Protesters call for more money pledge
Deccan ChronicleBaku: Hundreds of activists formed a human chain outside one of the main plenary halls at the United Nations climate summit on what is traditionally their biggest protest day during the two-week talks. Activists waved flags, snapped their fingers, and hummed and mumbled chants in a silent protest, with many covering their mouths with the word “Silenced.” Demonstrators held up signs calling for more money to be pledged for climate finance, which involves cash for transitioning to clean energy and adapting to climate change. Tired but inspired, activists vow to keep fighting' Lidy Nacpil said protestors like her are “not surprised” about how negotiations are going. “This has been the worst first week of a COP in my 15 years of attending this summit,” said Mohamed Adow, of climate think tank Power Shift Africa. "There's no clarity on the climate finance goal, the quality of the finance or how it's going to be made accessible to vulnerable countries.” “I sense a lot of frustration, especially among the developing country blocks here,” he said.
