Background
Strategic workstream (c) of the five-year workplan of the Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (WIM Excom) is to enhance cooperation and facilitation in relation to comprehensive risk management (CRM) approaches (including assessment, reduction, transfer and retention). The TEG-CRM developed a Plan of Action (PoA) at its first meeting (August 2019), which was subsequently endorsed by the ExCom at its 10th meeting (October 2019).
At the second meeting of the TEG-CRM (July 2020) leads and co-leads of activities shared updates on the implementation status to assess the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on ongoing or planned actions. Preceding ExCom 12 (October 2020), the members provided an additional round of updates that demonstrate progress and advancement in the implementation of activities in spite of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
