ACT2025 - From Principles to Policy: National Pathways for Addressing Loss & Damage

As the impacts of climate change intensify, national leadership on loss and damage is gaining critical momentum. With the operationalization of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) and growing attention to country-led approaches, it is essential to understand how governments are translating global principles into actionable national policies.

This event will convene governments, civil society, and research partners to explore how countries are developing national frameworks to respond to irreversible climate impacts, ensure accountability, and link domestic action to global financing mechanisms such as the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD). Participants will discuss practical experiences in policy design, institutional coordination, and stakeholder engagement -- highlighting opportunities to accelerate delivery of support where it is most needed.
