Success at this year’s COP29 in Azerbaijan hinges on the agreement of a robust new climate finance goal that meets the needs of climate-vulnerable countries. But replacing the existing commitment of $100 billion annually with a goal that’s far more ambitious will be no small feat.
For climate-vulnerable developing countries already dealing with an increasing number of extreme weather events, such as the recent floods in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and Nairobi, Kenya, it’s imperative that developed countries take concrete action to rebuild trust and solidarity, and offer the level of financial commitment and support that’s truly needed for developing countries to transition to a low-emissions, climate-resilient future. |
The Allied for Climate Transformation By 2025 (ACT2025) consortium's upcoming high-level webinar, Unlocking Finance for Climate-Vulnerable Nations at COP29 and Beyond on Wednesday 22nd May, 9:00 am EDT / 3:00 pm CEST will tackle some of the biggest questions being raised in the lead up to COP29, and provide guidance and solutions for leaders entering into critical negotiations this year across finance, mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage.
Our distinguished panel includes: - H.E. Mohamed Nasheed, Secretary-General and founder, Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF); former President, the Maldives
-
Jennifer Morgan, State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action, Federal Foreign Office, Germany
- Dr. Spencer Thomas, Ambassador and Special Envoy for Multilateral Environmental Agreements, Grenada
