Evidence of the impact of climate change is fueling a growing movement for climate “reparations.”

. Torrential monsoon rains and melting glaciers drowned entire villages, as rivers burst their banks, leaving millions marooned and vital crops destroyed. More than 1,700 people, including more than 500 children, were killed in the extreme flooding and 33 million more displaced.

“Not a single person on the ground has any fault with what’s happening to them,” Gabeena said, who like many relief workers, activists and policymakers, wants to see a rapid and significant redistribution of wealth from the global north to the global south to deal with apocalyptic climate impacts she believes the rest of the world is yet to wake up to.

But for a coalition of 134 developing nations and China called the Group of 77, this isn’t enough. The negotiating bloc, which promotes the economic interests of nations in the global south, wants to introduce a new multilateral fund to help ameliorate the impact of floods, droughts and sea-level rise linked to warming gases produced by nations that became rich in the process.provides a stark example of the disproportionate climate change burden that has been placed on some countries.
