Small island states say COP29 draft deal shows 'contempt'

An alliance of small island nations threatened by rising seas rejected a draft climate finance deal presented at UN COP29 talks on Friday, saying it showed "contempt" for its people.

"We cannot be expected to agree to a text which shows such contempt for our vulnerable people. We will not be placated by a shoddy placebo goal," the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) said in a statement.
