I originally started advising the group of Least Developed Countries on the issue of adaptation to climate change, but now that we’re suffering the impacts of climate change we’re no longer simply able to adapt to it. So, more recently, I’ve been advising them on a new and emerging topic – loss and damage from climate change. It’s a highly politically contentious issue – rich countries don’t like talking about it because they feel it will open them up to liability and compensation claims.
