Loss and Damage

Loss and Damage refers to the negative impacts of climate change that are beyond the ability of communities or countries to adapt to or mitigate. This includes harm from extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and environmental degradation that result in the loss of homes, livelihoods, and ecosystems. It highlights the need for financial and technical support from developed countries to help vulnerable nations recover from these impacts. Essentially, Loss and Damage addresses the unfair consequences of climate change where those least responsible for emissions suffer the most.
