It will also discuss its implications for the economies of climate vulnerable nations and International Geneva in areas such as development, human rights, migration, and trade. Beyond presenting the results of the report, the event will seek to unpack what those results imply for climate vulnerable economies across the world and propose pathways to address economic loss and damage, including through innovative financing mechanisms.\nWelcome\nDr. Carolyn Deere Birkbeck, Director, Forum on Trade, Environment and the SDGs\nKeynote Statement\nH.E.
