During the negotiations in 2015 that led to the adoption of the
Paris Agreement, one of the most contentious issues was the
introduction of a dedicated provision in Article 8 on what is known
as 'loss and damage'. The adoption of this new article, however,
left many questions unanswered. What is the distinction between
'loss and damage', and 'adaptation'? What are the legal
implications of the inclusion of loss and damage as an article in a
legal treaty? How can financial assistance and compensation best be
channelled to victims of climate change loss and damage? What gaps
remain in the loss and damage governance system? The Third Pillar
of International Climate Change Policy: On 'Loss and Damage' after
the Paris Agreement addresses these questions, and numerous others,
and explores the present and future of loss and damage in the era
of the Paris Agreement. This book provides an up-to-date analysis
of 'loss and damage' which is often described as the third pillar
of international climate change policy. It is based around four
main themes: (i) insurance schemes, (ii) key gaps in loss and
damage governance, including non-economic loss and damage and
slow-onset events, (iii) legal aspects of loss and damage, and (iv)
novel approaches to loss and damage. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Climate Policy.
