Loss and Damage in the Paris Agreement鈥檚 Transparency Framework

19 June 2019

This Policy Brief sheds light on a number of central aspects associated with national-level reporting of information related to loss and damage under the Paris Agreement's Transparency Framework.

Drought

The 2015 Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) introduces a 鈥榯ransparency framework鈥, to promote accountability in the implementation of the Agreement. A set of 鈥渕odalities, procedures and guidelines鈥, agreed upon in 2018, sketch how to put the transparency framework into practical operation. These 鈥渕odalities, procedures and guidelines鈥 include a voluntary provision to report information related to loss and damage (that is, the impacts of climate change to which the world cannot adapt). However, guidance is not yet available as to the specific information a country may want to report, or the types of evidence that could underpin the reporting.

Drawing on scientific journal articles and technical reports, this brief聽offers suggestions on the types of information a country may want to report, and the data that can be used to evidence claims made about loss and damage. Although these suggestions are no replacement for official guidance, they shed light on a number of central aspects associated with national-level reporting of information related to loss and damage. The聽paper will be particularly useful to developing country stakeholders who are responsible for reporting under the 鈥榯ransparency framework鈥.聽
