NEW: Policy analysis of the justice implications of international loss and damage financing mechanisms

[Stacy-ann Robinson]

Dear colleagues,

As COP27 approaches, I wanted to bring your attention to this new open access policy analysis: Climate justice for small island developing states: identifying appropriate international financing mechanisms for loss and damage.

My co-authors and I weigh five options that scholars have argued should be urgently considered by the WIM Executive Committee.

We find that, of the five options and from a climate justice perspective, levies on airline travel and fossil fuel extraction most appropriately account for the special circumstances of small island developing states.

Please feel free to on-share with other colleagues that may be interested in this work.

Regards,

Dr Stacy-ann Robinson
