held at the UNFCCC SB56, at the World Conference Center in Bonn; in the room “Kaminzimmer” (also online for registered participants and on Youtube)
Co-Organized by ICSC, MCII & V20 Secretariat
About:
The event brings together voices from V20 Governments, civil society and academia to lay out key deliverables needed from COP 27, the G7/G20, WB/IMF and from the Glasgow Dialogue in the space of Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI), climate finance and Loss and Damage. At the event, recent research on historic Losses and Damages in V20 countries as well as on the CDRFI Agenda for 2022 will be presented. In the face of increasing climate change related losses and damages and the staggering financial protection gap, voices from climate vulnerable countries must be amplified more than ever. This event advocates for V20 initiatives seeking strategic partnerships to implement the V20 2025 Vision and V20 Climate Prosperity Plans.
