Assessing Climate Change Driven Losses and Damages

National governments face increased difficulties to manage the impacts of climate change that occur despite or in the absence of adaptation action. Loss and damage has become a most prominent issue in climate action.

Assessing Climate Change Driven Losses and Damages provides policymakers and other interested stakeholders with guidance to assess those impacts. This retrospective or prospective assessment can support the efficient and effective management of losses and damages.

Assess damages:
- Define damages driven by climate change;
- Calculate counterfactuals;
- Identify the level of detail and calculate indicators.
Assess losses:
- Frame the assessment;
- Develop national or subnational-level indicators;
- Identify locations;
- Collect data.
