Action Area 3 of the initial two-year workplan of the Executive Committee:

Enhance data on and knowledge of the risks of slow onset events and their impacts, and identify ways forward on approaches to address slow onset events associated with the adverse effects of climate change with specific focus on potential impacts, within countries and regions

In the context of this Action Area, the Executive Committee took stock of organizations that are working on slow onset events and the scope of their current efforts. The database is being updated on a rolling basis.

A user-friendly synopsis of the mapping, as of December 2015, is available here>>

In order to further develop and strengthen the database of organizations working on slow onset events and the scope of their current efforts, the Executive Committee invites relevant organizations to complete this template>>

To add a new organization to the database; or
To submit new, additional, updated information to an organization already included in the database.

Please submit completed templates to loss-damage(at)unfccc.int.

The Executive Committee invites relevant organizations and experts to collaborate with the Executive Committee to facilitate access to information, including through collaborative channels or databases, and technologies to track the impacts, and enable approaches to address loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change, including slow onset events.
