Page - x - in Loss and Damage from Climate Change - Concepts, Methods and Policy Options

In addition to providing information on critical climate risks and requisite responses to the public throughout, we are hopeful that the bookmay inform the L&D discourse at a critical time with the review of the Warsaw Mechanism underway and evidence of limits ‘beyond adaptation’ increasing. The network stands ready to further conduct relevant research, provide capacity building aswell as support policy deliberation. We dearly thank all authors for their valuable contributions. In particular, we thank Florentina Simlinger for editorial support and interaction with the L&D Network colleagues. Special thanks go to Fritz Schmuhl of Springer International for all the support and advice during this project.
