There are multiple arguments going on there. Some is from the poorest nations complaining that China and India are now rich and powerful enough to be contributing more. But if you're from a small nation that is facing disappearing underwater - or having a lethal water shortage - this century and don't think what's on offer is going to make a difference, taking the money and doing the best you can is just about how you choose to die.

Tbh, if you’re on the brink of sinking in the next 100years, then no amount of money will prevent that now.
And it’s bonkers that China still gets a seat at the Developing Nations table - I wholeheartedly agree with that.

If you look at the projections you could include Norfolk in that list of underwater places.

You are absolutely correct, but the developing nations’ response ignores the fact that there is limited money to share around.
The walk-out comes across a bit like they’re not really that bothered about addressing the problems. Otherwise they’d take the £250bn and have at it as best they can. IMO.
