Yarning for Resilient: Amplifying solutions for Non-Economic Loss and Damage in Oceania (YES-NELD)

What happens when climate change takes what money can’t measure? Lost burial grounds, fading languages, broken ties to land and sea. Non-economic loss and damage (NELD) is real and deeply felt across Oceania, yet it barely shows up in loss-and-damage accounting. If it isn’t counted, it isn’t funded. Join us around the kava bowl as government representatives, Indigenous leaders, youth and researchers come together to yarn and talanoa. We’ll launch the NELD Whitepaper from the Yarning for Resilient and Healthy Communities in Oceania (YES) Project, with case studies, new frameworks for capturing NELD, and practical recommendations for action, now and beyond 1.5°C. Come for the kava, stay for the solutions.
