Loss & Damage Webinar Series
Communities around the world are already experiencing the impacts of climate change through Loss and Damage (L&D). Beyond economic losses, these impacts include the degradation of biodiversity, ecosystem services, cultural heritage and identity—dimensions that remain largely overlooked in most climate and disaster assessments.
This gap limits countries’ ability to plan effective, equitable and nature-responsive recovery, particularly for communities whose livelihoods, well-being and identities are deeply connected to ecosystems.
To address this challenge, the Friends of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (FEBA) and the PEDRR Loss and Damage Working Group are hosting a global webinar series bringing together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, UN agencies and civil society actors.
Objectives
The webinar series aims to:
- Strengthen understanding of biodiversity- and ecosystem-related Loss and Damage, grounded in frontline evidence and improved data
- Promote Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) as approaches to avoid and minimise ecological losses
- Advocate for technical and financial support to address non-economic losses linked to ecosystems, culture and identity
