Campaign Expand Collapse

COP31
Description
In the lead-up to COP31 and in the months that follow, Start Network will be working with members, partners, and allies to make the case for loss and damage finance that reaches communities earlier and through the local organisations already responding on the ground.
We are calling on the FRLD to:
Finance earlier. Recognise and scale up pre-arranged finance: funding agreed in advance and released automatically when risks are forecast, so communities receive support to minimise and mitigate loss and damage before a crisis escalates, not weeks or even months after.
Finance local. Put local actors at the centre, with a dedicated small grants access modality under the FRLD and access routes built for local and national civil society organisations.
Start Network members and hubs are already showing what this looks like in practice through anticipatory action, locally led crisis financing, and rapid pooled funds that release money before and during crises.
It is time to build on what works, scale the models that move finance earlier and closer to communities, and ensure the FRLD is designed around the realities of those already responding to loss and damage.

#COP31 begins in just a few weeks, but communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis cannot afford to wait. As decision-makers come together to shape the future of climate finance, our evidence shows that funding released ahead of forecast climate risks, and guided by communities and local experts, can save lives, protect livelihoods, and ensure hashtag#LossAndDamage funding goes further. We urge the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) to make anticipatory action a core part of its approach to climate finance. Our evidence shows that earlier action delivers greater impact.

Across ten countries, Start Ready has shown that early action saves lives, reduces losses, and speeds up recovery. We need governments and the @FRLD to invest in anticipatory approaches to climate loss and damage.
