More than a decade later this target was finally met for the first time in 2022 with $115.9 billion raised, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said. The $100 billion target is nowhere near what experts say developing nations will need for renewable energy and adaptation measures like coastal defences against rising seas.

"It is always essential to fulfil past promises, but even more so this year," said COP29 president-designate Mukhtar Babayev.
