17. Perspectives on Loss and Damage Boyd, James and Jones, 2016

18. Suggestion for Loss & Damage space Combining perspectives on risk, limits to adaptation, and existential impacts Ex-ante support for physically and socially intolerable climate-related damage as well as ex-post finance for loss.

28. Risk space: Action by the DRR community Repair and rebuild: 87% Prevent: 13% Kellet and Caravani, 2013 Disaster–related financing 1991-2010

29. Risk space: examples Climate Risk Management Climate insurance InsuResilience

30. Funding perspective: What and how to support coping with L&D risk? Regional and national level: Risk pooling and financing - Sovereign insurance and regional pools:  Caribbean, Pacific, Africa Linking to disaster risk reduction National to community level: Public-private partnerships for comprehensive risk reduction: National funds to bolster community-level risk management partnerships – Flood Resilience Alliance & Measuring resilience (Peru)

31. Examples: Measures for irreversible loss Relocation Migration Displacement Facility IPCC, SYR, 2014: Without additional mitigation efforts beyond those in place today, and even with adaptation, warming by the end of the 21st century will lead to high to very high risk of severe, wide-spread and irreversible impacts globally (high confidence).

33. Overall Other options including financing

34. 5 Discussion and conclusions L&D space aligns need for action on climate risk management with a concern for measures for irreversible loss Global implication: Funding requirements National to local implication: allocation opportunities based on capacity and needs
