Centre for Climate Science and Policy Research (CSPR), Linköping University
|
Together with The University of Fiji, CSPR contributes to the knowledge of how the lived experience and strife for ontological (including the combined physical and biographical) security in climate risk expose communities in Pacific Island States to vulnerabilities. In the co-creation processes, CSPR develops strategies for handling geopolitical and human security risks and for developing strategies for societal transformations towards enhanced resilience at the local, domestic and international levels.
CSPR has also worked with capacity building, most recently in a pre-COP27 workshop in collaboration with the Fijian Ministry of iTaukei Affairs and Pacific Islands Development Forum on “Loss and Damage and the Climate Negotiations” in Suva, with representatives from exposed villages around Fiji, as well as representatives from agencies, industry, and non-governmental organizations.

Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS)
|
LUCSUS has a long-standing expertise related to loss and damage and non-economic losses (particularly in Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, France including overseas territories, Sweden and the United States). For example:
Fundamental research on the conceptualization, measurement, and potential ways to address losses and damages, more on the science of the loss spectrum than the political debate.
Empirical studies on What are non-economic losses in tropical fishery (case study): how it is valued by communities, what are non-climatic drivers of non-economic losses, and structural influence of perceptions on non-economic losses.
Empirical research on loss and damage in Southeast Asia (Cambodia). The research is interdisciplinary and focuses on experiences of loss and damage emerging from climate change impacts in the contexts of agrarian change, specifically how extreme weather events interact with struggles around land and the implications for agrarian climate justice.

The University of Queensland (UQ)
|
For several years, the work of the UQ has explored in-depth people’s perspectives and experiences of non-economic loss and damage (NELD) throughout Oceania. In doing so, UQ has built an extensive body of knowledge on what NELD is and how it manifests, as well as careful identification of how people can address and work through climate-induced NELD now and in the future.

UWI Mona conducts ethnobotany and ethnobiology research on local knowledge systems in Jamaica and the Caribbean island region. These Afrodescendant knowledge systems remain undervalued in academia and government, and under-recorded, in spite of their relevance for the well-being of individuals, communities, and the Caribbean island region, and their relationship to biodiversity and cultural heritage.
