Will latest climate deal empower poorer countries suffering from dangerous diseases? - DW News



Nations at the COP29 summit have managed to reach a deal on climate financing after two weeks of fraught negotiations. But many delegates have denounced the outcome, saying it falls far short of what's needed. The final agreement -- worth 300 billion dollars a year -- will help developing countries deal with climate change. Wealthy countries who've historically been the largest emitters will lead the payments.
