The head of climate change at the UN has warned that world leaders are still “far away” from securing a deal to limit the disastrous effects of global heating, with less than five months to go before a key summit in Glasgow.
Time is now running out, said Patricia Espinosa, who was formerly foreign minister of Mexico but now leads the UN on climate policy. She told the Observer that although advances had been made at the G7 meeting in Cornwall last weekend, progress had not been made on honouring past commitments to find $100bn (£72.5bn) a year to help developing countries invest in green technologies.
The G7 had offered hope that this process could be boosted in advance of Cop26, but Espinosa expressed disappointment, saying: “Regarding finance, I’d have really hoped for a clearer signal on how and when we will be able to see the commitment to mobilise the $100bn fulfilled.”
Honouring the pledge is seen as critical if developing countries are to come into line with plans to cut emissions and take costly steps necessary to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. At the G7, there were commitments to get to the target before Cop26, but a lack of detail remained about precisely how much money wealthier nations would be willing to give.

Pfffttttt! A mere 72 billion pound deal? Now if you could bump that up to a trillion, they they could bitch about it. Surely pedo joe can get that added to the US infrastructure legislation. Unless it’s already in there. Besides, the climate ain’t going anywhere. Nor is the planet. At least until the sun goes super nova.
Scummy third world UN thieves are pissed that the opportunity to skim and get kickbacks on all those billions didn’t happen.
UNaccountable bureaucrats
A: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
UN waiting for cash cow from the US to come rolling in
I think they mean steal.
That’s exactly what their grip is.....the revenue flow needs to pick up so they can feather their pockets. Un is a dastardly group of the worst corruption!
