Protesters at the COP28 climate talks in Dubai Monday called for additional financing for the newly established loss and damage fund, as well as an end to subsidies for the fossil fuel industry. Kenyan climate activist Eric Njuguna said he believed certain countries had not paid enough into the fund. "The message of this action today is that after the creation of the loss and damage fund on day one, Global North countries haven't paid enough into the loss and damage fund," he said. "We need the rich countries to pay into the loss and damage fund in the scale of hundreds of billions," he added. Meanwhile, Japanese activist Susanne Wong singled out her country for subsidizing modern fossil fuels across Asia.
