Abstract
Loss and damage associated with climate change has gained increasing importance in international
climate change negotiations, research, and policy making in recent years. It is a significant
consequence of inadequate action from the international community on delivering climate action.
Loss and damage is already happening in developing countries like Nepal and it is important to
understand how this can be assessed and addressed at national and sub-national level. This study
examines how the issue of loss and damage is evolving in international policy and in Nepal. Most
importantly, by reviewing the existing risk and impact assessment tools and proposing how these
can be strengthened, it aids the national policy process in understanding how loss and damage will
impact communities and nature.
