Exploring Non-Economic Impacts of Climate Change through Faith-Based Perspectives

Climate change causes more than economic damage — it threatens identities, traditions, and ways of life, especially for rural and Indigenous communities. These Non-Economic Losses and Damages (NELD) remain poorly defined yet deeply affect vulnerable communities.

The publication shows LWF research into the subject, drawing on diverse voices, including women and youth from various faith traditions and regions. It offers policy recommendations grounded in human rights and faith perspectives to guide global and local climate negotiations and policymaking.
