🌍 As the clock ticks down to the end of COP29 this Friday, climate negotiators from around the globe are in a race against time ⏰ to nail down a new climate funding deal. The big question on everyone's mind: How much will developed nations contribute to help developing countries tackle climate change after 2025?
During this crucial 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), the pressure is on to set a clear and ambitious funding target. But it hasn't been smooth sailing. A new draft released early Thursday showed that nations are still split 🌪️ over the numbers, with no consensus in sight.
\"We need a figure as a headline to really determine whether we're… making progress,\" emphasized Adonia Ayebare, chair of the Group of 77 (G77) and China, representing developing nations, during a plenary session on Thursday.
The urgency is real, and the world is watching 👀. Will the nations find common ground before the deadline? The stakes couldn't be higher for our planet's future.
