56. 小岛屿发展中国家不应对气候灾害造成的日益沉重的债务负担负责；相反，他们对温室气体排放起到的推动作用最小。公共部门作为一个整体，用于发展的资金来源正在缩小，使公共财政应对气候变化挑战的状况更加岌岌可危。此外，由于繁琐的程序和来自经济实力更强的其他国家的竞争，小岛屿发展中国家甚至难以获得这方面有限的可用资金。到 2020 年每年为发展中国家调集 1 000 亿美元气候融资的承诺必须兑现。
56. Small island developing States were not responsible for their increasing debt burden arising from climate-related disasters; on the contrary, they contributed the least to greenhouse gas emissions. Public sector sources of financing for development as a whole were dwindling, leaving public finance to meet climate change challenges in a still more precarious state. Moreover, small island developing States had difficulty in gaining access even to the limited available finance in that regard because of cumbersome processes and competition from other countries with more powerful economies. The commitment to mobilize $100 billion in climate finance for developing countries annually by 2020 must be honoured.
