Some 6,000 people attended the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany. The key focus of the 10-day meeting was climate finance, as nations prepare for COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
As some of the poorest countries are among those hit hardest by climate-related disasters, will developed nations be able to agree on global funding goals?
Joining the discussion:
- Mohammed Mahmoud is a Water Resources Management and Climate Adaptation Expert.
- Changhua Wu is Chair of the Governing Council of Asia Pacific Water Forum and China Director at the Office of Jeremy Rifkin.
- Amali Tower is the Founder and Executive Director of Climate Refugees, a research and advocacy organization for those displaced by climate change.
- Bob Ward is a Policy and Communications Director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.
🌍💬 @UNFCCC Climate Negotiations are happening NOW in Bonn!
Tell our leaders to push for strong climate finance goals to support low-income countries. Big polluters must pay for climate losses, adaptation, and mitigation. 💸💪
