Climate summit agrees damages fund but fails to curb fossil fuels – BBC News

A historic deal has been struck at the UN’s COP27 summit in Egypt – in future rich nations will pay poorer countries for the damage and economic losses caused by climate change.

It ends almost 30 years of waiting by nations facing huge climate impacts.
