Addressing Loss and Damage

The report examines how National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) are used by developing countries to identify, communicate, and minimize loss and damage, noting that nearly half of these plans explicitly reference the concept.

• Nearly half of the National Adaptation Plans from developing countries explicitly mention the concept of loss and damage.
• NAPs frequently incorporate disaster risk management and reduction as concrete actions to minimize losses and damages, with 95% of plans mentioning these elements.
• The NAP process is viewed as a fundamental tool for minimizing loss and damage because it provides country-specific analysis, clarifies the link between adaptation and disaster risk management, and outlines specific actions to reduce losses.
