Emerging nations from India to China and South Africa are pushing to make it easier to get compensation for climate-related damage as envoys struggle to make progress at United Nations negotiations in Warsaw.
India wants the Green Climate Fund, set up by UN to channel money to emerging countries, to include a “window” to handle reparations, while the Group of 77 developing nations and China are seeking a loss-and-damage regulator. Claims discussed at the UN talks include help to cut emissions, protection from extreme weather events and support for government departments.
