As global emissions continue to rise at an exponential rate, collective efforts for climate action are inadequate …

As climate change intensifies, countries in the Global South are experiencing disproportionate impacts, particularly in terms of Loss and Damage. These regions, often more vulnerable due to economic and geographical factors, face the growing need for robust mechanisms to address irreversible losses (e.g., to lives, ecosystems) and recoverable damages (e.g., infrastructure, livelihoods).

By anchoring L&D as a distinct component within the NCQG, developing countries can secure finances to respond …

Anthropogenic climate change is causing widespread losses and damages to what people value. To date, non-economic loss and damage assessments are commonly guided by predefined ‘types’ of non-economic losses, similar to those proposed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Instead, we draw from studies conducted in Bangladesh and Fiji to emphasize the benefits of a values-based assessment …

Bangladesh has been striving for years to shift its narrative from being climate vulnerability to resilience. Over the years, it has managed to build itself as one of the climate-resilient countries, despite the geographical vulnerability, through building efficient early warning systems, community-led disaster management, and women’s leadership in resilience efforts. However, communities in Bangladesh continue to face existential crisis due …
