About this event

English version *** la version française suit***

The unprecedented monsoon rains and flooding affecting Pakistan in 2022 have impacted upwards of 33 million people and claimed an estimated 1,700 lives. Tragically, Pakistan sets a strong example of why loss and damage financing is critical to recovering from adverse climate impacts that outstrip people’s capacity to adapt to climate change.

With loss and damage financing on the negotiating table at COP27, it may end a long history of sidelining the discussion and create a roadmap to address the unfolding climate crisis.

On December 1, join Aga Khan Foundation Canada for a COP27 debrief conversation on the emergence and outcome of loss and damage financing as a critical issue. This panel discussion will feature representatives from the International Development Research Centre and Aga Khan Agency for Habitat on the following key areas:

  • Outcomes of COP27 regarding loss and damage financing
  • Challenges of multi-country partnership on loss and damage financing
  • Canada’s position on loss and damage financing leading in to and post COP27
  • Aga Khan Development Network’s response to flooding in Pakistan and approach on long-term recovery

Key information for attendees:

  1. When you register, please indicate your interest to attend in-person at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat or to attend online (Zoom) by selecting the relevant ticket option.
  2. In-person attendees are welcome to arrive by 9:00am, to network and enjoy light refreshments.

Version française *** The English version precedes ***

Les pluies de mousson et les inondations sans précédent qui ont touché le Pakistan en 2022 ont affecté plus de 33 millions de personnes et ont fait environ 1 700 victimes. Le Pakistan illustre bien la raison pour laquelle le financement des pertes et dommages est essentiel pour se remettre des impacts climatiques négatifs qui dépassent la capacité des populations à s’adapter aux changements climatiques.

En plaçant le financement des pertes et dommages sur la table des négociations de la COP27, on pourrait mettre fin à une longue histoire de mise à l’écart de cet enjeu et créer une feuille de route pour affronter la crise climatique en cours.

Le 1er décembre, joignez-vous à la Fondation Aga Khan Canada dans le cadre d’un bilan de la COP27. La conversation portera sur l’émergence et le résultat du financement des pertes et dommages en tant que question critique. Cette discussion en panel réunira des représentants du Centre de recherches pour le développement international et de l’Agence Aga Khan pour l’habitat, et portera sur les questions clés suivantes :

  • Résultats de la COP27 concernant le financement des pertes et dommages
  • Défis d’un partenariat multipays sur le financement des pertes et dommages
  • Position du Canada quant au financement des pertes et dommages avant et après la COP27
  • Réponse du Réseau Aga Khan de développement aux inondations au Pakistan et approche du rétablissement à long terme

Renseignements importants pour les participants :

  1. Lors de votre inscription, veuillez indiquer si vous souhaitez assister en personne à la Délégation de l’imamat ismaili ou assister en ligne (via Zoom), en sélectionnant l’option de billet correspondante.
  2. Les participants en personne sont invités à arriver à 9 h , afin de réseauter et de profiter de rafraîchissements légers.
