Their mission
Loss and Damage Collaboration aims to raise awareness about the critical need for climate justice, advocating for those who are disproportionately impacted by the impacts of climate breakdown.
Working with political and philanthropic actors, Loss and Damage Collaboration's research and advocacy drives the fight to channel finance to the communities who need it most.
Their research provides intellectual leadership on Loss and Damage, and supports their advocacy work with political and philanthropic actors—driving global efforts to channel finance to the communities who need it most.
They convene vital global discussions on loss and damage, climate justice and human rights, facilitating knowledge-sharing across the Loss and Damage network.
