Report of the Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts
CMA 2 established, as part of the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts (WIM), the Santiago network for averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change to catalyse technical assistance for implementing relevant approaches at the local, national and regional level in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. CMA 2 invited relevant organizations, bodies, networks and experts engaged in providing this technical assistance to report on their progress to the WIM Executive Committee and requested the Committee to include relevant information in its annual reports.
