Nicola Sturgeon hails Scottish contribution to COP27 as deal struck to help worst-hit countries
Nicola Sturgeon has welcomed an historic deal struck on the last day of COP27 to launch a fund to support nations worst-hit by climate change.
Developing countries have campaigned for 30 years for a fund to help them tackle the worst effects of climate change. "I am pleased that Scotland, in being the first developed country ever to make a financial contribution, has been able to play a small part in that journey working with others over the last twelve months to build the momentum that has led to today’s decision."
Scottish Green MSP Mark Ruskell said: "This is far too little and far too late. There has been one step forward on loss and damages but two steps back on oil and gas. There had been hope agreements made at COP26 in Glasgow last year could be expanded on in the battle limit climate change to 1.5 degrees by 2100.
