As Money Goes out for Climate-Related Loss and Damage, Displaced Communities Stand to Benefit With the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage scheduled to make its first distribution in 2026, countries and members of the fund’s board have an opportunity to prioritize human mobility.

@iom.int & Ruta del Clima created the first-ever costing tool to quantify #LnD for #plannedrelocation & disaster #displacement. Results in #CostaRica & #Chile calculated that governments would need to invest around $65,384 per household to address LnD.

Newtok, Alaska, Was Supposed to Be a Model for Climate Relocation. Here’s How It Went Wrong. The project’s challenges highlight how ill-prepared the U.S. is to respond to the way climate change is making some places uninhabitable.
