The COP29 climate summit continues to extend beyond its scheduled timeline. Developing countries express strong discontent regarding the lack of adequate financial support from wealthier nations. They accuse rich countries of demonstrating “contempt for our vulnerable people” through a recent cash offer that falls short of what is necessary.
Many representatives from these nations assert that the financial aid promised in previous agreements is insufficient to combat the escalating impacts of climate change. As negotiations stall, frustrations run high, with calls for immediate and effective financial solutions aimed at supporting those most affected by climate-related disasters.
