Compensation for Losses and Damages Caused by Climate Change: Challenges and Progress
摘要
In 1991, the AOSIS (The Association of Small Island Developing States) brought up the idea of getting compensation from developed countries for destruction caused by climate change. But it wasn't until 2007/08 that other developing countries and non-governmental entities really got the ball rolling. At the Sharm Al Sheikh COP meeting, a plan was created to provide money for responding to losses and damages from climate change. There are tons of tough questions that need to be answered, like who should be held accountable and to what extent. We also have to figure out what events are due to climate change and which aren't, plus how to deal with non-economic losses and damage. Financially and budget-wise, there are still a lot of issues to tackle. The article also mentions tools to assess losses, damages, etc., but there are still some kinks to work out, especially when it comes to assigning responsibility and budgets.
