ExCom #2 - Addressing the Climate Risk Gap

This emission gap directly translates into a climate risk gap resulting in loss and damage for people and ecosystems. This is the backdrop against which the Warsaw International Mechanism's performance needs to be compared.

Developing 2°C-Compatible Investment Criteria

The question arises what kind of institutional set-up would be required to better address this challenge?
