For the work under the Urban Agenda for the EU, these four categories have been adopted as the main framework and guidelines for classifying content related to climate change and culture in the urban context. The concept was presented again as one of the themes for discussion between the experts at the round table. The expression “loss and damage” is used, with lower case “l” and “d”, to describe the manifestation of climate change impacts which are not or cannot be avoided by adaptation and mitigation efforts (i.e., reducing emissions), whereas “Loss and Damage,” with capital “L” and “D”, is used to describe policies and plans that are used to address loss and damage, such as those that are negotiated at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). 2 The database is available on the Fondazione’s website: < https://www.fondazionescuolapatrimonio. it/innovazione-e-sperimentazione/the-culture-cultural-heritage-and-climate-change-knowledgebase/ > accessed 25 October 2022.
