Le Monde: 'COPs are part of the barrier against the populist storm that is sweeping the planet'
The COP29 climate talks concluded with a minimal agreement, calling for developed nations to mobilize $300 billion annually by 2035 for developing countries. However, this falls short of the Global South's demands and delays discussions on phasing out fossil fuels, a major contributor to climate change.
Developing nations accepted the agreement despite its insufficiency due to limited options and the need to maintain multilateralism amid geopolitical tensions. The outcome reflects the challenges of balancing financial commitments and ambitious climate action, suggesting that COPs serve more as platforms for discussion than solutions to the climate crisis.
