Tanzania urged the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage to provide equitable and rapid financing for nations bearing the heaviest burden of climate impacts during the launch of its first funding call at COP30 in Belem, Brazil. Special Presidential Envoy Richard Muyungi, who leads the African Group of Negotiators, emphasized that the mechanism must deliver tangible support beyond ceremonial promises as floods, droughts, cyclones and erosion continue destroying livelihoods across the continent.
The fund board allocated 250 million dollars for 2025-2026 interventions under the Barbados Implementation Modalities. Muyungi called for sustainable resource replenishment, streamlined application processes for least developed countries, and coordination among global climate response institutions to ensure transparent aid delivery to frontline communities most affected by disasters they did not cause.
