The summit has agreed for richer countries to aim for $300bn in funding per year to support poorer countries dealing with the impact of climate change.
It is a far cry from the $1.3trn experts say is needed, and from the $500bn that vulnerable countries like Uganda had said they would be willing to accept.

Uganda will be just fine. They saw a bunch of chumps and tried to take them for all they’re worth.
Thieves.....legalized theft.
The Chinese have made solar panels dirt cheap and even ‘poor’ nations can afford them.
These ‘poor’ nations are blessed with an abundance of sunshine that ‘rich’ nations like the UK and Germany and ‘rich’ areas like the Northeastern US lack.
‘Poor’ nations will be bathed in golden sunshine long after all existing British, German and Danish wind turbines are junked.
Biggest Scam EVER
“knowing they could not afford to live without it”
Strange...they got along fine without it for decades.
“vulnerable countries” my ass.
They’re the nation’s equivalent of welfare queens.
How much of this $300B is the US committing?

If not, won’t Trump simply ignore the agreement?
Uganda…been there.
Wonderful, beautiful, nice people.
Who will work every angle to get a dollar out of your pocket..with a smile on their face. It’s not malice, it’s their culture.
Kenya is exactly the same.
No more money for the next 100 years.
Way past time to get rid of the UN
