BREAKING: Version 2 of the draft text for the new climate finance goal has been released. Finally, they've given us a number - $250bn per year by 2035 - but this is nowhere near enough. Wealthy countries must put their money on the table. 350.org/press-release/…

❗BREAKING: The first climate finance goal draft has dropped at #COP29, and if there was ever a time to apply pressure to the leaders negotiating in Baku, it’s now.

Welcome to #COP29! Here is day 1’s update on energy, finance & climate action (🧵)

Our time at #COP29 in Baku🇦🇿 is off to a fast start! Rumor has it that on the 1st day, States will be asked to endorse harmful “standards” that would accelerate the operationalization of the carbon market mechanism with no oversight. This is UNACCEPTABLE! We tell you why🧵👇

🌍 As Ministers dialogue on the #NCQG in Baku, we demand an end to vague commitments! ✊ Ministers must pave the way for an ambitious climate finance goal at #COP29 to meet the urgent needs of developing countries. 👀 Read our full statement here: climatenetwork.org/2024/10/08/cli…

My reaction to the outcomes of the Climate Talks (#SB60) in Bonn. "Climate finance at international talks has morphed into a battleground, a glaring testament to years of neglect and deception by developed nations. These countries have not only skirted their historical responsibilities but have also consistently deployed delay tactics, shifting burdens onto the shoulders of developing countries. "We are on the brink of a catastrophic failure of climate talks, harming those least responsible for the crisis. It is time for wealthy nations to confront their obligations head-on, to integrate substantial climate finance commitments into their national budgets, and to impose punitive taxes on fossil fuel corporations and the super-rich — those who have profited most from the exploitation of our planet. “As we witness devastating impacts affecting people and nature, our patience has run thin. We need action to raise trillions of dollars, not excuses, to finance the urgent climate solutions needed to safeguard our future and restore justice to the communities bearing the brunt of climate change." #PayUp #ClimateFinanceNow #ClimateJustice #UNFCCC #LossAndDamage
