The Loss and Damage Fund, established at COP28, represents a crucial step toward addressing the impacts of climate change, especially for Indigenous Peoples. This webinar will explore the operationalization of the fund and examine its practical and conceptual implications. We will delve into key questions, such as how funds will be raised, how compensation will work, and how the fund can best benefit those affected by losses, including cultural heritage and biodiversity. This is an opportunity to reflect on the urgent need for climate justice and to explore how the Loss and Damage Fund can truly support Indigenous Peoples in the face of climate change.
