COP is copping flak for a lack of meaningful reductions in climate warming emissions.
After going into overtime, the two-week climate summit wrapped up last night, with countries agreeing to set up a "loss and damage" framework to help poor nations badly affected by climate-related disasters.
But decisions on how much money is needed, where it will come from, and where it will go won't be made until at least next year.
The oil and gas industry sent the largest delegation (outnumbering even those of big countries) to COP27 where they had unfettered access to decision-makers and negotiations.
Kaeden Watts, an indigenous climate activist, was at COP27 as an independent delegate - generally unable to influence negotiations.
He told Māni Dunlop about the decision and the prominence - or lack - of indigenous voices at the table.
