Negotiators from small island states and least-developed nations walk out of consultations on a climate deal at the COP29 conference, saying their interests on climate funding are being ignored. „We’ve just walked out. We came here to this COP for a fair deal. We feel that we haven’t been heard,“ says Cedric Schuster, the Samoan chairman of the Alliance of Small Island States, a coalition of nations threatened by rising sea levels. IMAGES
