‘Travesty of justice’: Cop29’s controversial deal

Madeleine Finlay hears from the Guardian’s environment editor,
Damian Carrington, about the controversial climate finance deal
that brought Cop29 negotiations to a close in the early hours on
Sunday morning in Baku, Azerbaijan. Developing countries asked rich
countries to provide them with $1.3tn a year to help them
decarbonise their economies and cope with the effects of the
climate crisis. But the final deal set a pledge of just $300bn
annually, with $1.3tn only a target. Damian tells Madeleine how
negotiations unfolded, and what we can expect from next year’s
conference in Brazil. Help support our independent journalism at
