The policy brief explains the importance of assessing urban loss and damage in both the formal and informal sectors, and of economic and non-economic types to provide a clearer picture of impacts of climate change. It discusses some of the issues and reviews key drivers associated with climate-related loss and damage in urban areas and identifies information and data gaps that need to be taken. It aims to explain that loss and damage processes should be considered alongside urban adaptation and mitigation, in both research initiatives and in guiding policy and regulatory frameworks.
