“This Handbook can either be used before or after ActionAid’s Resilience Handbook. For communities who have already begun to use the Resilience Handbook, the Loss & Damage Handbook can complement their resilience activities, to assess the climate-induced Loss & Damage they have experienced. Alternatively, for communities who are new to the concept of climate change even as they suffer from climate-induced disasters or slow-onset impacts, this Handbook can be used to facilitate understanding of climate trends, analysis of the Losses & Damages experienced, and encourage resilience-building processes and the use of the Resilience Handbook. (See also section below: “When to use this Handbook?”)”
