As climate impacts intensify, the concept of Loss and Damage has become central to global climate negotiations.

But what does it really mean? How can it help communities on the frontlines? And how can we shift financial flows away from polluting industries toward a just and sustainable future?

In the wake of COP30, one of the largest global climate negotiations, join us for a thought-provoking seminar exploring the role of climate finance in addressing Loss and Damage, featuring expert insights from policy, research, and advocacy.
