Canada has pledged $16 million for a climate disaster fund at the COP28 climate conference, after world leaders approved it to help vulnerable nations cope with the impact of drought, floods and rising seawater.
Canada’s net-zero advisor Catherine Abreu calls the fund a “significant” step. She says Canada has been “showing up” in conversations about supporting vulnerable countries but questioned whether it is doing enough to meet its own climate goals.
Abreu also suggests that countries may have difficulties meeting emissions commitments without steps to phase-out fossil fuels.
She spoke with Global’s Jaden Lee-Lincoln about what she hopes is accomplished at summit to bring us closer to this goal.

Only step this takes is lining the pockets of government officials
Net zero is a authoritarian goal. It’s kills the poor and pollutes the earth
Sick sick sick people are now in charge
Any real scientist will tell you there has been warmer climate millions of years before these clowns existed. Its all cynical…
Great job… we'll just throw money at our problems. That should fix it….
One big lie propagated onto the ignorant and naive in society
Climate change is a MASSIVE SCAM .
Whistleblowers leaked the president of this COP lobbying for his oil company in private meetings.
The Climate fund will make everything more expensive because climate spending doesn't produce the goods and services we need to live.
Anytime the government spends money without increasing production, you and I become poorer.
Global News is owned by Liberal Government agencies their reports mean nothing.
Canada should have canceled all of the money that funds the war in Ukraine and spent on Canadians – we would be a better place on earth. Canada is a peace-loving country, we do not need F35, Submarines, or Frigates… and spend all that money back into Canadian Health Care, homelessness, the environment, and reduced taxes… Canada is a heaven.
NET ZERO MEANS MASS DEPOPULATION
Honestly, the fact that Canada has so much poverty and homelessness speaks volumes about Canada's priorities. We want to fund net-zero interests at basically the expense of the quality of life of many Canadians. I'd rather that money go towards higher wages for Canadians, price caps on necessities especially housing, and higher taxation of the wealthiest Canadians. Don't make it so easy for the millionaire plus class to pay so little tax when they're the ones that can afford it the most. But who am I kidding, the politicians won't do that if it goes against their personal interests, which is why I'm going to leave as soon as I finish my studies
The world's biggest lie
Ah the 1% deciding more ways to tax me for heating my home.
Gutless politicians and this cult looking to spend more of your money.Still no moves at all by China,India ,Russia ,yet these tools do not take them to task.
It sucks that there is horrible stuff going on around the world but HORRIBLE STUFF HAPPENINGS IN CANADA can we please help Canadians before everyone eles? What a complete joke.
😮 Canada's population ain't big enough to save climate change, big population country's can save climate change, good luck on that.
Hey global pay attention to the comments.
What a joke.
What do you expect from Liberals…vote right
Waste of money. Sick .
Net 0 is the Amount CBC SHOULD GET PAID.
Talk of Missinformation
Shh cant say that canadian
Fossil Fuel lol
How many dead dinosaurs does it take to make a barrel of oil?
Surely some government paid scientist working in the tar sands can figure that out 🙂
It's just another scam for the government to steal from the people of Canada.
At no point with any of these funds. Has a single nation been helped. The money disappears.
Ask a thousand people what "net zero" even means and you'll get a variety of answers. At the really dumb end you'll get people who believe CO2 is a pollutant.
Nearly e very single Canadian I know KNOWS this is a looooooong con. It's about control. Nothing more, nothing less. They will heat their homes, eat their fine foods, travel the world on their private jets, munching on wagu beef, while we freeze, starve and are locked in place because we can't drive, fly or sail.
The liberal government is more than happy to sacrifice the poor of today for the poor of tomorrow
Another slush fund to steal from.
Again let me explain to everyone net zero is bad for the environment. To keep things simple it is the equivalent of plants saying they will no longer produce oxygen. Plant life would suffer, global warming is a lie and a scam. A useful excuse for someone to trick you into giving them money.
We don't want it, the weather transfer from the middle class to the rich class in the name of bad weather. If there is a climate crisis, created by men, it was created by these same people who act like they care about it.
Sun cycles u mean it’s been a trend for centuries, guess they need to lobby more cash and cause inflation. Should be worried about elites and airplane flights . Trees eat carbon btw
So lets fly hundreds of empty planes to Dubai with countries leaders in them and have a meeting with them talk about global warming and climate change and pollution.
Bunch of hypocrites. Who is it going to hurt? All the poor and the taxpayers.
