CJRF is pleased to announce that climate justice advocate Pato Kelesitse is now a member of our Governing Board. Pato joins eight climate-justice practitioners in shaping the strategic direction of the Fund.

As the Transitional Committee on Loss and Damage meets for the final time before COP28, we must continue to center the experiences of frontline communities. This brief shares lessons learned from community-led projects.

Recently, CJRF and the Scottish Government announced that their partnership to address loss and damage will continue with an additional £5 million in grants, technical assistance, and advocacy support for non-economic loss and damage. That’s more than $6 million using today’s currency standards.  

We’re excited to share the results of our first six years of grant making! The executive summary (pdf) linked below summarizes the key findings and recommendations from ISET International’s independent portfolio evaluation of the Climate Justice Resilience Fund.

The Program Assistant will provide administrative and communications support for the Fund, its staff, and its Governing Board.

PRESS RELEASE: The Climate Justice Resilience Fund will support communities on the frontlines of climate change around the world to identify, prioritize, and address the non-economic loss and damage they suffer.

CJRF’s fall newsletter focuses on our Governing Board making progress on new policies and strategy, our latest round of grant funding, and information about our upcoming evaluation results and webinar.

With our grant partners, funders, and Council of Advisors, CJRF has invested significantly in learning from our work over the past six years. Recently, we reflected on some of these learnings, drawing from our blogs, webinars, workshops, and grant partners’ reports.
