Yesterday, I joined the #XR #A12 blockade in The Hague and spoke about my research in Bangladesh and how it intensified my frustration with my government's €30.000.000.000 (!) annual spending on fossil subsidies. Here is the final part of that speech (with subtitles!) (1/6)

11/21.  ❤️‍🩹Our Impact: Non-Economic #LossAndDamage 🔥The #ClimateCrisis is causing widespread non-economic #LossAndDamage (#NELD) to biodiversity 🌱, health ♥️, culture 🎭, and more. We connect researchers with #LossAndDamage policy makers and negotiators to help developing

New paper by @GIUB_Research|er @douwevanschie & colleagues: In their paper they question the dichotomy between economic & non-economic loss & damage from climate change and explore interlinkages between the two & implications for policy & research. https://t.co/23uShy4KEu

Our new paper in which we question the dichotomy between economic and non-economic loss and damage has just been published. We explore how the interlinkages between the two and the implications for policy and research. https://t.co/8py64fBh5G

New commentary on the blurred nature of economic and non-economic L&D. Led by @douwevanschie and co-authored by myself, @keesvdgeest , and @SerdecznyOlivia, we show how economic and non-economic L&D are linked, which has important policy implications. https://t.co/boz2Dr8AT6

New paper out by @GIUB_Research|ers @douwevanschie, Inès Bakhtaoui and co-authors on "Addressing non-economic loss and damage: learning from autonomous responses in #Bangladesh" in @ClimaticChange_ ➡️have a look: https://t.co/H0j56Skou0 #openaccess #lossanddamage #climatechange

📢📢This NEW PAPER aims to help with research design for local assessments of #LossAndDamage from #ClimateChange. It's part of an edited book, which unfortunately will only become open access in 12 months. If you want a copy, please email me. https://t.co/IdeyVSenvQ

A recently published co-authored paper led by @douwevanschie in @ClimaticChange: "Addressing non-economic loss and damage: learning from autonomous responses in Bangladesh"! Will be of interest to a wide range of people working on or thinking about NELD https://t.co/oatKR8HkUj

Also, many thanks to all of the great co-authors: @Guy_R_Jackson, Rawnak Jahan Khan Ranon, @AfsaraBinte, @Fahad_2675, @BakhtaouiInes, and @SiMacAnderson

If you have any questions. Please feel free to contact me! Also: a paper loosely related, "Valuing a values-based approach for assessing loss and damage", is open acces for the next few months! https://t.co/6XnID3bsMD

We argue that addressing non-economic loss and damage does not require external agencies to come up with completely new interventions. Instead, we can identify what people are already doing, and build on, support and complement some of these existing responses.

As most of these autonomous responses (to non-economic loss and damage) require financial resources, they can further erode people's livelihoods. Thus, people face loss and damage not only when they are affected by a flood or drought, but also as they rebuild their livelihoods.

highly exposed to increasing climate-related hazards, financially insecure, and with little support from their governments. In these adverse conditions, they still manage to replant forests, uphold religious traditions, or homeschool their children.

Most of these autonomous responses are not 'proper' adaptation responses, i.e. they will not support or protect people's livelihoods in the long term in the face of climate change. This is not to be expected, as the participants are mostly people living in regions that are...

Based on data from two districts in Bangladesh, our assessments uncover (1) how people experience non-economic loss and damage and (2) how they are already, autonomously, responding to this. This is summarised in Table 2

Join us on July 24th to learn how CJRF grant partners in Alaska, Bangladesh, and the Pacific supported communities facing climate-related displacement and migration. We will share key lessons from 7 years of promoting #climatejustice, resilience, and community leadership.

Female students of Dhaka University, protesting for their rights to government jobs based on merit (currently only 44%) and demanding quota reform, have been brutally attacked. A clash has erupted among Chhatra League (student wing of ruling Awami League) and protesters today.
