loss and damage framework

The loss and damage framework addresses the impacts of climate change that cannot be prevented or adapted to, especially in vulnerable communities. It recognizes that some damages—like extreme weather, rising sea levels, or irreversible environmental changes—cause financial loss and social harm. This framework aims to provide support, resources, and coordinated efforts to help affected countries recover and reduce future risks. It encourages fairness, accountability, and shared responsibility among nations, emphasizing the need for financial assistance and collaborative solutions to manage climate-related losses that go beyond traditional adaptation measures.
