Editor's note: In this weekly feature China Daily gives voice to Asia and its people. The stories presented come mainly from the Asia News Network (ANN), of which China Daily is among its 20 leading titles.

The morning after 40 hours of travel, Filipina activist Ellenor Bartolome headed to the entrance of the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference, or COP30, in the Amazonian city of Belem on Nov 13, fire in her belly.

On Nov 10, her homeland was battered by the second typhoon in a week. Scientists have deemed such phenomena more likely and more damaging as a result of climate change.

"It gets worse every year, and for every disaster, it is utterly enraging that we are counting hundreds of bodies, hundreds of missing people… while the elite and the corporations are counting money from fossil fuels," the 25-year-old from Manila told a stream of participants entering the venue.

The issue of developing countries' access to funding to prepare for the impacts of climate change, or climate adaptation, was the key focus of the conference this year.

Countries from the Global South — the developing parts of the world, including Southeast Asia — are pressing developed countries to contribute more climate finance to help them adapt.

International public adaptation finance flows to developing countries totaled $26 billion in 2023, down from $28 billion the previous year, according to a UN report released in October. The same report found that the financing needs in developing countries for adaptation are 12 to 14 times greater than current flows.

At COP30, developing countries advocated for an agreement on a new adaptation financing target, with some proposals calling for it to be tripled from 2022 levels.

Bartolome, a senior executive officer at the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice, told The Straits Times that Southeast Asia's presence at the conference is key because the region is one of the most at risk from climate calamities.

Archipelagic Philippines, for instance, is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world, Bartolome said. "We're here because we recognize the importance of these spaces where civil society organizations must still be present," she said, adding that because fossil fuel often lobbies, and there should be a "counter-narrative".

Typhoons have become the new normal for the nation of islands, costing homes and lives, said Filipina Lidy Nacpil, a veteran who has attended 16 COPs.

"Today, the majority of Filipinos know what climate change is about because they actually experience it," added the fellow protester from the Asian Peoples' Movement on Debt and Development.
