AOSIS Islands On Alert – Episode 5: A Case For Climate Justice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojh7dwFFm1k

#SIDS have historically contributed the least to #ClimateChange but are on the frontlines of its worst impacts. #GHG emissions have no borders. Who will pay for impacts beyond our adaptive capacity?

Over 10 years ago, it was agreed that developed economies would mobilize $100 billion per year in #ClimateFinance by 2020, for both #adaptation and #mitigation. This commitment is yet to be met.

Can large emitter countries or companies be held legally liable? What does restorative #ClimateJustice actually look like and how do we pursue it?

GUESTS:
Janine Felson, Belize
Lead negotiator on climate finance for AOSIS and Ambassador for Belize

Tina Stege, Republic of the Marshall Islands
