Unprecedented Increases in Climate Impacts Causing Costly Damage for Developing World
As climate change heads converge at key international meeting, small island nations question how bigger countries’ fossil fuel expansion aligns with urgent need to curb global emissions
Baku, Azerbaijan; 25th July, 2024
As the COP29 Heads of Delegation retreat in Azerbaijan commences, small island developing states noted with extreme concern the intention of many countries to expand oil and gas exploration. A number of Caribbean countries are still reeling from the multi-million-dollar destruction caused by Hurricane Beryl, the historic storm which broke records as the earliest category 5 hurricane to ever impact the region. Alarmingly, scientists also announced that this past Monday 22nd July was the hottest day ever recorded on Earth.
“Talk without commitment on climate action is cheap for bigger countries, but our small island developing states pay the ultimate price with loss of our lives, livelihoods, and invaluable ecosystems,” said Chair of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), Ambassador Fatumanava Dr. Pa’olelei Luteru. “This COP29 Heads of Delegation meeting comes at a crucial time where climate change is showing its real, costly impacts. We cannot accept lip service on commitments to cut emissions. Our international colleagues and partners must understand that every single tonne of emissions they put into our world’s atmosphere comes falling down to crush the most vulnerable people on our planet.”
