Ever since COP26 ended, we have been bombarded with analyses on how good or bad it was. The COP26 Presidency claimed it was a great success, while the vulnerable developing countries left Glasgow in great dismay over the overturning of their demand for a “Glasgow facility” on “financing loss and damage”. They only got a promise to hold a “dialogue” …

People in developing countries have been bearing the brunt of climate change for decades.
