Climate change affects livelihoods, lives, societies, and natural ecosystems in ways that exceed the limits of adaptation and overwhelm the coping capacities of vulnerable communities, groups, and countries. Treating loss & damage (L&D) as the third pillar of the Paris Agreement besides mitigation and adaptation is a key challenge for COP27 and beyond. It is important that all stakeholders push for enhanced recognition of L&D in negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and commitments for tangible support including in the form of new and additional funding for L&D, technical assistance, knowledge-sharing, and technology transfer.
