Farmers in Punjab, Pakistan, face challenges with new Super Seeders aimed at reducing crop stubble burning, which contributes to severe air pollution. While some, like Dilawar Khan Rath, see long-term benefits from the machines, high costs and limited availability hinder widespread adoption. The Punjab government plans to increase the number of Super Seeders and implement a leasing program to enhance accessibility and combat smog effectively.
The EU is standing firm against oil-producing nations in negotiations over a global plastic treaty, as demand for plastic production continues to rise. Amidst growing concerns about plastic waste, environmental groups are hopeful that a summit in Busan, South Korea, will yield a landmark agreement akin to the 2015 Paris climate accord.
Global climate talks at COP29 in Baku ended with a controversial agreement, where wealthy nations pledged $300 billion in climate funding by 2035, criticized by India as an “optical illusion.” The final document also mentioned a broader goal of $1.3 trillion annually in climate finance, but many countries and activists expressed disappointment over the lack of substantial commitments. Tensions peaked when small island states and least developed countries briefly walked out before rejoining negotiations.
The climate conference in Baku highlighted the ongoing struggle for fairness in global climate negotiations, with industrialized nations urged to provide $300 billion annually by 2035 to help developing countries transition to CO2-free energy. However, this non-binding commitment raises doubts about its feasibility, as trust between rich and poor nations remains low. The lack of transparency and accountability, particularly from major players like China, complicates efforts to achieve the ambitious climate goals set forth in the Paris Agreement.
Rich nations have agreed to a new climate finance goal of at least $300 billion annually by 2035 for developing countries, replacing the previous $100 billion target. Despite criticism from vulnerable nations for its insufficiency, the deal aims to mobilize a total of $1.3 trillion per year from all sources by 2035. The agreement, reached amid contentious negotiations, emphasizes the need for timely funding to address the escalating climate crisis.
The UN’s COP29 summit is advocating for a $250 billion annual funding deal by 2035 to assist poorer nations in addressing climate change. A new negotiating text was presented to nearly 200 nations, urging wealthier countries to contribute through various financial channels, including public and bilateral agreements.
At COP29, the Adaptation Fund has faced a "puzzling" lack of new financial pledges, securing only $61 million against a $300 million goal, despite urgent calls for increased funding to combat climate change impacts. The reluctance from donor governments may stem from awaiting outcomes on a new climate finance goal, leaving vulnerable countries in dire need of support. With rising adaptation needs, the fund risks running out of money if contributions do not increase.
Progress on the post-2025 climate finance goal at COP29 remains sluggish, with negotiators struggling to streamline a lengthy text. As discussions continue, a new UN report emphasizes the need to mobilize $1 trillion annually for developing countries by 2030, urging advanced economies to triple their climate finance commitments. Developing nations resist including countries like China in the finance contributor base.
