Haiti's $20M Loss and Damage Fund Request to Be Reviewed in December 2026

Haiti's request for $20 million in financing from the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) is expected to be reviewed in December 2026, according to Le Nouvelliste. The request was submitted by Haiti to the fund, which was established to help vulnerable countries respond to climate-related loss and damage. According to a note published by the Ministry of the Environment (MDE), the financing "would constitute a first step toward a more ambitious national loss and damage response program benefiting the most vulnerable communities." The note was released following a meeting between Environment Minister Valéry Fils-Aimé and FRLD officials, held on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly. The ministry framed the potential funding as an initial stage in building a broader national program targeting communities most exposed to climate impacts. No further details on the timeline, conditions or disbursement of the funds were provided in the ministry's note as reported by Le Nouvelliste.
