As a key issue for COP27, with climate impacts proliferating around the world and affecting the most vulnerable, the integration of the Loss&Damage policy domain into broader climate policy requires further attention. The brief lays out a framework that shows how gaps with regard to adaptation, protection and response need further attention and can be integrated into a climate policy framework for reducing, addressing and responding to losses and damages. When attending to gaps, attention is to be spent on scaling up response mechanisms and interventions that have proven to be effective, are locally led, and meet the specific needs of the communities they support.

Floods are a pressing environmental hazard, causing loss of lives, economic losses, and livelihood impacts around the globe. Recent flood events, such as the devastating floods that hit several European countries including Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands in July 2021, have revealed significant gaps in flood risk understanding, awareness, and communication, as well as in flood resilience. As climate change continues to spiral, the risk of disastrous floods is increasing across the globe.
