Dar es Salaam. For the first time since its creation three years ago under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process at COP27 in Egypt (2022), developing countries hit by climate change can now formally apply for financial support from the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD).
The announcement made on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at the ongoing COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, marks a breakthrough for nations already suffering from droughts, floods, sea-level rise, and other irreversible effects of global warming.
