Countries at the COP29 summit in Baku adopted an approx us$300 billion a year global finance target on Sunday to help poorer nations cope with impacts of climate change, a deal its intended recipients criticised as woefully insufficient- they were asking for $1.3tn. Previous commitment was to provide $153 billion per year in climate finance by 2020. That earlier goal was met two years late, in 2022, and expires in 2025. Now it’s time we make a difference directly and individually. Choose plants where possible. Consider carbon footprint of everything you and your organisation does. Use hemp plastic where possible! Nations have been seeking financing to deliver on the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels - beyond which catastrophic climate impacts could occur. The world is currently on track for as much as 3.1C of warming by the end of this century, according to the 2024 UN Emissions Gap report, with global greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuels use continuing to rise. Sunday’s deal failed to set out detailed steps for how countries will act on last year’s UN climate summit pledge to transition away from fossil fuels and triple renewable energy capacity this decade. Some negotiators said Saudi Arabia had attempted to block such a plan during the talks. #hemp #hempplastic #cop29 #result
