“We must understand that these two things are different. The climate finance and the loss and damage facility. This are facilities that should be provided in different streams. And it should be mobilized in a way where there is a plan.

“We do have the resources, what we don’t have is political will. Once we have the political will for investment in renewable energy for protecting our people and planet, we will realize that we already have the resources, we already have the finances available in the world and we already have the experts needed in this transition”.
