In the longer-term, the effects will increasingly depend on the extent to which transformational action is taken now to reduce emissions and avoid the breaching of dangerous temperature thresholds and potential irreversible tipping points. In addition to mitigation and adaptation, countries are now committed to financing action on loss and damage. Loss and damage are widely understood to refer to economic and noneconomic climate impacts that countries are not equipped to adapt to, nor absorb, resulting in inevitable and permanent harm.
