The impact of rising seas prompts plea ahead of the UN climate change conference that begins on Monday in Madrid
The countries most at risk of deluge from climate chaos have issued an impassioned plea to the industrialized world ahead of crucial negotiations on the Paris agreement that starts on Monday in Madrid.

“We see [these talks] as the last opportunity to take decisive action,” Janine Felson, deputy chair of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) told the Guardian.

“Anything short of vastly greater commitment to emission reduction, a new climate finance goal and tangible support for disaster risk reduction will signal a willingness to accept catastrophe.”
