The Lid is On

COP29 delivers climate finance boost, but much more needed to help developing nations cope with the crisis


Listen Later

Just 35 hours later than advertised, the UN Climate Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan wrapped up, with an agreement to triple the amount of climate finance paid to developing nations to $300 billion per year, by 2035.

The deal is a definite step forward, but the final sum is far less than the $1.3 trillion that climate experts say these countries need in order to adapt to the crisis.

On this episode, we look back at the second and final week of COP29, what was achieved, and what comes next.
