COP29: Countries still miles apart on climate finance at tense UN summit

Quick Summary:

First week of Baku talks marked by low turnout of leaders, Argentina’s withdrawal, and a gulf between blocs’ demands on a new finance goal.

Similarly, the Independent Association of Latin America and the Caribbean (AILAC), a negotiating group of eight Latin American countries, called for a dedicated percentage of the agreed financing goal to be allocated towards the region.

In 2009, developed countries pledged that by 2020, they would collectively mobilise US$100 billion per year to support climate action in developing countries.
