The Fight For Fair Climate Financing Continues

The Fight For Fair Climate Financing Continues

Marking the midway point to the UN Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan this November, the Bonn Climate Change Conference recently concluded earlier this month, and financial disputes were said to be at the heart of the talks. With less than five months to go before COP29 in Baku, this mid-way climate meeting hosted by the UNFCCC saw developed and developing countries continuing to battle over who should provide the trillions of dollars required to tackle the climate crisis across the global south, and also how to make progress on international carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, among other issues. We catch up with Meenakshi Raman, the President of Sahabat Alam Malaysia and Head of Programmes at the Third World Network (TWN), who was in Bonn for the talks, to give us a rundown of the key takeaways - or lack thereof - from the talks.
