G20 leaders focus on climate finance and plastic pollution at Rio summit conclusion

thenews.com.pk — November 19, 2024, 07:01 AM UTC

G20 leaders concluded their summit in Rio de Janeiro by emphasizing the need to increase climate finance significantly. They called for a shift from billions to trillions to support climate change initiatives, aiming to strengthen negotiations ahead of the UN climate talks in Azerbaijan. The leaders agreed on the necessity for a new financial goal for climate aid to developing nations but did not specify a solution. Developed countries want to include wealthier developing nations in funding discussions, while some developing nations oppose this expansion. Additionally, the G20 committed to finalizing a legally binding treaty to limit plastic pollution by the end of 2024, with negotiations set to continue next week.
