Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodr{iguez spurred Saturday industrialized countries to meet all their commitments to face the global effects of climate change.

Havana, Cuba.- Despite the Loss and Damage Fund to compensate for the impacts of climate change in island countries, 90% of the financing has gone to industrialized countries, Rodriguez posted on X.

"These nations must take historical accountability and meet their climate commitments," added the Cuban FM.

Rodriguez’s exhort comes on the Fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States, held from May 27 to 30 in Antigua and Barbuda.

According to data shown at the event, those States are more exposed than others to drought, desertification, hurricanes, storms, floods, and other extreme meteorological phenomena, which cause great damage.

For Cuba, it is an urgent need for developed countries to support efforts to finance strategies adopted to face and deplete the effects of the climate crisis. (PL)
