G20 leaders prioritize climate change on final day of Rio summit
G20 leaders are focusing on climate change at their summit in Rio de Janeiro, discussing sustainable development and cleaner energy. They aim to strengthen commitments ahead of U.N. climate talks in Azerbaijan, where negotiations have stalled. The leaders called for significantly increasing climate finance, targeting a new financial goal for rich nations to support developing countries. However, they did not specify a solution for the ongoing discussions at the U.N. summit. Additionally, the G20 committed to a legally binding treaty to limit plastic pollution by the end of 2024, with negotiations set to continue next week.
