abcnews.go.com November 22, 2024, 07:01 AM UTC

Countries at the UN climate summit in Baku are facing pressure as they enter the final day of talks without a financial agreement. The focus remains on climate finance, with developing nations seeking over $1 trillion to address climate impacts. Draft proposals released have frustrated developing countries, as they lack clear financial commitments. Negotiators are pushing for transparency and concrete figures to support vulnerable nations affected by climate change. Discussions also include reducing fossil fuel use and adapting to climate impacts, but progress has been limited. Criticism has emerged from European nations and the U.S. regarding the weak proposals, highlighting the need for stronger commitments.
