Background

The session sought to equip all interested stakeholders with a deeper understanding of loss and damage associated with climate change. It explored policy frameworks, community resilience, and the role of youth in advocating for equitable solutions with a special focus on the progress of L&D since COP 28 regarding the Loss & Damage Fund, the Santiago Network on Loss & Damage, and the Warsaw International Mechanism. The session elaborated on how to leverage these outcomes to address L&D during the ongoing process of updating countries' NDCs in order to align them with “keeping 1.5 alive” and the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

The Loss and Damage Youth Coalition is a coalition of youths from the global North and South who have come together to demand action on addressing the Loss and Damage caused by climate change. It is made up of 1000+ youths in more than 100 countries.

YOUNGO consists of many youth-led organizations, groups, delegations, and individuals working in climate change-related fields. YOUNGO is organized in different Working Groups that focus on different aspects of the UNFCCC negotiations and beyond, and work to ensure that perspectives of young and future generations are taken into account in the international decision-making processes. Besides that, YOUNGO members observe and report on climate negotiations and the implications of their outcomes.
