Zainab Waheed from Pakistan said it was wrong that rich countries could simply pull out of climate deals they helped negotiate (eg Canada and the U.S. — she didn’t name them).

Nisreen Elsaim from Sudan said some climate finance wasn’t really climate finance at all:
Maximo Mazzocco from Argentina said property rights probably should be distributed in “another way” for sustainable development – so people can grow their own food and energy.

Channel Four’s news presenter apologized for the “unexpected interruption.”
