In total, Denmark will support the most climate-vulnerable countries with DKK 350 million. In addition to the climate fund, the government supports “other projects regarding loss and damage” according to a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For example, a project to help with access to early warning systems for everyone by 2027. “We are some of the ones who have emitted the most. The immediate consequences of climate change are most felt in the countries where the population emits the least,” Frederiksen told Information. /ritzau/
