‘It will be hard to get agreement in a world that is so divided and under such stress, but that is what we have to do’

“There is a real risk that these negotiations could fail, and we will not find a path forward,” Mr Ryan said. “It will be hard to get agreement in a world that is so divided and under such stress, but that is what we have to do.” “Cop29 is primarily about finding a way to provide climate finance for the poorest countries, who are least responsible for the crisis but most impacted by the extreme weather events already happening.”
“Ireland along with Costa Rica have been selected as the ministerial pair with responsibility for the negotiations on climate adaptation. It is a red line issue for the most vulnerable countries because it is the area where public finance is most needed and least available,” Mr Ryan said.
