Loss and damage refers to the observed impacts and projected risks of climate change that go beyond what countries, communities, or ecosystems can adapt to. Averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage is about protecting and strengthening the resilience of communities, livelihoods and ecosystems in the face of climate change, ensuring they are safeguarded for future generations.
Through a systematic review of NAP documents and interviews with key informants, this report showcases the role of NAP processes in minimizing and addressing loss and damage.
It provides insights into how loss and damage information is presented in relation to adaptation efforts and how adaptation priorities identified in NAPs have the potential to respond to loss and damage.
