Background
Climate action and inaction raises issues of equity and justice both between and within nations and generations. The adverse impacts of climate change disproportionately affect vulnerable groups whose contribution to the problem is minimal, yet less equipped to rebound and buffer from climatic stress, benefit the least from climate actions and endure the most of social costs.1
The rising toll of loss and damage due to climate change highlights an urgent need for enhanced disaster preparedness and response, particularly for vulnerable communities. Despite this pressing necessity, the best mechanisms for implementing climate justice remain a topic of ongoing debate. This conference aims to explore these recent debates from an interdisciplinary perspective. The key feature of the workshop will be a discussion of climate insurance mechanisms within the context of the index-based livestock insurance (IBLI).
