Recommendations

       Following the completion of the inaugural Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage program, two briefs have been prepared to share key lessons learned and to make recommendations. 

‍
         The first brief provides reflections and recommendations based upon the themes and key issues that have been explored throughout the Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage program across the artistic research residency, public program, Texts of Repair, and symposium. These recommendations are intended to inform Loss and Damage policy making, response, research and advocacy, under and outside negotiations on workstreams under the United Nations framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement, as well as academic and artists' practices.

       These reflections and recommendations span considerations across policy making, implementation, coordination and coherence, upholding human rights, decolonisation, participation, ethics and representation, critical thinking and pedagogy. In light of the ongoing work on Loss and Damage under the UNFCCC and its Paris Agreement, these recommendations bear particular importance to the development of policies to inform the work of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage (SNLD) and the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (WIM).

         The second brief provides reflections and recommendations based upon the coordinators experiences of running of the Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage program, as well as feedback shared by program participants, that are intended to aid those seeking to foster transdisciplinary conversations and collaboration on the issue of loss and damage. These reflections and recommendations span considerations across coordination and operations, ethics and representation, critical thinking and pedagogical engagement of a diverse range of actors. This brief also provides recommendations for scaling up transdisciplinary work on Loss and Damage, including in the context of the FRLD, the SNLD and the WIM.

       In addition to the artists research program Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage will commission critical thinkers from the arts and humanities to explore different perspectives, aesthetic explorations, knowledges and lived experiences of the climate crisis in relation to Loss and Damage. The commissioned texts are intended to provide conceptual frameworks and critical links between the Loss and Damage discourse and themes already being widely explored within the arts and humanities in response to the combined climate, human rights, and environmental crisis, and the drive towards decolonization.

       Please signup to our mailing list for updates on how to attend, the theme of the workshop, and what speakers will be present.
