UN climate talks leader: Financial help for poor nations urgent goal of negotiations
The head of upcoming climate negotiations told world leaders Wednesday that a new financial aid package for poor and disaster-struck nations is the urgent, make-or-break goal of United Nations talks this fall.
“Time lost is lives, livelihoods and the planet lost,” said Mukhtar Babayev, the Azerbaijan ecology minister and president-designate of November climate talks in Baku, Azerbaijan.
At the same time, Simon Stiell, the United Nations’ top climate official, made an emotional plea for a stepped-up fight against “the growing cost of unchecked climate carnage ” from his hurricane-demolished hometown of Carriacou, Grenada, in some of the first video from the devastated island.
