WAYS OF REPAIR : LOSS AND DAMAGE | RECOMMENDATIONS TO INFORM LOSS AND DAMAGE POLICY MAKING, RESPONSE, RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY

Following the completion of the inaugural Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage program, two briefs have been prepared to share key lessons learned and to make recommendations.

The first brief provides reflections and recommendations based upon the themes and key issues that have been explored throughout the Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage program across the artistic research residency, public program, Texts of Repair, and symposium. These recommendations are intended to inform Loss and Damage policy making, response, research and advocacy, under and outside negotiations on workstreams under the United Nations framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement, as well as academic and artists' practices.

These reflections and recommendations span considerations across policy making, implementation, coordination and coherence, upholding human rights, decolonisation, participation, ethics and representation, critical thinking and pedagogy. In light of the ongoing work on Loss and Damage under the UNFCCC and its Paris Agreement, these recommendations bear particular importance to the development of policies to inform the work of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage (SNLD) and the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (WIM).
