Cuba demands at COP28 leadership from developed countries in the face of climate change

 

Havana, Dec 9 (RHC) The Minister of Science, Technology and Environment of Cuba, Elba Rosa Pérez, demanded greater and more ambitious leadership from developed countries in the fight against climate change.

When speaking on behalf of the G77 at the resumption of the high-level segment for heads of State and Government of COP28, Pérez pointed out that the first global assessment of the Paris Agreement must emphasize that role of advanced nations.

She stressed that it is their responsibility given their historical participation in the accumulated emissions of greenhouse gases, as well as the availability of resources and technologies they have to reduce their emissions.

She warned that not even the goal of mobilizing 100 billion dollars annually has been achieved, which shows a deep lack of solidarity towards billions of people who live in nations highly vulnerable to climate change.

The Cuban minister considered that the global balance should also achieve sustainable development; eradication of poverty; adequate, accessible and timely financing volumes; and the means of application that developing countries need.

She highlighted the need for a framework that guides the implementation of the global adaptation goal and explicitly indicates the provision of means to strengthen the adaptive capacity of developing countries. (Source: PL)
