由于《联合国气候变化框架公约》（《气候公约》）下的谈判未能为气候受害者提供充分的支持，脆弱国家、非政府组织和受影响社区越来越多地探索法律的途径，以获得对损失和损害的追索权。本文通过探讨此类诉讼是否、如何以及如何与《联合国气候变化框架公约》谈判相互作用，为新兴的气候诉讼学术做出贡献。为此，本文通过利益相关者在损失和损害背景下的实践观点，将有关气候法院案件影响的规范性主张置于背景中，并提供了损失和损害相关案件的类型学。适当考虑到气候损害责任和赔偿诉讼仍处于早期阶段这一事实，本报告认为，这一法律的途径为推进《气候公约》关于损失和损害的谈判提供了巨大的潜力，并就如何使这两个领域更紧密地联系起来提出了建议。
With the negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) failing to provide adequate support to climate victims, vulnerable countries, nongovernmental organizations and affected communities are increasingly exploring legal avenues to obtain recourse for loss and damage. This article contributes to the emerging scholarship on climate litigation by exploring whether, how and with what effects such litigation interacts with the UNFCCC negotiations. For this purpose, the article contextualizes normative claims about the influence of climate court cases through practice‐embedded views of stakeholders in the loss and damage context and provides a typology of loss and damage‐related cases. Having due regard to the fact that litigation for liability and compensation of climate harms is still at an early stage, it argues that this legal avenue offers significant potential to advance the UNFCCC negotiations on loss and damage, and provides recommendations on how both spheres can be more strongly interlinked.
