The climate deal brokered at Cop29 is disappointing – but it is a start

The Independent  

Although the last-minute agreement on climate finance reached at the Cop29 summit in Baku was branded a “betrayal” of developing countries by campaigners, it was much better than no deal. It was less than they wanted, but the agreement called on all parties to mobilise “all public and private sources” to get closer to the poor nations’ demand for $1.3 trillion a year by 2035. As Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary general, warned world leaders in Baku; the planet is experiencing a “masterclass in climate destruction”. Mr Miliband said the Cop29 agreement “is not everything we or others wanted” but is a step forward, which sends a signal that clean energy transition is “unstoppable”.
