UN climate talks prepare to vote on $300 billion funding package for developing nations
Negotiators at the UN climate talks are set to decide on a proposed funding package of at least $300 billion for poor nations to address climate change. This plan is a compromise between the $1.3 trillion requested by developing countries and the current $100 billion commitment. The proposal has received mixed reactions. Some delegates, like Fiji's chief negotiator, express cautious optimism, while others criticize the amount as insufficient. Activists have protested outside the talks, urging wealthier nations to increase their financial contributions. Discontent among developing nations is evident, with some accusing wealthier countries of failing to meet their obligations. The negotiations have seen divisions, with some countries walking out in protest over the perceived inadequacy of the proposed deal.
