Money Talks: Why Climate Finance Is Make or Break at COP29 | 23 |

In this episode, we explore a vital policy briefing ahead of COP29 that calls for bold financial commitments to power a just energy transition. With debt crises mounting, the Global South needs at least $1 trillion annually in climate grants for mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage. The briefing urges Global North countries to end fossil fuel subsidies, tax polluters, and exclude fossil projects from climate finance. We break down why a new climate finance target (NCQG) is crucial—not only to restore trust in climate diplomacy but also to accelerate the global shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Tune in for a timely look at the funding blueprint for climate justice.Source: https://oilchange.org/publications/road-to-cop29-shifting-and-unlocking-public-finance-for-a-fair-fossil-fuel-phase-out/
