The side event will explore how knowledge products of the Executive Committee (ExCom) of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (WIM) and its thematic expert groups can be put to work to advance action and support on loss and damage, while drawing on country and community experiences to strengthen future guidance and knowledge products of the WIM ExCom. It will highlight selected products of the Committee that can help countries identify, understand and communicate different dimensions of loss and damage, generate and structure relevant evidence, and support planning, implementation and access to support.

Through country examples, the event will explore how the products of the Committee can be applied in practice, including by countries and organizations supporting them, such as Santiago Network member organizations. Building on the experience of holding the 25th meeting of the WIM ExCom and the 4th annual meeting of its thematic expert groups in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the discussion will also consider how lived experience and country, community and regional expertise can inform the development and use of the Committee's knowledge products.
