What experiences and examples are you aware of that are being faced by particularly individuals and communities in vulnerable situations (as identified above) that have suffered loss and damage due to the adverse impacts of climate change? (...) This gap is reflected in the availability of data that can be used to inform the NDCs. · There is also a gap in terms of indirect and secondary climate impacts, as well as material and/or immaterial impacts. · It should be noted that these gaps in climate impacts and loss and damage in no way imply that climate impacts or loss and damage are not occurring; on the contrary, a vast number of individuals and communities are already experiencing them. (...) Please provide ideas and concepts on how a new financial facility for loss and damage could provide redress and remedies for individuals and communities in vulnerable situations who have suffered loss and damage due to the adverse impacts of climate change.

(...) But the point has been made that the impacts with a risk of ending in irreversible and permanent loss and damage is great and becoming greater. (...) Future climate impacts and loss and damage will rapidly escalate above 1.5°C • Climate impacts will increase with every tenth of a degree of warming, but limiting warming to 1.5°C will avoid the worst impacts and loss and damage. • Climate change risks are projected to occur earlier than previously thought and some are projected to be multiple times higher than assessed in previous reports. • Overshooting 1.5°C would lead to more severe impacts such as extreme weather, loss of entire ecosystems, and water and food shortages.

(c) Time and duration of the impact i. The timescale of forest damage/disturbance occurrence changes and varies. (...) Gaining information on the time, duration, and extent of disturbing impacts is essential for monitoring impact (e.g. current vs. accumulated damage/disturbance), adjusting managerial responses, and adaptation strategies. iii. (...) Considering a high level of data aggregation in international reporting, it would be useful to prioritize certain types of forest damage/disturbance, in terms of the type of damaging factors or objects affected, to obtain a clearer picture of threats and impacts related to climate change and forest ecosystems.

Loss and damage due to the adverse impacts of climate change are impacting communities across the world. (...) The intersectional impacts of flooding, cyclones and other impacts of climate change occurring in the context of conflict and violence in Mozambique and South Sudan are of serious concern, with each element exacerbating loss and damage. Similarly in the Philippines, Solomon Islands and Zimbabwe , the recurring nature of extreme events, such as cyclones, droughts and floods, and the increasing frequency and intensity of such events, are causing greater impact of loss and damage. Indigenous communities , for example in Brazil , have been particularly vulnerable to flooding, leading to loss and damage.
