Climate change is no longer a distant threat — it is a reality, etched into the everyday experiences of communities across South Asia. While economic losses are more readily quantified, it is the non-economic losses — of identity, culture, health, dignity, and belonging — that often remain unseen, unheard, and underreported. These losses are deeply personal, yet they are shared across vulnerable communities struggling to survive on the frontlines of a changing climate. It is crucial to recognize the impacts of Loss and Damage (L&D) caused by climate change, particularly Non-Economic Loss and Damage (NELD) — the irreversible losses to culture, identity, mental health, and ways of life.
