Nearly 200 countries reached a contentious agreement at COP29 in Azerbaijan to triple climate finance for developing nations, committing at least $300 billion annually by 2035. Despite the deal, which faced objections from India, many view it as inadequate to meet the urgent needs of vulnerable countries. The agreement aims to inform future emissions reduction commitments and highlights the ongoing challenges of global climate cooperation.
Developed nations are urged to contribute $300 billion annually by 2035 to assist poorer countries in addressing climate change, as outlined in a draft deal from COP29 talks in Baku. This new target replaces the previous $100 billion commitment, which was met late, and reflects ongoing tensions between wealthy and developing nations over climate finance responsibilities. The agreement also includes rules for a global carbon credit market aimed at mobilizing additional funding for climate initiatives.
Key negotiators at COP29 have reached a broad agreement on climate finance, potentially unlocking $300 billion annually for poorer nations, a significant increase from previous pledges. While optimism grew after a productive meeting, consensus among nearly 200 nations remains essential for finalizing the deal. A draft of the agreement is expected to be published for further discussion and approval.
Wealthy nations at COP29 have raised their climate finance offer to $300 billion annually by 2035 to assist developing countries, following criticism of a previous $250 billion proposal. The negotiations, which have extended beyond the summit's scheduled end, highlight the ongoing divide between affluent countries and those facing severe climate impacts. Developing nations, including Brazil, are advocating for even higher funding levels to effectively combat climate change.
At the COP29 climate conference in Baku, a shortage of toilet paper and closed restaurants have compounded frustrations as negotiations falter. Several countries, including island states and least developed nations, have exited discussions amid disputes over financial aid, with demands for funding reaching up to $1,300 billion annually by 2035. The conference, originally set to conclude on Friday, is now expected to extend into Sunday as tensions rise over proposed aid increases.
Negotiators at COP29 in Baku are striving to finalize a climate finance deal, with the US and EU proposing a $300 billion annual commitment from developed nations, tripling the current pledge. However, developing countries argue that their needs exceed this figure, with calls for at least $1.3 trillion annually by the next decade. Tensions remain high as discussions continue on the roles of major economies like China and Saudi Arabia in funding efforts.
Negotiators at the COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan are nearing a carbon credits agreement after nearly a decade of discussions. This deal aims to enhance trading under a new UN-supervised market, focusing on rules for Article 6, which governs how countries can trade credits to meet their emissions reduction targets under the Paris Agreement.
At COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, delegates faced stark realities as discussions on climate finance highlighted a significant gap between the needs of developing nations and the commitments of wealthier countries. Despite a draft agreement proposing $250 billion annually by 2035, many expressed skepticism about the feasibility of such funding, especially with the looming influence of U.S. politics under a potential Trump re-election. The conference underscored the urgent need for effective international cooperation to address climate change, as developing countries continue to bear the brunt of its impacts.
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.
Hungary has expressed concerns that US sanctions on Gazprombank threaten the energy security of Central Europe, potentially increasing the risk of a Russian gas cutoff. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto described the sanctions as an "attack on our sovereignty" and is consulting with energy ministers from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, and Serbia in Istanbul.
