Support Centre

Our Support Centre provides on demand support on Loss and Damage related workstreams to negotiators from developing countries. The centre was in response to demands from several developing country negotiators, who asked for more support for their work on Loss and Damage and related related topics under the UNFCCC. Support is delivered through bilateral discussions, assistance to draft talking points and interventions and technical support to prepare for, and engage during ExCom meetings and UNFCCC sessions.
