Learning from adaptation to develop loss and damage monitoring and evaluation systems.

Abstract

Loss and damage is now firmly entrenched in global climate governance, yet there has been relatively little discussion around how to determine whether a loss and damage intervention is successful. We review the conceptual, methodological and political challenges identified within adaptation monitoring, evaluation, reporting and learning (MERL) to draw lessons for responding to loss and damage. Our review concludes by laying out a research and action agenda.
