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
|

|

As part of the Cancun Adaptation Framework,
the COP initiated, in 2010, consideration on 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.
Following two years of deliberations on this issue, COP19 (November 2013) established the Warsaw International Mechanism
for Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts, as the main vehicle under the
Convention to promote the implementation of approaches to address loss and damage in a comprehensive,
integrated and coherent manner. (See decision
2/CP.19 for the details).
New!
The Executive Secretary invites Parties to submit nominations for the Executive Committee of the
Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (See the  message to Parties (111 kB) for more details).
The COP20 (December 2014)
adopted the initial 2-year
workplan of the Executive
Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage and finalized the
organization and the governance of the Executive Committee. (See COP20
decision for more details).
