“In the Global South, in marginalized communities, we are experiencing the brunt of climate change now. The creation of a #LossAndDamage Fund is historic, much fought for, and much needed.

"But world leaders have failed to address the core driver of the #ClimateCrisis, the burning of fossil fuels.

Without an urgent phase down of all fossil fuels, disasters will continue to worsen with children amongst the most affected.

This is a grave injustice.” Maya Mailer said.
