UN climate chief Simon Stiell urged countries on Thursday to accelerate negotiations ahead of the COP30 in Brazil, as there was a lot left to be done.<\/p>\n
Speaking after two weeks of technical talks in Bonn, Stiell closed the annual climate diplomacy event saying: \u201cWe need to go further, faster and fairer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonn is home to the UN Climate Change Secretariat, which coordinates international climate policy and hosts preparatory talks each year ahead of climate summits.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to sugar coat \u2026 we have a lot more to do before we meet again in Belem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
COP30 is due to be held on November 10-21 in the Amazonian city, which is the capital of Para state.<\/p>\n
At last year\u2019s UN COP29 summit in Azerbaijan, rich nations agreed to increase climate finance to $300 billion a year by 2035, an amount decried as woefully inadequate.<\/p>\n
Azerbaijan and Brazil, which is hosting this year\u2019s COP30 conference, have launched an initiative to reduce the shortfall, with the expectation of \u201csignificant\u201d contributions from international lenders.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s COP (Conference of the Parties) comes as average global temperatures in the past two years have exceeded the 1.5\u00b0 Celsius benchmark set under the Paris climate accord a decade ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is so much more work to do to keep 1.5\u00b0C alive, as science demands. We must find a way to get to the hard decisions sooner,\u201d Stiell said.<\/p>\n
Under the Paris Agreement, wealthy developed countries \u2014 those most responsible for global warming to date \u2014 are obliged to pay climate finance to poorer nations.<\/p>\n
Other countries, most notably China, make voluntary contributions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
