Climate finance deal agreed at COP29, $300 billion allocated for developing countries
ai generated text
The COP-29 summit in Azerbaijan has reached a compromise deal on climate financing, aiming to provide at least $300 billion per year by 2035 to help poorer nations deal with climate change. This goal is a compromise between the $1.3 trillion per year sought by developing countries and the current $100 billion target.
We have presently removed ourselves from the stalled NCQG (New Collective Quantified Goal) discussions, which were not offering a progressive way forward.
I ask you to now step up your engagement with one another to bridge the remaining divide.
I think it caught a lot of people by surprise.
After the difficult experience that we're having here in Baku, we need to reach some outcome that is minimally acceptable in line with the emergency we're facing.
I would call this dissatisfaction, (we are) highly dissatisfied.
We have to do everything to come toward the 1.5 degree (Celsius, 2.7 Fahrenheit) pathway.
We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially the small island states, to be ripped off by the new, few rich fossil fuel emitters.
We are in the midst of a geopolitical power play by a few fossil fuel states.
They are not necessarily happy about everything, but the bottom line is everybody wants a good agreement.
This deal will keep the clean energy boom growing and protect billions of lives. It will help all countries to share in the huge benefits of bold climate action: more jobs, stronger growth, cheaper and cleaner energy for all.
But like any insurance policy – it only works – if the premiums are paid in full, and on time.
It has been a difficult journey, but we've delivered a deal.
