The 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference, aka COP29, just wrapped up with some surprising twists! 🌎 Developed countries agreed to provide $300 billion to help developing nations tackle climate change, but here's the catch—that's way less than what was promised last year. 😮
Last time around, everyone agreed that developing countries would need at least $1 trillion annually to meet global energy transition goals. So, what's with the shortfall? 🤔
China's special envoy for climate change, Liu Zhenmin, didn't hold back. In an interview with China Media Group, he emphasized that developed nations need to walk the talk and lead by example. 🗣️💬
\"It's time for action, not just words,\" Liu said. \"Developed countries should fulfill their commitments to support those most affected by climate change.\" 🌿
With the clock ticking on our planet's future, will the big players step up? Stay tuned! ⏳🌍
