Developing countries are the most vulnerable to the damage caused by climate change, such as floods, droughts and wildfires.
Addressing the needs of less wealthy and smaller countries is vital for the COP26 climate negotiations in Glasgow, where leaders are being asked to agree on new commitments to tackle climate change.
What do developing countries want?
The least developed countries have set out their priorities for negotiations. They want richer and developed countries to:
* fulfil a pledge to provide $100bn (roughly equivalent to £73bn at current exchange rates) each year in finance to help reduce emissions and adapt to climate change
* agree to net-zero targets on greenhouse gases well before 2050, with specific targets for major emitters such as the US, Australia and countries in the EU
* acknowledge the loss and damage they have experienced, such as the effects of rising sea levels or frequent flooding
* finalise rules on how countries will implement previous agreements In a statement ahead of the summit, the group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) said "raising global ambition and increasing climate finance is paramount to our survival".

Send them birth control pills. Tons of it.
That is ONLY what it has been about from day 1.
Cheap energy is the start.

I see no correlation at all. I'd like them to back that statement up. California is hit by floods, droughts and wildfires and it's not "developing".
Hey, you know, developed countries have floods, droughts and wildfires. So what?
Buckets of cash that will disappear into the bank accounts of their political class.
