COP27 was held in Egypt where world leaders gathered to address concerns about climate change - one of the main topics for discussion was 'loss and damage'.

With many developing countries experiencing catastrophic weather events such as floods, drought and fires due to climate change, 'loss and damage' is a call for rich polluters to help these countries.

Plans to help developing nations 'green' their economies have frequently stalled.

As a result, today, the call is also for financial compensation to help with the catastrophic damage they have already experienced.

Demonstrators from some of the countries most impacted by climate change protested outside COP27.

Developing countries have the lowest levels of carbon emissions.

However they're paying the highest price in terms of the impact of climate change.

Joan Maguy has noticed the impact in her own country.

A report published in Earth System Science Data suggests CO2 fossil fuel emissions are on track to rise one percent in 2022 to reach an all time high.

Atmospheric CO2 levels are now 50 percent above pre-industrial levels.

The worst polluting nations must take responsibility according to Ina Maria, a protestor from Namibia.

For Ina Maria the battle against climate change is a world wide one.
