SS1: Comprehensive approaches to reduce loss and damage: Bridging climate action and DRR

This session will focus on addressing the rising impact of climate-related disasters, which are disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities. With economic losses surging and climate risks escalating, the session will explore how DRR strategies can help avert and minimize loss and damage. Participants will discuss the importance of integrating climate action, development and DRR efforts to enhance resilience and reduce the effects of slow-onset events and non-economic losses. The session will also highlight progress in loss and damage mechanisms, including funding arrangements and technical support, and emphasize the need for better data, collaboration and financing. Key outcomes will include demonstrating the impact of DRR on loss reduction, improving access to financial resources, and strengthening collaboration between climate and DRR mechanisms to support vulnerable countries and communities. https://globalplatform.undrr.org/conference-event/ss1-comprehensive-approaches-reduce-loss-and-damage-bridging-climate-action-and
