A protest walkout, frantic last-minute closed-door discussions, and a lot of frustration and anxiety. The COP29 finance talks in Baku had looked like they were about to fall apart running into overtime after last Friday but parties came to a compromise on Sunday and staggered away with a US$300 billion funding deal.
INC chair expresses confidence a deal will be reached; UNEP urges negotiators to focus on unresolved issues including the regulation of harmful chemicals, production of plastics and financing.

Climate talks avoid collapse with last-hour US$300 billion deal seen as dissatisfactory by developing states
COP29 talks – running into overtime – concluded over the weekend with a signed deal to triple the amount of money to help poorer nations climate-proof their economies, but the promised funding falls short of the trillions of dollars developing countries say they need. A deal on Article 6 was also sealed.
