African countries have been left in limbo after the United States announced that it had withdrawn its membership from the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD).
The FRLD was born in November 2024 after a global agreement under which developed nations pledged to compensate developing countries for climate change impacts.
In an official communication to Jean Christophe Donnellier, Developed Country Co-Chair of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage, Rebecca Lawlor, the Deputy Director at the US Office of Climate and Environment, revealed that the US would be withdrawing its membership immediately.
The letter further noted that both the US Board Member and the alternate board member would step down without being replaced.
