"Bangladesh needs timely, equitable financial and technological support to meet the challenges in transitioning to #RenewableEnergy" - Environment, Forest, #ClimateChange Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan said at COP29 Azerbaijan 👇 @Cop29News tbsnews.net/bangladesh/env…

🌍 Developing country blocs - G77, AGN, LMDC - came together at CAN's press conference to demand accountability and clarity from developed nations in the negotiations on the New Collective Quantified Goal #NCQG for #ClimateFinance. Hear their latest updates on progress 🧵

My comment on the 'Final Official Day' of COP29 "On this last official day of COP29, we are frustrated, angry, and exhausted by decades of games played by developed countries. This was supposed to be the ‘Finance COP’ — a moment to agree on new climate finance goals critical

Developing countries can not leave COP29 Azerbaijan without new ambitious #climatefinance goals, and grant-based climate finance is crucial for #climatejustice & a much awaiting #renewableenergy-based transition. 👇 @Cop29News Harjeet Singh (@harjeet11.bsky.social)

1/ 🚨 No deal is better than a bad deal. 🚨 As #COP29 nears its end, a packed CAN press conference heard how civil society is holding the line. The stakes? Survival, justice, and humanity’s future. Here’s why we’re fighting till the last hour. 🧵

2/ Lidy Nacpil APMDD: “We can’t understand how rich countries call themselves climate champions yet refuse to put a climate finance goal on the table. We are not going to accept a bad deal - it's preferable to fight for another deal than to be locked into a very bad deal..."

“The trust is shattered! Offering $250 billion per year to developing country, paired with loans through MDBs, is an insult to the true costs. Developed nations must take full responsibility. No deal is better than this inadequate one—we must reject it.” said Harjeet Singh (@harjeet11.bsky.social)

New #COP29 finance text is ugly. All the bad stuff is in, all the good stuff out. ❌ Number too low to be worth mentioning ❌ Total evasion of responsibilities of wealthy countries ❌ No #LossAndDamage ❌ No #HumanRights ❌ No guaranteed provision, no grants WTF - for real.

‘We are not fooled’: Civil society delivers letter to Developed Countries at #COP29, and supports G77+China, in response to latest NCQG draft text. (1/2) No deal is better than a bad deal. climatenetwork.org/2024/11/23/cop… #PayUp

#COP29 Presidency shopping new #NCQG txt. Not good, but there is a "Baku-Belem roadmap for $1.3 trillion" that's meaningless gibberish, like some finance bros vomited a bunch of random words that sound cool. Some countries think it's useful? They must just be deliriously tired 😩

Furious intervention from India after NCQG is adopted at #COP29 "gavelling and trying to ignore parties from speaking does not behove the UNFCCC system…India does not accept the goal proposal in its present form"

Disappointing outcome at #COP29. We missed a chance to shield our most vulnerable from the climate crisis & heal our planet. Strong concerns remain over the adopted climate finance goal. Thanks to all who stood with us. We fight on! #ClimateJustice #COP29 #ClimateFinance

1/20. 😭At #COP29 a decision on a completely inadequate 🚫⚖️ New Collective Quantified Goal on #ClimateFinance (#NCQG) of only US$300 billion a year has been adopted under extremely contentious circumstances with India 🇮🇳, Bolivia 🇧🇴 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 saying that they object to its

“Our climate vulnerability doesn’t end with #LDC graduation” At #FFD4, 🇧🇩🇳🇵🇱🇦 urged a transitional climate finance facility for post-graduation resilience. 👏 Thanks, USG Rabab Fatima & ERD Secretary Md. Shahriar Kader Siddiky for amplifying the call #ClimateFinance

🔊“Short term funding cannot help us achieve the long term goals” Listen to Tracy C. Kajumba explaining why business-as-usual climate finance is failing LDCs. Meanwhile, LIFE-AR is advancing #BusinessUnusual, predictable, locally led finance rooted in national systems and priorities.
