Description

The Santiago Network on loss and damage Advisory Board was operationalized at COP 28 in Dubai, and includes a seat for Indigenous Peoples. The SN focuses on catalysing technical assistance from various organizations, bodies, networks, and experts, including Indigenous Peoples, to support developing countries in averting, minimizing, and addressing loss and damage caused by climate change. In 2023, Gideon Sanago (PINGO) was selected to fill this seat for the IIPFCC, and Andrea Carmen was selected as the alternate. This side event will be carried out in a combined presentation and dialogue format to provide updates and answer questions about the progress made to date after 3 meetings of the SN Advisory Board to provide opportunities for participation by Indigenous Peoples to both provide and request technical assistance to avert, minimize and address loss and damage related to climate change.

Speakers

Gideon Sanago, Andrea Carmen (presenter and facilitator). Both Santiago Network Advisory Board co-chairs, Mr. Alpha Kaloga (Guinea, Africa region) and Mr. Akio Takemoto (Japan, Asia region)
