"During the last hours of this negotiation, it’s critical, it’s about lives. It’s not just even about numbers, but it’s about lives for all of us. That’s why we are holding this line so that leaders can hear us as they enter the plenary to know that the amount of money that has been asked for that is 1.3 trillion public finance need to be put on the table."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Muhammed Lamin Saidykhan, Climate Action Network International:
"That’s why we are determined, even in the last hours this night, to hold lines and call on them to do the needful by putting a strong quantum that is trillions, not billions. But again, a quality fund needs to be available for communities that are living the brunt of the climate crisis that they have not caused."

"We have been fighting for two weeks now. I’m feeling motivated by it because I’ve seen a lot of energy and a lot of resilience from the activist groups and communities that we represent here. So people are ready to fight for their lives because climate change is going to affect all of us."

STORYLINE:
Activists gathered for a final protest Sunday outside the hall where leaders met to discuss the $300 billion funding package for poor nations to curb and adapt to climate change.
The demonstrators called for rich countries to pay up, some with tape over their mouths.
Even in the final weary hours, "it’s critical, it’s about lives. It’s not just even about numbers, but it’s about lives for all of us," said Muhammed Lamin Saidykhan, with the Climate Action Network International.
Countries finally agreed on a deal to inject at least $300 billion annually in humanity’s fight against climate change, aimed at helping poor nations cope with the ravages of global warming at tense United Nations climate talks in the city where industry first tapped oil.
The $300 billion will go to developing countries, which need the cash to wean themselves off the coal, oil, and gas that causes the globe to overheat, adapt to future warming, and pay for the damage caused by climate change’s extreme weather.
It’s not near the full amount of $1.3 trillion that developing countries were asking for, but it’s three times the $100 billion a year deal from 2009 that is expiring.
Delegations said this deal is headed in the right direction, with hopes that more money will flow in the future.
