Governments must hurry to clear uncontentious points of disagreement and make space to conclude a deal on financing the energy transition in developing countries, the head of the UN body that oversees global climate talks has urged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBluffing, brinksmanship, and pre-meditated playbooks burn up precious time and run down the goodwill needed for an ambitious package,\u201d UN climate chief Simon Stiell told the opening plenary session of the second week of COP29 this morning.His remarks came as ministers gathered in the Azerbaijani capital to move talks to the political level after week one ended in an apparent stalemate.<\/p>\n<p>The whole COP climate process could stall or go into reverse if governments \u201cdig in and refuse to move on one issue, until others move elsewhere\u201d with just five days of scheduled negotiations left, Stiell warned. COP29: The clock is ticking as tensions intensify during climate finance talks<br \/>\n\u201cThis is a recipe for going literally nowhere. And could set global climate efforts back at a time when we simply must be moving forward,\u201d he said, calling on negotiators to \u201ccut the theatrics\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union made clear ahead of the COP that it wants to see countries like China and some Gulf states, stepping up to the plate. Their economies have boomed since the climate talks in the 1990s and China is now the world&#8217;s biggest annual greenhouse gas emitter. \u201cPublic finance should remain at the core of the NCQG,\u201d the EU\u2019s lead negotiator said, a reference to the &#8216;new collective quantified goal&#8217; for climate finance that negotiators are supposed to agree by the end of the week, asserting that the bloc has always paid more than its fair share of the global total. \u201cWith affluence comes responsibility,\u201d climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra told reporters in Baku after the week\u2019s first round of talks.<\/p>\n<p>But the EU has apparently conceded that such countries may not make any binding commitments. \u201cA potential solution could be to\u2026move into a space of voluntary contributions,\u201d he said. \u201cWe would be welcoming and open to those countries who do take such a step \u2013 in the end, this is not about dogmatism.\u201d Asked if the EU position is now that all contributions could be voluntary \u2013 including from those wealthy countries currently bound to a combined $100 billion (\u20ac95 billion) a year financing goal &#8211; he said only that the EU would \u201ccontinue to stick with [its] commitments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/11\/18\/brinksmanship-could-sink-cop29-finance-deal-un-climate-chief-warns-as-eu-softens-stance-on\">Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/brinksmanship-could-sink-cop29-finance-deal-un-climate-chief-warns-as-eu-softens-stance-on-china\/\">\u2018Brinksmanship\u2019 could sink COP29 finance deal, UN climate chief warns as EU softens stance on China<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16973,555],"class_list":["post-135480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cop29-finance-deal","tag-csr-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135480\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
