Speaking ahead of the inaugural board meeting of the new international Loss and Damage Fund for climate change next week, Amnesty International’s Climate Advisor Ann Harrison said:
“Amnesty International and other climate justice organizations are deeply concerned about restrictions imposed on the participation of civil society organizations at the first board meeting of the Loss and Damage Fund.
“This inaugural meeting should set a precedent by enhancing and welcoming the participation of civil society, not severely limiting its involvement. Full involvement of civil society would help reflect the views of the often diverse and marginalized communities whose rights are most affected by the climate crisis.
