This book provides an authoritative insight on the Loss and Damage
discourse by highlighting state-of-the-art research and policy
linked to this discourse and articulating its multiple concepts,
principles and methods. Written by leading researchers and
practitioners, it identifies practical and evidence-based policy
options to inform the discourse and climate negotiations. With
climate-related risks on the rise and impacts being felt around the
globe has come the recognition that climate mitigation and
adaptation may not be enough to manage the effects from
anthropogenic climate change. This recognition led to the creation
of the Warsaw International Mechanism on Loss and Damage in 2013, a
climate policy mechanism dedicated to dealing with climate-related
effects in highly vulnerable countries that face severe constraints
and limits to adaptation. Endorsed in 2015 by the Paris Agreement
and effectively considered a third pillar of international climate
policy, debate and research on Loss and Damage continues to gain
enormous traction. Yet, concepts, methods and tools as well as
directions for policy and implementation have remained contested
and vague. Suitable for researchers, policy-advisors, practitioners
and the interested public, the book furthermore: * discusses the
political, legal, economic and institutional dimensions of the
issue* highlights normative questions central to the discourse *
provides a focus on climate risks and climate risk management. *
presents salient case studies from around the world.
