COP 29 Climate Summit and the "Trillion Dollar" Demand
The COP 29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, has focused on a massive new funding target for developing nations. While previous commitments were set at $100 billion annually, developing countries are now calling for over $1 trillion per year to address "climate pollution" and weather risks. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres suggested taxing shipping, aviation, and fossil fuel production to meet these ambitious goals.
