STORYLINE:
A group of activists from Global South countries chanted “pay up climate finance now” and unfurled a long invoice demanding developed countries to pay $5 trillion to help cope with climate change at the COP29 Summit in Baku on Tuesday.
Climate and environment ministers gathered in Baku to negotiate a new amount of money to aid developing countries in climate crisis.
Aishwarya Visvanathan, a Malaysian activist, said Global South countries “have to stay united” and not agree to a deal that’s going to harm the region.
Vulnerable nations say they need as much as $1.3 trillion to cope with damage they’ve already suffered from extreme weather events, and to adapt to a warming planet.
Wealthy nations haven’t been willing to pay nearly that much.
Kjell Kühne, founder of Leave it in the Ground Initiative, showed up in a dugong costume and asked countries to stop using and producing fossil fuels because the extraction threatened animal habitats.
Kühne said dugongs, an endangered sea mammal, are endangered by oil extraction in Arabian Gulf.
“This is very symbolic for the problem that exists all around the world that the fossil fuel industry is pushing into these very vulnerable spaces that should be protected but they are not protected,” he said.
