“COP29 was a critical COP because for many years, developing countries have been asking, ‘where is the money? I have all these targets that you want us to achieve, but how do I get the means of implementation, how do I get the technology?’”, Ms Fu said, when asked about the significance of the summit’s outcomes for the region.

Negotiators at the COP29 summit also agreed on a call to raise US$1.3 trillion each year from a wider range of sources, including private investment, by 2035. “We need some grants. We definitely need MDBs to be on board – MDBs that will disburse money in South-east Asia and in Asia. We definitely need investors, bankers, as well as philanthropies to be part of this ecosystem.”
