In this episode of A Common Concern, Kate Cook speaks to Dr Patrick Toussaint of African Futures Lab about the international legal response to climate related loss and damage. Kate and Patrick discuss the climate regime's Loss and Damage Fund and Warsaw International Mechanism, climate reparations and their connection to racial and postcolonial justice and the implications of the ICJ's Advisory Opinion on state responsibility. One common theme throughout their discussion is the gross mismatch between what is needed and what is currently available to address catastrophic impacts that are already occurring.

A Common Concern: The Climate Justice Podcast - Climate Displacement and the Law: Legal Limits, Barriers and Solutions
Climate related displacement is already occurring and likely to increase significantly in the next few decades. In this episode of A Common Concern: the Climate Justice Podcast, Kate Cook is joined by Alex Randall, founder of the Climate and Migration Coalition and by Raza Husain KC and Sam Knights KC from Matrix to discuss current legal protections under international refugee, climate and human rights law and the risk that increasingly large numbers of displaced or vulnerable people will fall through gaps in protection. What can be done to close these gaps?
