Abstract This chapter lays out what we take to be themain types of justice and
ethical challenges concerning those adverse effects of climate change leading to
climate-related Loss and Damage (L&D).We argue that it is essential to clearly
differentiatebetweenthechallengesconcerningmitigationandadaptationandthose
ethical issues exclusively relevant for L&D in order to address the ethical aspects
pertaining to L&D in international climate policy. First, we show that depending
on howmitigation and adaptation are distinguished fromL&D, the primary focus
of policymeasures and their ethical implicationswill vary. Second,wedistinguish
between a distributive justice framework and a compensatory justice scheme for
deliveringL&Dmeasures.Third, inorder tounderstand thedifferentiated remedial
responsibilitiesconcerningL&D,wecategorise themeasuresandpolicyapproaches
available. Fourth, dependingon thekindofL&Dandwhich remedies arepossible,
weexplainthedifferencebetweenremedialandoutcomeresponsibilitiesofdifferent
