Loss and Damage from Climate Change, 1st ed. 2019 Concepts, Methods and Policy Options Climate Risk Management, Policy and Governance Series

Langue : Anglais
Couverture de l’ouvrage Loss and Damage from Climate Change

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.
