Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage

The Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage is a global effort to support countries severely impacted by climate change, especially those most vulnerable. It helps address the financial and practical challenges faced by nations experiencing extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other climate-related damages. The mechanism promotes knowledge-sharing, resilience building, and financial aid to cope with unavoidable losses, acknowledging that some climate impacts cannot be fully prevented. It aims to ensure fair and effective support for those bearing the greatest burdens from climate change, fostering cooperation and justice among nations.
