Parties have expressed interest in building out more effective implementation of the action and support for loss and damage (L&D). The interest in accelerating action and support for L&D has expressed itself in relation to three issues: 

• The development of the Santiago Network (SN) 
• The governance of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (mandated agenda item) 
• The call to scale up finance to avert, minimize, and address L&D. 

This paper provides context to and poses questions on these issues.
