The agreement, finalised at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, establishes that developed countries will contribute $300 billion annually by 2035 to assist poorer countries in mitigating the effects of climate change.
Climate negotiators on Sunday agreed to an annual finance target of 300 billion U.S. dollars to help poorer countries deal with the impacts of climate change by 2035, a key task of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29).
According to the deal reached in Baku, capital city of Azerbaijan, rich countries will lead the payments.
The new goal will replace the previous deal of 100 billion U.S. dollars per year in climate finance for developing nations by 2020. However, that goal was met two years late, in 2022, and expires in 2025.
The European Union hailed the deal as a "new era" of climate finance for poorer countries, but UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that he had hoped for "a more ambitious outcome."
Vulnerable developing countries led by India and Nigeria criticized the sum as "paltry" and an insult. These nations had been holding out hope for a figure closer to their proposed 1.3 trillion U.S. dollar sum.
COP29 also reached agreement on creating a global market to trade carbon pollution rights and to mobilize more money on new projects to help fight global warming.
