Countries face pressure at UN climate summit as financial deal remains elusive on final day

Countries at the UN climate summit are facing pressure as they enter the final day of talks without a financial agreement. Key discussions focus on climate finance, with developing nations seeking over $1 trillion to address climate impacts and transition to clean energy. Draft texts released have frustrated developing countries, as they lack specific financial commitments. Critics argue this absence shows disrespect to vulnerable nations affected by climate change, emphasizing the need for clear financial proposals. Negotiations also include commitments to reduce fossil fuel use, but progress has stalled. European nations and the U.S. have expressed disappointment with the proposals, stating they do not adequately address emissions reduction goals established in previous summits.
