The US says it will not “under any circumstances” pay reparations todeveloping countries hit by climate change-fuelled disasters

Climate envoy John Kerry made the remarks at a Congress hearing before flying to China to
discuss the issue. Some countries want major economies – which produce the
most greenhouse gases – to pay for past emissions. A fund has been
established for poorer nations, but it remains unclear how much richer
countries will pay. Mr Kerry, a former secretary of state, was asked during
a hearing before a House of Representatives foreign affairs committee
whether the US would pay countries that have been damaged by floods, storms
and other climate-driven disasters. “No, under no circumstances,” he said
in response to a question from Brian Mast, the committee chair.
