Building on the thematic areas of the cooperation and facilitation under the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage, vulnerable developing countries would be able to request technical assistance for relevant approaches for averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage.
Approaches to cooperation, facilitation and implementation of relevant approaches for averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage can take into account:
- Current impacts as well as short-, medium- and long-term risks of climate change
