Human Mobility, Displacement and Loss and Damage

Loss and Damage, Human Mobility and Displacement

Convened by the Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC), the "Loss and Damage and the Challenges Of Human Mobility and Displacement Working Group" looks at Displacement and Human Mobility in the context of Loss and Damage workstreams under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) including the Loss and Damage Fund, Santiago Network, the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage and the expert groups of its Executive Committee (ExCom).

To find out more about the working group please contact: teo[@]lossanddamagecollaboration.org ‍(L&DC) and/or lorenzog[@]unops.org of the Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD).

In 2024, the working group began to collaborate with the "Advisory Group on Climate Change and Human Mobility" to host joint calls, share resources with the aim of better coordination and reducing duplication. The Advisory Group is coordinated by Alice Baillat of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) who can be contacted at alice.baillat [@] idmc.ch.
