| Background | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Parties requested the secretariat to organize, before its thirty-sixth session, an expert meeting to
address issues related to a range of approaches to address loss and damage associated with the adverse
effects of climate change, including impacts related to extreme weather events and slow onset events, taking
into consideration experience at all levels.
2. What are the foundational resource requirements (e.g. budget, infrastructure, and technical capacity for
implementation) in order for different strategies and tools to be effectively applied?
3. What are the lessons learned from existing efforts within both the public and private sectors, considering
elements of design, limitations, challenges and best practices?
4. What are the links and synergies between risk reduction and other instruments such as risk transfer? How
can comprehensive risk management portfolios or toolkits be designed?
5. How can risk management approaches be tailored to national contexts? How can
Parties and other stakeholders evaluate which tools might be most appropriate for their particular risks and
circumstances?
