General Assembly to sound the alarm on climate change and its continuing impact on countries across the globe. Some argue that countries most responsible for emitting carbon should pay climate reparations to areas facing the harshest effects of the crisis."Developed countries have a responsibility to help developing countries take the necessary measures. Only by acting together can we turn things around," said Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte. Experts say the question of climate reparations is something many world leaders will address at the assembly. "They've had little to do with creating the problem of climate change. Their contribution to world emissions is infinitesimal compared to those of the U.S., G7, G20, and so we're going to hear more and more about who's going to pay for the damages," said senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations Alice Hill. Hill is the author of The Fight for Climate After COVID-19, where she explores the interconnectedness of governmental preparation, or lack there of, for the COVID-19 pandemic and how that preparation can be applied to adapting the climate crisis. In the meantime, while world leaders debate on the most effective ways to handle global warming, people around the world will continue to suffer from climate catastrophes."No one is immune to the extreme weather events now ravaging our islands, cities and states," said Vanuatu President Nikenike Vurobaravu. "No one can escape the rising tides."===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
