Many end up on embankments or roadsides without secure shelter or access to basic services like water, healthcare, or education.

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.

As part of our commitment to generate learning from our portfolio, CJRF is piloting a new space for partners to learn from and connect with one another.
