Greenpeace criticizes Cop29 climate finance deal as inadequate
At the Cop29 conference in Baku, a financial package of $300 billion was agreed to support developing nations in addressing climate change. However, Greenpeace criticized the deal as "woefully inadequate" given the urgent need for action. Greenpeace's Jasper Inventor highlighted the challenges faced during negotiations, stating that the deal fell short of what is necessary. He emphasized the need for stronger climate ambitions from governments. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband described the agreement as a "critical 11th-hour deal." US President Joe Biden acknowledged the ongoing challenges but noted that the conference established an ambitious climate finance goal.
