Framing an Inclusive Agenda on Loss and Damage in Climate Policy

Abstract

The paper reviews complex discussions on loss and damage (L&D) and conducts an in-depth evaluation of the corresponding scope and award criteria. Specific attention is paid to the origins of L&D negotiations, ranging from the 1991 proposal of an insurance mechanism for climate change impacts to the historic establishment of the Loss and Damage Fund in 2022. The article also outlines the gendered impacts of L&D, highlighting that, as compared to their male counterparts, women are more adversely impacted by climate change. Another key concern identified in this paper is that the Loss and Damage Fund may not be sufficient to cover all losses and damages that follow a climate event. This emphasizes the need for a balanced and transparent disbursement mechanism that would ensure a timely and efficient delivery of support to affected communities.
