statement because of the moral obligation developed countries have towards developing and least
developed countries and also because developed countries are responsible for the natural calamities
taking place in different parts of the world.

The developed countries have the moral obligation to support the developing and least developed
countries during natural calamities. It is the duty and responsibility of the developed countries to
come forward to help the nations going through disaster. For instance, in the last climate change
summit in Egypt, world leaders have agreed to contribute and establish a loss and damage fund for
the affected nations.
