COP27: Vulnerable nations, which have typically emitted the least but are the worst affected, have been pushing the issue of compensation for years
Tina Stege, climate envoy for the Marshall Islands, which are being eaten away by rising sea levels, told Sophy Ridge on Sunday they were already"having discussions about where and when people need to move, to other islands, to higher ground - which, by the way, we don't have".
The move will appease developing countries and could grease the wheels in other areas of the negotiations, all of which are based on cooperation and bringing something to the table in the expectation others will do the same.'Our planet is sending a distress signal'But crucially, these talks are unlikely to define or establish a funding facility, instead launching"a process with a view to adopting a conclusive decision no later than 2024".
Unless the funding facility is agreed in Egypt, with details worked out over the next few years, COP27 is failing the world's most vulnerable people, he said.
