Loss and damage is rapidly gaining prominence in the global climate change arena and is a newly emerging field of research focus. However, the concept behind the idea of residual loss and damage from the impacts of climate change has existed since before the inception of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The overarching aim of this paper is to examine the challenges of addressing loss and damage through national institutional arrangements that integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in Bangladesh.
