Finance day at COP29 began with protests at the UN climate conference venue.
The activists said there can be no more delay in providing the “trillions, not billions” in climate finance for vulnerable communities that continue to pay the price of a climate crisis caused by the emissions of rich countries.
“If developing countries want to avert runaway climate breakdown, they need to repay the debt owed to the Global South.”
Activists have also linked the war in Gaza to the climate crisis. They say Western governments and the fossil fuel industry are driving both.
With many of them wearing Palestinian keffiyehs, dozens of protesters gathered inside the COP29 venue. They say there can be no climate justice without human rights.
I agree with what you say. Also about the headline, it was the one that was suggested from the “Generate title” thingy - so I just changed it to what is on the actual article.
