Pastoralists have been significantly impacted by climate change, with changes in weather patterns leading to droughts, floods, and extreme temperatures. These changes have had devastating effects on the livelihoods of pastoralists, who depend on their livestock for food, income, and cultural practices. As a result of these climate impacts, demands for reparations have been made by various groups and organizations on behalf of pastoralists.

The demands for reparations often focus on historical harms caused by industrialized countries that have contributed significantly to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Pastoralists argue that they have been disproportionately affected by climate change despite contributing minimally to its causes.
These demands for reparations have been made in various arenas, including international climate negotiations, legal frameworks, policymaking processes, and public protests. In some cases, legal actions have been taken to hold governments and corporations accountable for their role in contributing to climate change and the resulting impacts on pastoralists.

The demands have fared differently. In some cases, there have been successful efforts to secure compensation for pastoralists affected by climate change, such as through the establishment of funds for climate adaptation and mitigation measures. In other cases, governments and corporations have been resistant to addressing the demands for reparations, leading to ongoing struggles for justice and accountability. Overall, the fight for reparations for pastoralists impacted by climate change remains an ongoing and complex issue.
