“A failure to consider historical processes like colonialism when implementing climate responses can lead to “maladaptive outcomes,” the IPCC warns.” See link: https://www.theenergymix.com/ipcc-delegates-defy-u-s-with-loss-and-damage-language-raise-issues-of-colonization-and-marginalization/

The IPCC has acknowledged that colonialism must be taken into account. Therefore reparations for that colonialism must also factor into discussions about climate justice in our global finances. There are already organized efforts to that effect: See link: https://newint.org/features/2023/08/14/decolonization-long-goodbye-decolonizenow

Former colonies are not asking for aid: They are asking for reparation. See above link and this link: https://newint.org/features/2023/10/09/fight-reparations
