the incentives and decision-making processes for organisations volunteering to evaluate these proposals. 📋

100

Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC) @lossanddamage.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

8/10 📈 Furthermore, interventions stressed that technical assistance should lead to greater support and access to other financing mechanisms like the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage. 💰 ⚖️ Portfolios must balance economic and non-economic loss and damage to truly deliver justice. 🏛️

100

Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC) @lossanddamage.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

7/10 🎯 Representatives reminded the Board that frontline communities are not just vulnerable groups—they are active climate actors. 📊 🔄 TA guidelines must go beyond responding to loss and damage, to actively support communities in averting, minimising, and addressing risks. 💡

100

Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC) @lossanddamage.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

6/10 💰 The Board also discussed the simplified modality for community access, which has a funding threshold of 50,000 USD. 💵 🗣️ Questions were raised on how unregistered community groups can apply, and whether funding calls should be on a rolling basis rather than periodic. 🔄

Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC) @lossanddamage.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

4/5 🌱 Dismantling unjust structures is far more achievable than major polluters and oligarchs want us to believe. 📈 Tipping points show only 20% of a population is needed to drive change, and non-violent protests mobilising 3.5% almost never fail to achieve their goals. 🚀
