From Risk to Resilience: Addressing Loss and Damage in Europe's Regions
As climate change accelerates , this EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change webinar examines how regions can address Loss and Damage.
Key information
Description
As climate change accelerates, some impacts exceed the limits of mitigation and adaptation, leading to residual economic and non-economic losses and damages that affect people, economies, and ecosystems.
This online event will explore the concept of Loss and Damage, unpacking its scientific, policy, and practical dimensions, and discuss its growing relevance for Europe. It will highlight how European regions and stakeholders can better anticipate and address climate-related losses and damages. Through presentations and discussion, the event aims to foster a shared understanding of Loss and Damage among policymakers, practitioners, and researchers, while showcasing actionable approaches to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience to residual climate impacts.
Speakers will present the latest evidence on the cost of climate impacts across the EU, methodologies to quantify loss and damage, and examples of preparedness and resilience-building measures from across Europe.
