Reacción a "COP29 agrees rich countries to provide $300 billion to poorer countries for climate finance"

Climate change is no longer something vague that might happen in the future - it is already affecting the daily lives of people all across the globe. Extreme weather events, such as fires, floods, and heatwaves, are leaving paths of destruction and causing immense human suffering not just in Australia, but everywhere.

The stakes of these talks are huge for all of us, but especially for low- and middle- income countries who bear the brunt of escalating climate disasters. We need strong commitments to a net-zero transition that build on previous talks rather than undermine them. We need a meaningful, explicit climate finance goal to support projects and programs to deliver climate solutions where they are needed most. This is not just about financial commitments - it’s about climate justice. We have a real opportunity here and it’s not too late to see a meaningful outcome.
