The U.N. climate summit, COP27, opens in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt on Sunday amid growing calls for rich countries to compensate poorer nations most vulnerable to climate change.

Diplomats from more than 130 countries are expected to push for the creation of a dedicated loss and damage finance facility at COP27.
