I move amendment No. 7:
In page 6, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following:“(d) the principle of climate justice.”.
We are moving the amendment because climate change is generating serious weather consequences, the impact of which is increasingly turbulent weather systems which are being felt most of all in developing countries. Drought and severe weather conditions are having the greatest impact on the countries that have contributed the least to emissions. The Minister should accept the amendment.
