Call for inputs for the first regular report on loss and damage

Location: Global

Deadline: 28 February 2027, 11:59 PM (GMT+1, CET)

The Santiago Network Secretariat is launching a global call for inputs to support the development of the inaugural regular report on loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change. This call aims to compile existing data, case studies and products on loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change, for compilation in advance of the preparation of the report. 

The call for inputs will remain open until the end of February 2027, ahead of the drafting phase scheduled between April and November 2027. 

Submissions include, but are not limited to: datasets, peer-reviewed articles and research reports, national and subnational policies, project and programme documentation, case studies and first-hand testimonies. While English is preferred to facilitate processing, submissions in other UN languages are also welcome. Submissions in non-text formats are welcome too, to allow contributors to share pictures, oral and video testimonies. As this marks the first edition of the report, these contributions will play a particularly important role in informing global loss and damage policy and action for years to come.

To contribute, please submit your materials through this form.

If you have several materials to share, you can also download this excel template for bulk submissions, compile it and send it back to ldreport@santiago.network.org.

Do not hesitate to contact us for any questions or inquiries.

*Please note that neither the Santiago Network, its Secretariat, nor the selected drafting entity will provide financial compensation for input submissions.

Background: The Santiago Network was established in 2019 under the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (WIM) as a mechanism to catalyze technical assistance from relevant OBNEs to avert, minimize, and address loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change at local, national, and regional levels. This support is intended for developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This call for proposals is managed by UNOPS in its capacity as a co‑host of the Santiago Network Secretariat.
