COP29: Policy Brief

The science is clear. Climate change has led and continues to lead to widespread adverse impacts and related losses and damages to nature and people that are escalating with every increment of global warming.

Vulnerable communities that have historically contributed the least to climate change are disproportionately affected and are suffering from increasingly frequent and severe impacts of climate hazards. Without rapid and sustained mitigation and accelerated adaptation actions, L&D will continue to increase. This policy brief focuses on the key findings, analysis and recommendations from our upcoming report on Anticipatory Action and Loss and Damage.
