Climate change will lead to more severe extreme weather events. While states of the Global North, have traditionally contributed GHG-emissions climate change, countries South suffer most from climate-related losses. How these unequal costs should be distributed within international community has been a topic at UN conferences for 30 years. At COP 27 in Sharm-el-Sheikh 2022 parties finally agreed on an fund address induced loss and damage. Yet, many questions, instance which country pays how much money gets spent, remain clarified. For sustainable long run, public approval democratically governed donor is essential. We, thus, conducted representative choice experimental evidence different financing characteristics such damage Austria. Our results indicate that new likely accepted, if financial contributions are not just independent but based responsibility principles, support or disaster relief payments, monthly up 30€ per capita. On other hand, donation-based schemes used compensation with 40€ rejected.

Abstract People in the Majority World disproportionately experience Loss and Damage (L&D) related to climate change. Policymakers researchers are exploring ways address L&D. However, significant knowledge gaps remain, including how what has been termed Non-Economic (NELD). We contribute filling this gap by analysing NELD people experiencing autonomous responses these impacts. This study took place two regions of Bangladesh: southwestern Shyamnagar Upazila northcentral Durgapur Upazila. find that autonomously formulate various from different climate-related hazards (e.g., droughts, floods, heatwaves). In doing so, rely on factors, such as financial assets social relationships, respond NELD. because marginalised groups individuals have little capacity respond, they forced adopt certain further erode their well-being. Moving forward, interventions responding can identify, build on, support complement some existing responses. argue strengthening affected will better enable non-erosive

Climate financing is one of key mechanisms used enable remain resilient hastening effects change. In this paper, we empirically assess effect institutional governance indicators on amount finance received by 21 nations for which progress towards internationally agreed-upon target reducing global warming 1.5 °C tracked. We use fixed-effects ordinary least squares (OLS) feasible generalized (FGLS) estimators, drawing Action Tracker panel data from 2002 2020. Empirical results reveal perceived political stability significantly enhanced inflows among strongly increased their NDC targets, while deterioration in corruption control negatively impacted same group countries.

Abstract Almost 25 years ago, sociologist Anthony Giddens wrote that ‘risk and responsibility are in fact closely linked’ 1 . Extending this to climate risk, perspective paper argues risk assessment is not just a scientific endeavour but also deeply political. As risks become more complex demand science- policy-driven integration across sectors regions, assessments may involve significant political constraints impede effective adaptation. Using framework of challenges, uncovers arise developing integrated assessment. It the framing structuring yield such as biases towards certain groups, sectoral incoherence, decisions aiding most exposed, distributional conflicts, ambiguous managing risks.
