Who are we?

The L&DC is a group of climate policy and art and cultural practitioners, researchers, scientists and engineers, activists, lawyers, advocates and decision makers from both the global North and South working together to ensure that vulnerable developing countries, and the vulnerable people, communities, ecosystems and species within them, have the support they need to address climate change related loss and damage. 

We have a number of projects and working groups that are directly under, or affiliated with, the L&DC that you can join once your membership is approved, and in some cases without joining the L&DC (as indicated below). They include:

As indicated above there are a number of working groups that you can join without becoming an L&DC member. To do so please contact the coordinators listed above.


Membership Guidelines

The L&DC currently has a membership of nearly 300 individuals. Members of the L&DC engage in their personal capacity. Therefore individuals are members of the L&DC, not institutions or organisations. In light of this, we do not make public a list of members nor of the institutions or organisations that they represent. Our aim is to provide a platform for coordination across stakeholders working on Loss and Damage so we welcome anyone working on Loss and Damage with a focus on supporting developing countries and frontline communities within them. 

Should you have any questions or experience any issue while filling this form, please contact us on: info@lossanddamagecollaboration.org

Please explain your motivation to join the L&DC (Maximum 100 words)

E.g: I joined the L&DC to contribute meaningfully to advancing global efforts that address climate-induced loss and damage, in vulnerable countries like Rwanda. As a climate negotiator and advocate, I believe in the power of collective action and inclusive policy processes. The L&DC provides a unique platform to engage with experts, amplify underrepresented voices and shape impactful initiatives. My motivation stems from a deep commitment to climate justice and the urgent need to operationalise mechanisms like the WIM, SNLD and the FRLD.

What do you want to see more of from the Loss and Damage Collaboration?

E.g: I want to see more radical collaboration between the L&DC and other initiatives, movements and coalitions working on Loss and Damage. Strengthening these connections will amplify more collective impact and drive more collective work. And above all, keep up the amazing work you’re doing!
