Website: www.unescwa.org. 2400662Eiii Preface This study was jointly prepared by the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). It adapts the “damage and loss assessment” methodology developed by ECLAC to estimate potential future economic impacts of disasters, including those linked to extreme weather events and climate change. The report presents a potential methodology to estimate loss and damage from slow-onset events, such as sea level rise, using a case study of the Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria, Egypt. The findings are illustrative and aim to inform future assessments. The results presented have not been validated by the Government of Egypt.iv v Acknowledgements The present report was produced by ESCWA and ECLAC, under the overall guidance of the Executive Secretaries,
