Collective action on climate finance urged

China Daily  

COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC Simon Stiell and Nabeel Munir, Chair of the UNFCCC's Subsidiary Body for Implementation, attend a press conference during the United Nations climate change conference COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, November 18, 2024. Asia needs collective and sustainable action to meet its green finance needs, experts have said, as negotiations at the COP29 UN climate change conference get underway to set a new global financing target for supporting related mitigation and adaptation. As representatives of countries from around the world have gathered at the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Baku, Azerbaijan, the draft text for the New Collective Quantified Goal, one of the main deliverables of the meeting, was published as a workable basis for discussion on a new climate finance goal. Ambitious target Simon Stiell, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, said at COP29 that setting an ambitious new climate finance target is crucial for the well-being of all nations. "Establishing both an international carbon market and a global carbon taxation system is essential for achieving net-zero emissions," said Taghizadeh-Hesary, who is also chief economist of Hong Kong-based sustainable finance consultancy Climate Finance Asia.
