Climate justice: Should countries like Australia pay compensation?

7am

About this episode

As the world gathers at COP27 to decide on the next steps in our response to the climate crisis, the biggest point of contention is one idea: climate justice.

It’s an idea that could force the richest nations – such as Australia – to pay for the damages and loss that climate catastrophe is causing in poorer countries.

But could it really happen? Is it viable? And would Australia ever sign up to the idea of climate reparations?

Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe on how the countries facing devastation from our emissions are demanding justice.
