Resumen

This paper addresses the lack of an official definition to describe loss and damage (L&D) caused by climate change. This investigation takes into account the evolving landscape of the international climate regime, marked by a transition to a new era of multi-level, multi-actor and multi-sector climate governance. With the integration of nonstate actors and the emergence of a “hybrid multilateralism” regime, we conduct an analysis of the term in the climate negotiations of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) across NGO positions. We identify different perspectives, with the subsequent aim of drawing conclusions about similarities and differences, in order to understand the causes and implications for the implementation of an operational fund to address loss and damage. Research questions: What is the position of NGOs in the different discursive approaches to Loss and Damage? What are the implications for the implementation of an operational fund?
