2012年在多哈举行的《联合国气候变化框架公约》缔约方大会第十八届会议决定制定一项关于损失和损害的工作方案。这一方案的一部分是编写一份技术文件，以加强对气候变化造成的非经济损失的普遍了解。下一篇文章仔细研究了这份文件，以发现它是否对非经济损失提供了适当的概念理解。确定了文件对这些损失的概念化的几个缺点。另一种道德框架的方法更适合捕捉更全面的非经济损失被认为是。这一框架最有用的方式是，前瞻性地用于制定更好的适应政策，以避免未来潜在的损失，而不是追溯性地用于量化已经发生的损失，以便提供赔偿。
Abstract A decision was made at the UNFCCC, COP-18 meeting in Doha in 2012 to create a work programme on loss and damage. Part of this programme was to include the production of a technical paper to enhance the general understanding of non-economic losses from climate change. The following article looks carefully at that paper in order to discover whether it provides an adequate conceptual understanding of non-economic losses. Several shortcomings of the paper’s conceptualization of these losses are identified. An alternative ethical framework with methods better suited for capturing a fuller range of non-economic losses is considered. This framework is likely to be most useful if used prospectively for the purpose of devising better adaptation policies to head off potential future losses rather than if used retrospectively for quantifying losses that have already occurred for the purposes of providing compensation.
