"We’ve had a really powerful action here on finance day at COP29. Because finance is the key issue at these negotiations. We know that the world can’t address the climate crisis unless the rich countries actually pay out for the harm they pose to the global South.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Teresa Anderson, ActionAid International:
"It’s the global South that are paying for the floods. It’s the global South. They’re paying for the droughts. It’s the global South that are paying for rising sea levels. They’re also trying to pay to adapt to future impacts. And then on top of that, they’re somehow supposed to pay to mitigate, to like try to adopt green energy and green technologies and cut emissions, but they can’t because they’re drowning in debt.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Teresa Anderson, ActionAid International:
"It’s really important that rich countries stop trying to prop up the global South with yet more loans or more private investment in the global South and pretend that is a form of climate finance. That’s complete rubbish. The global South is already drowning in debt thanks to the climate crisis. Popping them off with yet more loans is going to make it impossible for any action to take place and is deeply unjust.”
12. Various of demonstrators with banners
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Teresa Anderson, ActionAid International:
"We think it’s quite likely that the U.S. may not be willing to pay its fair share now moving forward. But if the other rich countries that are responsible for causing climate change are serious about stopping this crisis from becoming any more catastrophic than already is, then they need to pay more than their fair share, not less.”

STORYLINE:
About 50 people demonstrated for robust climate financing as attendees entered the COP29 venue this morning in Azerbaijan.
Demonstrators asked for rich countries, which are responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, to pay their fair share in the climate finance negotiations taking place at this year’s U.N. Climate Conference.
Teresa Anderson, of ActionAid International, also said that propping up global South countries with more loans and debt was not a solution.
