📣 The Fund for Responding to Loss & Damage #FRLD agreed to set aside $20 million for Nepal. This is a necessary sign of solidarity, but a drop in the ocean compared to the billions needed to respond to the devastating floods that have hit the country: www.fillthefund.org/post/frld-ne... A🧵

Nepal’s government estimates the loss and damage from the floods at a minimum of $2.69 billion. These estimates only capture the economic toll, not the lives lost, livelihoods destroyed, cultural heritage erased or the lasting aftermath of displacement & debt for the communities.

💸 ❌ This is not charity; it is a matter of legal obligation. As the International Court of Justice made clear, States most responsible for the crisis have the duty to deliver meaningful remedies and reparations for climate harm. www.rfi.fr/en/internati...

As governments gather in Antalya for #COP31, they must send an unequivocal signal: we are deep into the era of climate disasters, and the response must move beyond messages of solidarity to delivering justice and reparations for those least responsible and hardest hit.
