This resource presents 12 case studies from diverse locations in the global South experiencing loss and damage from slow- and rapid-onset climate events. Authored by local civil society, experts, university researchers and NGOs from the global South, with the support of expert mentors, each case study provides evidence on the challenges, possible responses and support needed to address loss and damage. The world’s least-resourced communities and countries are increasingly unable to adapt to or absorb worsening climate impacts. Greater international support is overdue, but the realities and costs of loss and damage remain poorly understood and information is not systematically shared.

This resource will aid both stakeholders from climate-vulnerable countries looking for practical solutions and advocates seeking evidence to inform international and national policy discourse. Each case study details the challenges, possible responses and support needed to address loss and damage. Individually, they offer transferable lessons on effective response; taken together, they capture the bigger picture and highlight the universal need for support.
