损失和损害（L&D）是几十年来国际气候政策中有争议的辩论主题。最近，已经建立了关于L&D的正式机制，但可以说是通过不明确的语言。这种模糊性在政治上很重要，但研究人员和实践者需要更清晰地理解L&D。在这里，我们报告的第一个深入的实证研究的演员的角度，包括采访了38个关键利益相关者在研究，实践和政策。我们发现的协议点，也是重要的区别：L&D和适应之间的关系，重点是避免与解决L&D，人为气候变化的相关性，以及正义的作用。确定了四个视角的类型学，对研究重点和解决L&D的行动有不同的影响。这种类型有助于更好地理解现有的观点，因此有可能促进对处理L&D问题的备选方案进行更透明的讨论。
Loss and Damage (L&D) has been the subject of contentious debate in international climate policy for several decades. Recently, formal mechanisms on L&D have been established, but arguably through unclear language. This ambiguity is politically important, but researchers and practitioners require clearer understandings of L&D. Here we report on the first in-depth empirical study of actor perspectives, including interviews with 38 key stakeholders in research, practice, and policy. We find points of agreement and also important distinctions in terms of: the relationship between L&D and adaptation, the emphasis on avoiding versus addressing L&D, the relevance of anthropogenic climate change, and the role of justice. A typology of four perspectives is identified, with different implications for research priorities and actions to address L&D. This typology enables improved understanding of existing perspectives and so has potential to facilitate more transparent discussion of the options available to address L&D.
