Background
|
|
|
By decision 1/CP.16, the COP established a work programme to consider approaches to address loss and damage
associated with climate change impacts in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the
adverse effects of climate change, and requested the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) to agree on
activities to be undertaken under the work programme (decision 1/CP.16,
paragraphs 25-29)
By decision 7/CP.17 (page 5
of the report), the COP agreed on a set of activities to address issues related to the following thematic
areas:
- Thematic area I - Assessing the risk of loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate
change and current knowledge on the same
- Thematic area II - 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
- Thematic area III - The role of the Convention in enhancing the implementation of approaches to address
loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change
At its thirty-sixth session, the SBI requested its Chair to convene an informal presessional meeting of
Parties, in conjunction with its thirty-seventh session, subject to the availability of resources and
conflicts of timing, to exchange further views on the possible recommendations on loss and damage
associated with the adverse effects of climate change (FCCC/SBI/2012/15,
paragraph 155).
