Some argue that developed countries cannot come up with such sums, particularly given their current economic challenges. But no one has so far argued that the cost of damage caused to the development prospects of poor countries and regions is less than the amount of compensation being offered to cover adjustment costs.
有人提出特别是在当前的经济困境下，发达国家拿不出这么大的数目。但迄今为止还没有人提出贫困国家和地区发展前景所遭受的损失达不到支付调整费用的补偿额。原因非常明显：所造成的损失数倍于所要求补偿的数额。
