NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The chair of an influential negotiating bloc in the upcoming United Nations climate summit in Egypt has called for compensation for poorer countries suffering from climate change to be high up on the agenda.
Madeleine Diouf Sarr, who chairs the Least Developed Countries group, told The Associated Press that the November conference — known as COP27 — should “capture the voice and needs of the most climate-vulnerable nations and deliver climate justice.”
Sarr said the group would like to see “an agreement to establish a dedicated financial facility” that pays nations that are already facing the effects of climate change at the summit.
The LDC group, comprised of 46 nations that make up just a small fraction of global emissions, negotiates as a bloc at the U.N. summit to champion the interests of developing countries. Issues such as who pays for poorer nations to transition to cleaner energy, making sure no communities get left behind and boosting how well vulnerable people can adapt to climate change have long been on the bloc’s agenda.
Sarr added that the bloc will push for funds to help developing countries adapt to droughts, floods and other climate-related events as well as urging developed nations to speed up their plans to reduce emissions. The group is particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their lack of ability to adapt to extremes, the U.N. weather agency said.
“We have delayed climate action for too long,” Sarr said, pointing to the promised $100 billion a year in climate aid for poorer countries that was pledged over a decade ago.
“We can no longer afford to have a COP that is ‘all talk.’ The climate crisis has pushed our adaptation limits, resulted in inevitable loss and damage, and delayed our much-needed development,” added Sarr.

I demand low IQ shitholes fix their own mess.
Let it be written, so let it be done.
Lazy, unproductive grifters, one and all.
Absolute BS! They want our money, not follow any green rules, and the Chinese government runs the show! If anyone has read up on Africa, you’ll know the Chinese are into everything, kinda like here now…
“Poor nations to demand climate justice, finance at UN summit”
I’m sure the Blank Check in the White House will gladly volunteer the US to pay for that.
Nations incapable of creating or producing anything that will improve scientific knowledge, life on earth, or at the very least something anybody will trade for, demand others sacrifice so their leaders can build palaces and live lavish lifestyles while their peasants remain perpetually poor
It was always about the Benjamins.
And since the entertainment industry has been pushing this scam, I propose a 25% Tax on All income, Tips and Wages for every last person working in the entertainment industry to help these poor people.
What part of shove your demands up your failed collectivist Obamaholes will they not understand?
Well of course! We always knew that this climate crap was about taking money from those who earn it and giving it to those who whine and blame the others.
Temps didn’t start rising until the Third World dramatically increased its per capita energy consumption.
Since they don’t understand the difference between correlation and cause and effect, they need to reduce their energy usage to 1940 levels.
That should fix it.
Useful idiots of the global elite.
We need to work harder to support the entire world./sarc
Yet for some reason the left doesn't hold accountable the nations with the highest birth rates, which also tend to be the poorest nations.
Just sayin'
The KenyanS want free envirobucks, they can get ‘em from the far lefties down at the UN or their buddy, Barry Obonzo.
“...Least Developed Countries group...”
Seriously?
What a pitiful bunch. They want ‘reparations’ for being brought to America and now they want ‘reparations’ for not being brought to America. Africa. What a miserable crap hole.
