G20 backs climate finance for developing nations as Cop29 talks begin in Baku

standard.co.uk November 19, 2024, 01:01 PM UTC

The G20 has expressed support for increased climate finance to help developing countries, coinciding with the start of the UN climate talks, Cop29, in Baku, Azerbaijan. Leaders emphasized the need for a significant financial boost, aiming for $1 trillion annually by 2030. While the G20 reaffirmed its commitment to renewable energy and energy efficiency, it did not mention phasing out fossil fuels, raising concerns about potential backsliding on climate commitments. This omission has drawn criticism from environmental advocates and some negotiators. Negotiations at Cop29 are ongoing, with a framework for a finance deal beginning to take shape. However, hopes for progress on fossil fuel commitments remain low, as some oil-rich nations resist stronger language on transitioning away from fossil fuels.
