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

The COP established a work programme in order 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, as part of the Cancun Adaptation Framework (decision
1/CP.16, paragraphs 25-29). Addressing loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of
climate change requires comprehensive, inclusive and strategic responses and the Parties agree that the
Convention has the important and fundamental role to enable coherent and synergistic approaches.

Considering the outcomes of the implementation of the work programme prior to SBI 37 (November 2012),
the COP at the Doha Climate Change Conference (COP18, 2012) acknowledged the further work to advance
the understanding of and expertise on loss and damage, and decided to establish, at COP19,
institutional arrangements, including functions and modalities, elaborated in accordance with the role
of the Convention as defined in decision 3/CP.18, paragraph 5, to address loss and damage associated
with the impacts of climate change in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the
adverse effects of climate change.
In the upcoming session (June 2013) Parties will elaborate activities to further the understanding of
and expertise on loss and damage, and initiate work towards the establishment of institutional
arrangements.
