Through its three workshops and symposium Ways of Repair: Loss and Damage will explore numerous issues related to the climate crisis and decolonisation. The lexicon below, which will be updated as the program progresses, can serve as useful starting point for further inquiry:
‍
       Loss and damage (lowercase "l" and "d") refers to the negative consequences of climate change on human societies and the natural environment. Whilst Loss and Damage (upper case "L" and "D") refers to the polices and plan put in place to address loss and damage, including those negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
‍
      Climate Colonialism connects climate change to acts of colonization recognizing that historic injustices are alive in the present.
‍      Anthropocene is the proposed name for the most recent epoch in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems. However, criticism of the proposal has highlighted that it fails to recognise that every human on earth is not equally responsible for such things as the climate crisis which have largely been caused by capitalist extractive practices. alternate proposals include: Capitalocene and Chthulucene.

       Non-economic loss and damage (NELD) refers to the harm caused by the climate crisis to individuals (including to life itself, health and mobility); societies (e.g. loss of territory, cultural heritage, Indigenous and local knowledge, and certain untraded ecosystem services); and the natural environment (e.g. loss of and damage to biodiversity and habitats).
