The Executive
Committee established an expert group to develop inputs and recommendations to enhance data on and
knowledge of reducing the risk of and addressing non-economic losses, including how to factor these
into the planning and elaboration of measures to address loss and damage associated with the adverse
effects of climate change, at Excom 3 (April 2016).
The work of the Expert Group will contribute to enhancing data on and knowledge of non-economic losses
associated with the adverse effects of climate change and identify ways forward for reducing the risk
of and addressing non-economic losses with specific focus on potential impacts within regions (Action
Area 4 of the initial
two-year workplan of the Executive Committee).
The first meeting of the Expert Group on non-economic losses took place on 15–16 September
2016 in Bonn, Germany, back to back with the fourth meeting of the Executive
Committee.
