$1.2 TRILLION for military budget, only $348M for Loss and Damage? This is the theft of climate justice. We fought for the FRLD. We won’t let it be an empty promise. Global North #PayUp and #FillTheFund now!

$1.2 TRILLION for military budget, only $348M for Loss & Damage? This is the theft of climate justice. Loss & Damage exists because of decades of inaction by the richest govts.

We fought for the FRLD. We won’t let it be an empty promise. Global North #PayUp & #FillTheFund now!

B6 failed to set a path for billions in Loss & Damage finance. Tasneem Essop calls #FillTheFund vital to push rich nations to pay their fair share.

The fight continues on the road to the 7th Fund for responding to #LossAndDamage (FRLD) Board Meeting in Manila (Oct 2025) and the #COP30 climate summit in Belém (Nov 2025).

We will demand that the Fund's strategy is rooted in the legal liability of developed countries and corporate polluters.

Energized by this ruling, the #FillTheFund campaign will intensify its efforts and carry this Advisory Opinion into every negotiation room, challenging any attempt to substitute grant-based reparations with burdensome loans.

This ruling transforms the demand for #LossAndDamage finance into a clear legal obligation.

Support for vulnerable nations is not charity, but a legal duty rooted in historical responsibility. It's time for #reparations.

The world's highest court has affirmed the ‘polluter pays’ principle as a cornerstone of international law for the #ClimateCrisis.

This isn't just a statement; it's a powerful legal tool to hold polluting states and corporations to account. #MakePollutersPay

👏 The world's highest court has ruled that states have legal duties to act on climate change and that inaction violates human rights.

A huge victory for the planet, for the future, and led by the Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change.

For decades we've been point to this injustice. After all this, what's being delivered in addressing the damages the global North has created? 0.03% of what's needed.

Fill The Fund @fillthefund.bsky.social · Jul 10

Let's talk numbers. The Justice Gap is immense.

Annual Need: US $395 billion

Initial Allocation: US $125 million

That’s just 0.03% of what's needed to help frontline communities every year. We are tracking every dollar, from promise to payment. #LossAndDamage

Les pays les plus vulnérables face au changement climatique ne peuvent toujours pas compter sur le soutien financier des gros pollueurs historiques.

Seulement 0,03 % des pertes et dommages du changement climatique dans les pays du Sud sont indemnisés

Comment mettre fin à ce scandale🧶👇

The establishment of the Fund for responding to #LossandDamage was a breakthrough, but it remains critically underfunded—little more than an empty promise.

Rich nations are now shirking their historical responsibility.

With annual climate damages estimated at nearly $400 billion, we need real, accessible, grant-based Loss and Damage finance at scale.

We demand hundreds of billions, not millions. As grants, not loans. Join the global call to action: shorturl.at/hO3vJ

This is not about charity!

This is about justice!

The #ClimateCrisis was caused by wealthy nations and corporate polluters who continue to profit while frontline communities suffer. Big polluters created this crisis. It's time they pay the bill. #MakePollutersPay #FillTheFund
