Loss and damages is a key topic in international negotiations, but computing the financial claims associated with climate risks is complex. We show that climate-economic impact functions can be used to estimate the size of loss and damages. A fund equalizing climate risks and responsibilities is estimated at 380 USD Billion/yr by 2025, rising over time. We discuss a research agenda that can advance the policy debate.
