As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, the developing world says urgent action is needed to avert catastrophe.
Some in the developing world say that as richer countries caused the bulk of global emissions, they should compensate them for the losses and damages caused by the climate crisis.
But will delegates, negotiators and politicians gathering at the international climate conference, COP26, in Glasgow in November take notice?
In previous years rich countries have been reluctant to agree to compensate poorer countries. If that happens again, what will the impact be on reaching a global commitment to reduce emissions?
Joining presenters Graihagh Jackson and Gaia Vince:
Dr Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development.
Producer : Darin Graham
