“…Almost half of all studies focused on L&D that has already occurred, meaning that there are already on‐the‐ground impacts from climate hazards. Commonly, the empirical L&D studies demonstrated this, such as the nine Global South case studies published in the International Journal of Global Warming (2013) special issue (Bauer, ; Brida, Owiyo, & Sokona, ; Haile, Kusters, & Wagesho, ; Kusters & Wangdi, ; Monnereau & Abraham, ; Opondo, ; Rabbani et al, ; Traore & Owiyo, ; Warner & van der Geest, ; Yaffa, ), among others case studies (e.g., Beckman & Nguyen, ; Gawith, Daigneault, & Brown, ; Lashley & Warner, ; van der Geest & Schindler, ). Studies reported on household and community level residual impacts from both sudden‐ and slow‐onset climate hazards.…”

Loss and damage: A review of the literature and directions for future research

Climate change researchers argue that a residual domain exists beyond the limits of adaptation to prevent deleterious climate change impacts: this has been labeled as "loss and damage." Over the last 8 years, there has been significant growth in loss and damage scholarship thus making it imperative to take stock of what we know already and directions for future research. We undertook a quantitative review of academic publications (n = 122) in the loss and damage field to date and documented study characteristics, thematic areas, trends, gaps, and opportunities. The first publication appeared in 2010 before a significant increase in published research after 2013. Although increasingly diverse over time, loss and damage studies have primarily focused on technical, political, and normative questions. Our analysis suggests the following: that researchers predominately conceptualize loss and damage as "limits to adaptation"; that the literature is more practical (i.e., descriptive, does not challenge underlying presuppositions) than critical (i.e., challenges underlying presuppositions) in orientation; that loss and damage is conceived as both an occurring and future condition; and that economic dimensions of loss and damage are prioritized in studies. Recommended future research directions include empirical and theoretical explorations of the potential for transformational change; understanding what people value and how they can engage with loss and grief; ensuring the perspectives of the most vulnerable groups are included in decision-making; and greater policy-relevant research and critical analyses of loss and damage conceptualizations and the Warsaw International Mechanism.

“…Conversely, financing mechanisms and resources mobilized for adaptation are not necessarily earmarked as such, and it is even highly possible that so-called adaptation finance represents only a portion of the actions that can be considered as adaptation action. In practice, adaptation goals (and practices) are intertwined with other goals and practices (such as infrastructure development, livelihoods improvement, and reducing risk related to climate hazards for instance), and this will blur the translation from adaptation finance to actual adaptation actions [9][10][11]. In the end, monitoring, reporting, and verifying the alignment of adaptation funding with the necessary protection against uncertain future climate trends is crucial.…”

The Three Dialectics of Adaptation Finance in Vietnam

The goal of this paper is to analyze the complex institutional landscape of adaptation finance in Vietnam, a middle-income country highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change. While resources from international organizations and national authorities occupy a prominent position in adaptation funding, the use of local resources that directly or indirectly support adaptation practices is also an important factor to consider. We hypothesize that it is that interplay between official climate change finance on the one hand and local social dynamics on the other hand that shapes the structure of adaptation funding. These very particular financing circuits consequently determine the kind of adaptation actions that are actually implemented. The paper unfolds the adaptation finance flows at all scales by using qualitative field studies, technical and legal reports, and a wide-ranging literature on adaptation project financing, and thus identifies three types of dialectical tensions that might hinder Vietnamese institutional readiness for adaptation finance: the adaptation/development financing nexus, the adaptation/reaction financing behaviors, and the endogenous/exogenous financing dichotomy. Ultimately, the paper derives from these dialectical tensions within the architecture and functioning of adaptation finance key takeaway messages for a prospective analysis of adaptation funding that better informs adaptation finance policies.

“…Apart from changing the mean atmospheric composition due to growing greenhouse gases, the NRC report says that landscape variations could have significant local, regional, and global impacts (Paul et al 2010). LUC is already recognized as a major driver of global climate change (Lambin and Meyfroidt 2011;Foley et al 2015;Hendrix 2017;Beckman and Thi Nguyen 2017). A climate analysis in the USA shows that a significant proportion of the increases in temperature in the last few decades have resulted from changes in land use (Kalnay and Cai 2003).…”
