Saleemul Huq writes in an article for the CDKN website on what Bangladesh has gained from efforts over the last year to understand and advance the loss and damage agenda. He writes: “When residents in the coastal district of Satkira in Bangladesh were asked a decade ago, only 2% said increased saline levels caused by sea level rise were having an adverse effect on crop yields, livelihoods and their health. Today, over 80% say they are affected…How do we deal with the inevitable and unavoidable losses and damages that will occur even if the best efforts at both mitigation and adaptation are achieved?”
