The upcoming COP28 is an opportunity to stop climate finance from being a bone of contention and to turn it into a chance to build a better, more resilient world, Dr Nina Seega writes.
“Fixing climate finance” is one of the four areas outlined by COP28 President Designate Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber as a burning priority of the international climate summit that will take place in Dubai this December.
Instead of arguing about how much wealthier nations should pay to help poorer countries transition to clean energy and better cope with the impacts of climate change, Al Jaber must focus attention on aligning all financial flows with a sustainable future.
