Taxpayers’ cash should be sent to poorer nations to help with climate change, says Ed Miliband
ED Miliband says taxpayers’ cash should be sent to countries such as Pakistan and the Maldives to help deal with climate change.
The shadow Climate Secretary insisted poorer nations should receive aid cash from the UK to deal with the crisis.
The issue of financing is set to be hotly discussed at the Cop 27 summit in Egypt where world leaders are meeting for the next fortnight.
But Mr Miliband shied away from calling the payments as reparations from Britain.
He told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show: “This is about the issue also called loss and damage. This is the fact that poorer countries are facing massive effects of climate change. We see it all round the world.”
He vowed that China wouldn’t receive such cash saying it was for less wealthy countries on the frontline.
