Loss and damage from climate change: concepts, methods and policy options
This book provides insights into the loss and damage (L&D) discourse by highlighting state-of-the-art research from multiple disciplines as well as policy contexts related to L&D. It articulates the multiple concepts, principles and methods relevant for L&D, including those that have only recently become available. This volume is aimed at informing research, policy, practice and the interested public. The book: discusses the political, legal, economic and institutional dimensions of L&D, introduces normative and ethical questions central to the discourse, highlights the role of climate risks and climate risk management, presents salient case studies from around the world, identiļ¬es practical and evidence-based policy and implementation options, and thus supports the science-policy dialogue and possible future directions of the L&D discourse, both under and outside the Paris Agreement.
