Loss and damage and adaptation: portrait of those left behind in the fight against climate change
The consequences of global warming are already being felt around the world. However, its impacts are disproportionately experienced by the most vulnerable. While mitigation measures to limit global warming are vital, adaptation measures and compensation for loss and damage are equally essential, especially to ensure the resilience of the most affected communities. Join us on this panel to learn more about: Where the climate negotiations stand on the issues of loss and harm; What is maladaptation and its effects on inequalities; The issues underlying these themes for the most vulnerable people in Quebec and elsewhere in the world.
