U.N. climate talks began in Egypt Sunday with a deal to discuss how rich countries can help pay for the damages caused by global warming elsewhere.
The breakthrough, reported in advance by Bloomberg, will allow diplomats to officially debate so-called “loss and damage” for the first time during the two week conference in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh resort.
Developing countries have been demanding a discussion on climate reparations since Conference of Parties, or COP, meetings started in the early 1990s.
