World Reaches Climate Finance Deal, Short of Full Funding Target

At the climate talks, countries around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can provide funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. The summit focused on the financial responsibility of industrialized nations to help developing countries cope with the worsening damage caused by climate change. While not perfect and met with dissatisfaction from some, the agreement is seen as a step in the right direction by many.

The World Resources Institute president and CEO Ani Dasgupta called it “an important down payment toward a safer, more equitable future,” but also acknowledged the disappointment of the poorest and most vulnerable nations, who felt wealthier countries didn't contribute enough. Negotiations stretched on through early Sunday after the summit was initially scheduled to end on Friday evening. Tensions were high as delegations attempted to bridge the gap in expectations. Rich countries have agreed to pool at least $300 billion annually by 2035, falling short of the $1.3 trillion requested by developing countries and deemed necessary by experts. However, some delegations viewed this deal as a positive move, hoping for increased funding in the future. The agreement includes a call for all parties to work together using “all public and private sources” to reach the $1.3 trillion annual goal by 2035. This involves encouraging international mega-banks, backed by taxpayer dollars, to contribute financially. It also aims to inspire companies and private investors to follow suit and channel funds towards climate action. This agreement is a crucial step in assisting countries in setting more ambitious targets to limit or reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases, which are expected to be established early next year
