Edward Page: Addressing future loss and damage associated with climate change
Edward Page, Associate Professor of Political Theory, University of Warwick ABSTRACTClimate change, by damaging the quality of life of populations already suffering from acute vulnerability and hardshi the adoption of measures of mitigation and adaptation and a ‘second-order injustice’ if the associated losses and damages arise as of these measures. Both forms of injustice involve ‘losses and damages’ arising that would not have occurred but for climate change but raise distinct normative problems given their diverging origins. This research seminar explores some key normative puzzles raised by the new ethics and politics of ‘loss and damage’ as it relates to both first-order and second-order climate change injustice. In particular, the lecture focuses on which normative principles should guide measures seeking to address first-order and second-order climate change injustices experienced by states and how (if at all) new forms of policy can be designed that respect these principles.

Tobuild broader support, advocates should focus on communicating the benefits and effectiveness ofclimate action, rather than merely addressing concerns about economic burdens.
