$20 Million Offered to Developing Nations for Climate Change Impacts w/ James Shaw & Oxfam's Jo Spratt: November 9, 2022

On Wednesday morning it was announced that the government would be giving $20,000,000 to developing nations to help address loss and damage caused by climate change.

The funding comes as part of the government’s commitment to deal with the impacts of climate change not covered by funding for adaptation measures.

This makes New Zealand one of only a few nations to make a loss and damage payment, which have also been described as reparations for the economic damage caused to developing nations by global warming.

Emilia spoke to Climate Change Minister James Shaw & Oxfam's Communications and Advocacy Director Jo Spratt.
