#ClimateFinance for #SIDS is provided on poor terms. Loans comprise 1/3 of financing to SIDS - so SIDS are paying for their response to a climate crisis we did not cause, and bigger countries are profiting off this. #NCQG Michai Robertson on BBC News (World) youtu.be/BKAJ-wbRuM0

"Trillions is not a large number", says Michai Robertson, Lead Negotiator on Climate Finance, Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). Spending trillions on addressing climate change is essential, as the cost of inaction far exceeds the initial investments required. #SB60 #COP29

It is hard watching wealthy nations fall late with past-due #climatefinance while quickly approving new💲 for war or #fossilfuel subsidies. "It seems like money is always there when it's a more 'real' national priority for the country," Michai Robertson reuters.com/business/envir…

Just heard that #hurricaneBeryl is now a CAT 5 storm heading for Jamaica in JUNE. 10 years ago I spoke about working hard to avoid what is now a reality today. My heart is literally broken.

"Climate talks related to the #NCQG have not been as expected. Instead, there is increased discussion on creative accounting, which is problematic for #SIDS. We need access to climate financing to keep 1.5 Alive." #AOSIS Climate Finance Negotiator, Michai Robertson at #COP29
