Climate-vulnerable countries call for help forcing high emitters to act

Those most at risk warn countries such as Australia they will lose out economically if they do not raise targets

Some of the countries most vulnerable to climate breakdown have called on the UN and the UK and other countries who want to lead the climate fight to help them ensure high emitters upgrade their carbon targets, as called for at the Cop26 summit.

They added that countries such as Australia, which has refused to embrace strong carbon-cutting targets, would lose out economically.
