Olivia Serdeczny, Climate Analytics & German Development Institute, Berlin: Non-economic loss and damage in the context of climate change – understanding the challenges

Abstract: Non-economic loss and damage associated with climate change (NELD) has emerged as a concept under the climate negotiations. It refers to the unavoided losses of items that are not traded in the market. Examples include human lives, health, cultural identity and biodiversity. NELD pose various challenges to both research and policy-making, some of which I outline in my presentation.
