As climate disasters escalate, so does the urgency of funding recovery and resilience.
But global loss and damage funding is often slow, bureaucratic, and detached from frontline communities. What if we flipped the model?
This series explores how locally led approaches—like Scotland’s prototype for climate reparations—can inform a more just and effective response. We examine how to move resources faster, center affected communities, and rethink what accountability means in the age of climate crisis.
Proximate is an independent media platform covering movements for participatory problem-solving. We look at the news through the lens of money: how it’s given away, how it’s invested, and how it’s distributed by government.
We are a fiscally sponsored project of Movement Strategy Center.
