At the COP27 climate meeting, an overall final document was hammered out during the morning hours.
One of the more attention-grabbing points at the climate meeting is an agreement on a fund for damages and losses, where richer countries will pay poorer countries for damages caused by climate change.
Much is unclear about the structure of the fund, who will be allowed to take part in it and how much money it will contain.
– The COP has taken an important step towards justice. I welcome the decision, says UN Secretary-General António Guterres in a video, adding:
– It is clearly not enough, but it is a much-needed political signal to rebuild the damaged trust. The voices of those on the front lines of the climate crisis must be heard, he says.
