Abstract

As loss and damage from climate change continue to mount, there are growing calls from affected communities for both more aggressive climate action and compensation from the historically highest emitting countries that have largely caused the crisis. There is an expanding body of research exploring multiple dimensions of climate reparations. However, in Australia there has so far been limited scholarly, policy, or legal debate regarding the specific responsibilities of governments, organisations, and corporations in addressing the escalating damage to the climate system. This article seeks to develop key themes and questions for a broader research agenda on climate reparations in Australia.
