Industrialized countries have pledged around half a billion US dollars to help the world's most vulnerable nations cope with the impacts of climate change.

An agreement on the new 'loss and damage fund' on the first day of the COP28 climate conference was met with a standing ovation. The money will help pay for damage caused by slow onset disasters, like rising sea levels, and extreme weather events, like heavy rain, flooding, droughts and wildfires. But many say the money pledged is not enough.

In Pakistan for example, families are still struggling after deadly floods – made worse by climate change – swept through Sindh province in mid 2022.

We talk to Mustafa Talpur. He is Asia Regional head of Advocacy and Campaigns for Oxfam international and joins us from Islamabad.

And for more, DW’s Climate Correspondent Louise Osborne is joining us in the studio.
