Has Tropical Storm Sandy in the US raised a new level of international interest about the costs of loss and damage? Sure seems so....

Experts: are regional insurance mechanisms (i.e. Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Facility) a viable way to tackle climate change #lossanddamage?

by JonSward via twitter 11/22/2012 11:56:18 AM
The consequences of greater variability of rainfall conditions – less predictable seasons, more erratic rainfall, unseasonable events or the loss of transitional seasons – have significant repercussions for food security, the livelihoods of millions of people, and the migration decisions of vulnerable households

No geopolitics if you wanna tackle issues of climate change especially when it comes to reducing emission levels..

Welcome to our live CDKN/AlertNet Climate debate on who will pay for the losses and damage resulting from climate change. Let's get the questions flying!

by Laurie Goering @TR_Foundation 11/22/2012 11:59:30 AM
Jon: Indexed insurance like CCRIF uses can help. Regional insurance pools & microinsurance can & should be designed to promote country-driven adaptation

by Koko_Warner 11/22/2012 11:59:36 AM
Are individual govts or international community considering possible scale, implications of climate-related migration? #lossanddamage

by mairidupar via twitter 11/22/2012 11:59:43 AM
@Colin: Regarding politics: Parties have progressed in understanding loss and damage through regional expert meetings, but it is still a long way to go. Doha provides the opportunity to build up a global response through concrete next steps which define the leadership role of the Convention #loss and damage

by Sven Harmeling, Germanwatch 11/22/2012 12:00:28 PM
Mairidupar: Sketchy policy landscape in mng migration.  Migration – seasonal, temporal, and permanent – plays an important part in many families’ struggle to deal with rainfall variability and food & livelihood insecurity.
 Migration was found to have increased in recent decades in a number of the research sites.

by Koko_Warner 11/22/2012 12:01:58 PM
How much money a year do you think we're talking about, globally, to pay for #lossanddamage from climate change?

by Alertnetclimate via twitter 11/22/2012 12:02:04 PM
Can regional funds or insurance mechanisms we created? While the #lossanddamage is local its has region wide implications.

Colin: the SBI WP on L&D is out. you can find it at unfccc.int & analysis of possible Doha
results at www.lossanddamage.net

by Koko_Warner 11/22/2012 12:03:24 PM
How much money? Difficult. Adaptation costs in developing countries are in the tens of billions, residual damage comes on top #lossanddamage

by harmeling via twitter 11/22/2012 12:03:47 PM
almost 100 vulnerable developing countries proposals for elements and objectives of an international mechanism on #lossanddamage

by Meera Ghani via twitter 11/22/2012 12:03:50 PM
Very good point, Meera. Hard to pin damage and losses down to specific cities or regions sometimes....

by Laurie Goering @TR_Foundation 11/22/2012 12:04:22 PM
Its probably inestimable, especially considering the (much higher) loss & damage to non-economic values like culture, health, livelihoods. But look at the figures for the US alone in 2011: estimated 200bn in insured losses alone lost due to weather extremes.

by Koko_Warner 11/22/2012 12:04:25 PM
a question about doha and adaptation fund. chances for a newly estiblished adaptation fund/financial support mechanisms to include migration and relocation issues as a new conception of loss and damage?

by jmgamerorus 11/22/2012 12:04:27 PM
Experts: Will the Green Climate Fund also be used to finance #lossanddamage? Or is a special fund needed? #GCF

by Meera Ghani via twitter 11/22/2012 12:04:43 PM
Agree amounts are difficult to assess, Sven - but what are the figures being bandied around in UNFCCC talks right now?

by Megan Rowling 11/22/2012 12:04:45 PM
Question for the experts: you say climate #lossanddamage is not well understood - are there any decent case studies, research overviews?

I understand that while rich nations are responsible for global warming, they have to pay to fix climate change and help build capacities of the developing nations to mitigate climate change impacts and adapt to these.

by saleemzeal 11/22/2012 12:05:40 PM
With the support of CDKN, UN University is just releasing a new study with empirical findings on loss & damage in vulnerable countries worldwide

by Koko_Warner 11/22/2012 12:05:41 PM
Mairidupur: you can find those new empirical results on loss & damage (the study) at www.lossanddamage.net. and I´ll share some findings in this debate

by Koko_Warner 11/22/2012 12:06:40 PM
With developed countries not cutting emissions as ambitiously as they should impacts on #lossanddamage will be huge, how can they be pushed?

by Meera Ghani via twitter 11/22/2012 12:06:50 PM
Payment for losses and damages from climate change could be in shape of transfer of the technology and scientific know-how from developed to developing countries for climate change mitigation and adaptation. #lossanddamage

by saleemzeal 11/22/2012 12:07:26 PM
@Meera, I think we need to recognise that the long term response to loss and damage need to include scale up of DRR, investment in regional risk pools, better social protection schemes and support to climate-smart recovery, reconstruction - this is focused more on climate extremes

by Tom Mitchell, CKDN 11/22/2012 12:07:53 PM
Experts: What progress are you expecting on #lossanddamage in #Doha? Will the workprogram continue?

by Meera Ghani via twitter 11/22/2012 12:08:14 PM
Thanks @KokoWarner - question 2: Do new UNU findings on #lossanddamage unpack relationship betw this and #migration (especially internal)?

by JonSward via twitter 11/22/2012 12:08:18 PM
@Aimable Twahirwa Yes, please ask your questions

by Julie Mollins 11/22/2012 12:08:26 PM
Aimable: Yes, that's right - ask away!
