The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC Secretary General, Jagan Chapagain welcomes agreement and conclusion of COP29. Reacting to the COP29 Baku Climate Unity Pact, Chapagain said: “The new global climate finance goal's success will be judged by whether increased funds reach the communities that need them most, and by whether they reach them fast. Effective implementation is crucial - delivery on what's been promised. The agreement in Baku creates a pathway, but trust and action go hand in hand. Progress to 'further operationalize the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage' has been a welcome step forward. But communities need delivery and action now”. Our statement: bit.ly/3ZltMUO
