BAKU (Reuters): Countries at the COP29 summit in Baku adopted a US$300bil-a-year global finance target on Sunday (Nov 24) to help poorer nations cope with the impacts of climate change, a deal its intended recipients criticised as woefully insufficient.
The agreement, clinched in overtime at the two-week conference in Azerbaijan's capital, was meant to provide momentum for international efforts to curb global warming in a year destined to be the hottest on record.
