The article from Tuko.co.ke discusses the reasons behind the walkout by leaders from poor countries during the COP29 climate talks.

They were particularly frustrated by the reluctance of wealthier nations to commit to substantial financial support for climate mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. The walkout was also a protest against the perceived inequity in the global response to climate change, where poorer nations, despite contributing the least to the problem, are expected to bear significant burdens without adequate support. This action highlighted the ongoing tensions between developed and developing nations regarding responsibility, funding, and action on climate change.
