11 November 2022, Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt: Hundreds of protestors stage a flooding of the venue of the United Nations climate change conference COP27, just as the conference is preparing to receive United States president Joe Biden, who is to address the conference moments later. Led by seven women from the global south, representing the flooding water in the stunt, the crowd shouts 'Pay up, pay up, pay up for loss and damage!', referring to the way rich countries who are the most responsible for climate change have a moral obligation to support less developed nations in their work to adapt and mitigate the consequences of the climate crisis on vulnerable communities.
