Climate-aid pledges by industrialized nations are worthless, says the leader of the Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago threatened by rising sea levels.
Promises made at COP26, the United Nations climate change conference in November, have not been met, said President Wavel Ramkalawan, adding that he expects nothing better at this year's event.
"I am totally disappointed. The big promises, the commitments and everything else, not one cent has come through," the leader said in an interview from his office in Victoria, the capital, on Thursday. This year "my expectations are not that high, but we have to go through the motions I guess," he said.
Wealthy countries agreed at the summit in Glascow to double the funding they give to poor nations to cope with climate change, without giving a specific figure. This year's COP27 will be in Egypt and is expected to focus on Africa's needs. A pledge made years ago to give $100 billion in funding annually wasn't met.

Seychelles doesn’t exist anymore as rising tides overwhelmed its shores. Oh wait, that only ever happened in Warmists’ fevered imagination.
Well all the islands could flip over...because too many people are on one side.
Oh, how sad.
This is a United States of America Democrat Congressman.....
About as dumb as a clump of dirt......
Dumber than Joe???
Could be a tie...........
“I am totally disappointed not one cent has come through.”
Which of your Swiss bank accounts would you put it in you filthy gonef.
Why are outside investors putting millions into resort construction?
Several feet, I’ll have you know. Sometimes 10’s of feet.
Multiple times there have been measured a 20 foot difference between High and Low Tides on the waterfront. Children were shaking and awaiting the doom of drowning. It is just a matter of time until death.
Then from the Northern Hemishphere, there were signs of change. The Nubian Obama was elected, the water receded. Thanks Apollo(Obama) you godlike man, now please come back and save the world as the tide is coming in again.
Please, Mr. Obama, buy a beachfront property in the Seychelles. That will reassure the natives.
If the sea level is rising, why can they not point out any actual evidence of it? There should be a house or two with water lapping up against the front porch. I have yet to see even one picture of someone who can’t mow their lawn because it is under water.
The rich scolds are flying there in their private jets all the time. Not a one is told to stay home.
Seychelles isn’t “sinking,” it’s subsiding due to plate tectonics, same as Venice, Italy.
Their problem is that fund raising to stop continental drift isn’t as lucrative as whining about (imaginary) man-made global warming.
And oh by the way, the planet still isn’t as warm as it was before the last ice age. So “peak normal” is still some way off.
The Seychelles used to be known for porno flicks.
its really impossible to get ahead of Ukraine in the foreign aid welfare line.
Climate-aid pledges by industrialized nations are worthless, and so is Every Last Prediction made by the Scientific Community and Activists regarding the Planet. NONE OF THEM HAVE EVER COME TRUE
