IIED's video: Addressing loss and damage actions to respond recover and reduce the risk

This online event on 27 July 2022 launched a new report examining the risk of loss and damage and the tools, measures and mechanisms used to address it. Loss and damage is happening now and will only escalate with every increment of global warming. Despite the scale of this gathering crisis, limited action is being taken to address the risks of loss and damage the most vulnerable countries and communities face, who are already being hit by climate shocks with increasing frequency and intensity. In this IIED Debates event, we explored what type of action affected and at-risk countries and communities can take to address loss and damage and how they can mobilise finance to support those actions.
