Abstract

The case study at hand which based on Malawi’s major Losses and Damage for Over 5 to 10 years due to cyclones and climate change factors will try to unearth some major Loss and Damage which the country has witnessed over this said period. Firstly, Loss and Damage can roughly be defined as efforts that are made by governments, organizations, and institutions as well as individuals to mitigate, avert, and/or completely bring to an end any possible loss and damage to life and property as a result of the effects of climate change. In most cases, Loss and Damage make people fail to appropriately adapt or control these losses and damage as they come in an abrupt way that no one can assume or dream of their impact on human life and property. Unfortunately, their impact is in most cases permanent and cripples human beings' means of survival. This is what Malawi has witnessed in the 2022/2023 rainy season. Many people have suffered and witnessed massive loss and damage to life and property due to the first-ever harshest cyclone Freddy that swept through Malawi during this year’s rainy season. Other countries that have equally been badly affected by the cyclone are Mozambique, Zambia and the northeastern part of Zimbabwe.
