Message is ‘don’t leave Baku without a successful new finance goal’, says UN climate chief
The world’s 20 largest economies – and biggest carbon emitters – may have supplied enough impetus to secure a deal later this week atclimate talks, as gloom has lifted over the possibility of agreeing a new climate finance goal to support developing countries.
“Stronger new national climate plans are also essential, as the G20 leaders note, to move much faster to a clean-energy and climate-resilient global economy right now,” Mr Stiell said.had said failure was not an option as “it might compromise ambition in the preparation of new national climate action plans, with potential devastating impacts as irreversible tipping points are getting closer”.
While it was too early to say if there would be a deal, he said a breakthrough would restore faith in international co-operation. “The world needs it at this time ... It will be an opportunity for economic development.”
