Background

COP 26 established the Glasgow Dialogue between Parties, relevant organizations and stakeholders to discuss the arrangements for the funding of activities to avert, minimize and address loss and damage associated with the adverse impacts of climate change. 

The Glasgow Dialogue will take place in the first sessional period of each year of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI), starting at its 56^th session and concluding at its 60^th session (June 2024). The SBI was requested to organize the Glasgow Dialogue in cooperation with the Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts (WIM ExCom).

Overall approach

The Glasgow Dialogue will be organized to provide Parties and non-party stakeholders opportunities to discuss in an open, inclusive and non-prescriptive manner.

The Glasgow Dialogue will strive to bring together a broad range of stakeholders in a pragmatic discussion on the arrangements for the funding of activities to avert, minimize and address loss and damage, giving visibility to the frontline communities and those most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.

The 1^st Glasgow Dialogue will focus on implementation of approaches for averting, minimizing, and addressing loss and damage associated with climate change impacts,  and how these are or can be funded under and outside the UNFCCC process. The discussions will be structured around guiding questions prepared by the SBI Chair in cooperation with the WIM ExCom, around the five workstreams of the WIM ExCom.

Parties and non-Party stakeholders will be invited to share experiences, good practices, challenges and lessons learned through existing finance to better understand and analyze how support is and can be responsive to the implementation of approaches to avert, minimize and address loss and damage in developing countries.

Presentations and other relevant materials from the workshop will be archived on this event page. No formal report is mandated. The SBI Chair will use the views exchanged during the first Dialogue to guide arrangements for subsequent Dialogues.

The 1^st Glasgow Dialogue will be open to all participants registered for the 56^th sessions of the Subsidiary Bodies.
