First workshop on addressing loss and damage in the context of decisions 2/CP.27 and 2/CMA.4

April 29, 2023 : April 30, 2023 Bonn, Germany

Background and mandate

Decisions 2/CP.27 and 2/CMA.4 established new funding arrangements for assisting developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, in responding to loss and damage, including with a focus on addressing loss and damage by providing and assisting in mobilizing new and additional resources, and that these new arrangements complement and include sources, funds, processes and initiatives under and outside the Convention and the Paris Agreement. In this context, the decisions also establish a fund for responding to loss and damage whose mandate includes a focus on addressing loss and damage.

A transitional committee on the operationalization of the new funding arrangements for responding to loss and damage and the fund was also established, and mandated to make recommendations for consideration and adoption by COP 28 and CMA 5, with a view to operationalizing the funding arrangements, including the fund.

To inform these recommendations, decisions 2/CP.27 and 2/CMA.4 request the secretariat to conduct two workshops in 2023, with the participation of a diversity of institutions, relevant to addressing loss and damage associated with climate change impacts. Additionally, Parties and relevant organizations were invited to submit via the submission portal by 15 February 2023 views on topics for these workshops.
