My reading of the article was that African&Asian countries are upset because they
1. suffer the most from global warming
and
2. currently aren't in any position to negotiate or enforce their rights
Relevant quotes:
"Counting dead bodies after a typhoon isn’t something any child should have to do."
"Rich countries have failed to keep their $100 billion climate finance promise"
"Rich countries continue to resist calls for climate reparations."
