FILL THE FUND
The world’s wealthiest nations have a historical responsibility to help frontline communities recover from devastating climate impacts. But the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) remains critically underfunded, little more than an empty promise.
The time for promises is over! The time to Pay Up is now!
The "Fill The Fund" campaign is a global call to action demanding that rich countries and corporate polluters deliver the hundred of billions in real, accessible funding needed to address the climate induced Loss and Damage.

‘A Profound Injustice’: Global Campaign Slams Loss & Damage Fund Board for Inaction, Betrayal of Climate Victims
ā
āFollowing the conclusion of the 7th Board Meeting of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), the ‘Fill The Fund’ campaign and global civil society leaders have condemned the outcomes as a profound failure to meet the urgent needs of climate-vulnerable nations. After three days of deliberations in Manila, the board approved key operational policies that critics say establish a slow, bureaucratic, and underfunded mechanism, betraying the fund's core mandate to provide rapid support to communities devastated by the climate crisis.ā
ā
The Manila meeting was meant to finalize essential steps to make the fund operational, but advocates argue it has instead cemented a flawed model that is unfit for purpose.
Campaign Update | July 9, 2025
Live from Cebu: Campaigners demand robust action at 6th FRLD Board Meeting as the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage Board meets in the Philippines, our partners are on the ground demanding development of a strong Resource Mobilization Strategy that puts the needs of frontline communities first.
![ā°The 2026 #JuneClimateMeetings are starting today in Bonn, Germany š©šŖ. #LossAndDamage is not on the official agenda, but that will not stop us from demanding the rich polluting countries #FillTheFund for responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD). ā
šHere is a reminder of what is at stake, our 5 key expectations on #LossAndDamage, and how the meetings can help us #FillTheFund!
šļøšļøThe main focus of the June Climate Meetings will be climate change adaptation, this is critical for reducing #LossAndDamage, and like the FRLD, chronically underfunded.
š«šThere is also a significant focus on climate change mitigation and the transition away from fossil fuels, this is crucial as limiting global heating to 1.5Ā°C is the best way to avoid future #LossAndDamage.
š„But #LossAndDamage is already devastating lives and livelihoods across the globe, with frontline countries and communities in the Global South being left to pick up the bill for a crisis they did little or nothing to cause.
š¢Here are 5 ways that we can make progress on our mission to #FillTheFund in Bonn:
1. š°Cementing #LossAndDamage as the third pillar of #ClimateAction in #ClimateFinance discussions: In Bonn we will see the first workshop of the two year work programme on #ClimateFinance launched at COP30 and an event on the implementation of the Baku to BelĆ©m Roadmap to 1.3T. This is an important moment to demand the rich polluting countries #PayUp4LossAndDamage!
2. š£ļøOn 10 June at 16:30, the FRLD will host a side event. This will be a critical opportunity to hear updates on the number of funding requests made under the start up phase of the FRLD āthe Barbados Implementation Modalitiesā and will demonstrate why we need to #FillTheFund.
3. šIn parallel to the June Climate Meetings, the FRLD will hold online consultations on its resource mobilization strategy (RMS) (aka how to #FillTheFund) which will be considered by the Board of the FRLD at its 9th meeting in July. This will be a crucial moment to demand that a #HumanRights aligned RMS delivers at least 400 billion USD a year by 2035.
