AFRICA SPECIAL NEEDS AND SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES AGENDA CONTINUES TO GET RESISTANCE FROM SOME FELLOW DEVELOPING COUNTRY NEGOTIATING BLOCKS Africa’s recurrent agenda on its special needs and special circumstances was today discussed under Presidency’s consultation agenda at COP29.

It is joke, NCQG 8. In this context, decides to set a goal in extension of the goal referred to in paragraph 53 of decision 1/CP.21, with developed country Parties taking the lead, to USD250 billion per year by 2035 for developing country Parties for climate activities. BAD DEAL

NCQG Comment 1: 250 as the NCQG and the current para 8.c) would mean almost no increase in developed countries' provision of public finance

NCQG Comment 2: Here is why: Assume the NCQG core is 250. Now assume that the MDBs will do what they said last week they aim to do by 2030 (120 provided public and 65 mobilised private). Then assume that this will stay the same by 2035

NCQG Comment 3: If you apply para 8.c) (all MDB flows are counted, not only what's attributed to developed countries), then this leaves you with 250-120-65=65.

NCQG Comment 4 If you then assume all other current climate finance (as per OECD 100bn report), i.e. other multilateral flows, bilateral mobilised private, export credit etc. remain the same in 2035 as they were in 2022

NCQG Comment 5: …then developed country would need to increase their bilateral finance from 41bn in 2022 to just 47.3bn by 2035

NCQG Comment 6: …If one assumes that they'll get better in mobilising private finance or if export credit increases or if some developing countries report into the NCQG as per para 9 -

NCQG7:…then needed increases of developed countries' bilateral finance would be correspondingly lower, possibly to levels even lower than in 2022.

"Developed countries shifting a mere $300bn to developing nations falls short of the $1.3 trillion ask under NCQG. Is this a fair share or a missed opportunity? #ClimateFinance #NCQG #DevelopingCountries" #AGN #ldc #radioenvironment

Ending the climate crisis isn’t about resources—it’s about priorities.
📊 $3.5T from taxing billionaires.
📊 $1.4T by ending fossil subsidies.
📊 $1.1T from fair corporate taxes.
Together = the funds for climate justice. 🌱
#FossilFree #ClimateFinance

We can pay for climate justice.
👉 $6.6 trillion per year could be raised if rich countries: •Tax billionaires & multimillionaires •End fossil fuel subsidies •Make polluters pay
🌍 Enough to fund a just transition for all.

COP30 : L’Afrique à un Tournant Décisif — Entre Aspirations, Financement et Équité Climatique (Par Alpha Oumar Kaloga, Négociateur en Chef du Groupe Africain sur les questions Pertes et préjudice et finances climatiques) kabakonews.com/2025/10/26/cop…

LnD is not just about shorelines — it’s about our languages, medicines, cultures, and survival. From the Pacific to Africa, frontline communities are demanding justice, not charity. 💰 $250M is a drop in the ocean — #COP30 must scale up to billions. #LossAndDamage #ClimateJustice

Financing the Loss & Damage Fund is the true test of global solidarity.” Africa loses up to 5% of its GDP each year to climate impacts. The Fund must deliver fast, fair, and accessible support — not promises. It’s time to make polluters pay. #COP30 #ClimateJustice
