from Reflection 2: Loss and Damage
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 June 2021
This chapter analyses the legal debates surrounding the concept loss and damage from the impacts of climate change. Political and academic arguments have long been made for reparations for actual harm inflicted by climate change. From a legal perspective, a first difficulty is to determine who (if anybody) can be held responsible: States? Political leaders? Multinational corporations? Individual consumers? Other questions regard the form and the quantum of reparation that would be paid, as well as the recipients of it (states? individuals? communities?). A considerable amount of debate has swirled around the topic of loss and damage, but, as with the previous topic of adaptation law, no clear law, or even clear lines of legal debate, have emerged so far.
