Discussing study results and recommendations
As urbanisation accelerates, the climate crisis is intensifying, particularly affecting marginalised urban dwellers. Building on recent research on loss and damage in informal settlements, this panel discusses multi-level approaches to effectively avert, minimise, and address loss and damage and to localise funding arrangements. By combining insights from academia, civil society, practitioners and policy makers, this event contributes to understanding and responding to the specific vulnerabilities and needs of urban communities in informal settings and their human rights implications.
