The CVF also called on those developed nations to equitably distribute sustainability and renewable energy technology, keeping in mind balance with those countries’ development needs. Lastly, the nations said any pact should address existing climate-related damages, including the migrants and refugees created by environmental displacement.

United Nations Secretary General António Guterres, in his own remarks, said the allocation of climate finance must do a better job of improving resilience and adaptation for those most vulnerable to climate change’s impacts.

“Currently, just a quarter of climate finance flows towards adaptation — a mere $20.1 billion dollars,” Guterres said. “It is estimated that the adaptation costs to developing countries could rise to as much as $300 billion dollars a year by 2030.”
