<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The push to address loss and damage as a distinct issue in the Paris Agreement came from the [[Alliance of Small Island States]] and the Least Developed Countries, whose economies and livelihoods are most vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change. The [[Warsaw Mechanism]], established two years earlier during COP19 and set to expire in 2016, categorizes loss and damage as a subset of adaptation, which was unpopular with many countries. It is recognized as a separate pillar of the Paris Agreement. The United States argued against this, possibly worried that classifying the issue as separate from adaptation would create yet another climate finance provision. In the end, the agreement calls for "averting, minimizing, and addressing loss and damage" but specifies that it cannot be used as the basis for liability. The agreement adopts the Warsaw Mechanism, an institution that will attempt to address questions about how to classify, address, and share responsibility for loss.</div>FuzzyBot
