Aid agencies are increasingly worried about the widespread damage of climate change.

The usual sources of disaster aid funding haven't come close to meeting the need in hard-hit countries in recent years .

Aid groups are developing new ways to meet the need more effectively.

They are getting aid to countries before the damage occurs.

Managing climate risk requires a variety of innovative solutions before, during and after disaster events, says Erin Coughlan de Perez .

The new Loss and Damage Fund is only of a part of a mosaic of initiatives seeking to address climate disasters.

Communities will need to plant different crops, build flood drainage systems and live in adaptive buildings, she says.
