UN Chief calls COP29 deal a 'foundation' amid fears of weak agreement
==========
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concerns about the COP29 climate finance deal reached in Azerbaijan on November 24, 2024, stating it did not go far enough and should be viewed as a 'foundation' for future agreements; the deal commits developed nations to provide at least $300 billion annually by 2035 to assist developing countries, an increase from the current $100 billion; UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband called the deal a 'critical eleventh hour deal' but acknowledged it was not everything desired; over 300 NGOs urged developing nations to reject the deal if better offers were not made, criticizing developed countries for their lack of commitment; the negotiations extended beyond the scheduled conclusion due to disagreements over financial commitments.
