Calls for ‘climate justice’ as COP27 puts focus on compensation for poorer, vulnerable countries

The United Nations chief made a pitch for climate justice at the COP27 summit on November 7, 2022, as he called for wealthier nations to pay compensation to countries more vulnerable to climate change. Antonio Guterres made the remarks during his speech on the opening day of the world’s biggest climate conference held this year in Egypt where delegates from 197 countries have gathered.
