The recent climate finance deal reached in Baku has been criticized for failing to address the urgent needs of developing nations, lacking ambitious goals to limit global warming, and excluding major polluters like the US and China from mandatory contributions. Critics argue that the agreement perpetuates a cycle of debt for vulnerable countries while rich nations evade their financial responsibilities, leading to a significant setback in global climate action. The influence of fossil fuel lobbyists at the summit further diluted commitments, leaving many delegates feeling betrayed.
Switzerland's climate finance contributions are under scrutiny as environmental groups argue the nation must increase its funding to developing countries. While the Swiss government claims a fair share of $450-$600 million annually, NGOs like Greenpeace advocate for at least $1 billion, reflecting the country's true climate impact, including emissions from imports. As the COP29 conference approaches, calls for expanded contributions from major emitters like China and Russia intensify amid concerns over the adequacy of current funding levels.
