Loss and Damage (L&D) finance had historic outcomes at the most recent UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) convening (COP28); however, work still needs to be completed before developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change can have access to critical funding.
In this webinar, which comes in the lead up to the World Bank Spring Meetings, we will offer an overview of the outcomes on L&D funding from COP28 and what lies ahead in 2024. Through expert-led discussions, this webinar will inform participants of the critical aspects pertaining to L&D finance. Participants will gain an understanding of the outcomes from COP28, implications of the COP28 decision, what lies ahead for the L&D Fund in 2024, and how success will be defined on L&D finance in 2024.
Join us for a unique opportunity to hear from key experts and stakeholders in the lead up to the World Bank Spring Meetings.
This webinar is designed for policymakers, finance professionals, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders involved in the UNFCCC L&D efforts.
Explore our recent publication, “Loss and Damage at COP28 and the Way Forward for 2024,” as background context for this event.
