Climate summit deal labeled a travesty of justice by negotiators

Developing nations have condemned the Cop29 climate finance deal, calling the $300 billion annual pledge inadequate.

The agreement, reached early Sunday, falls far short of the $1.3 trillion requested by poorer countries to address the climate crisis.

Indian negotiator Chandni Raina criticized the rushed process and labeled the deal a “travesty of justice.”

Small island states and least developed nations protested their exclusion from key decisions.

The $300 billion goal, replacing a previous $100 billion pledge, lacks allocations for the most vulnerable nations, fueling further discontent.

Critics, including Oxfam, slammed the deal as unfair, while some experts warned it reflects political limits rather than effective solutions.
