Meanwhile, developed countries argue it shouldn\u2019t be just them paying and want the focus to be first on broadening the list of contributors.<\/p>\n<h3>Moving past contentious $100bn target<\/h3>\n<p>Experts say acrimony over the existing $100-billion annual target &#8211; which the new goal is set to replace &#8211; makes finding common ground more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Developed countries failed to provide that promised yearly sum to developing nations by the initial 2020 deadline and, again, in 2021. They now \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/11\/17\/oecd-rich-countries-likely-to-hit-100bn-climate-finance-goal-in-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">look likely\u201d<\/a> to have met the goal in 2022, according to an assessment by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) based on preliminary data that is not publicly available.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2024\/02\/16\/loss-and-damage-must-be-a-focus-of-ipccs-next-reports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Comment:<\/strong> Loss and damage must be a focus of IPCC\u2019s next reports<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new collective quantified goal (NCQG) is due to be agreed at this year\u2019s climate summit. The decision will be especially important for vulnerable countries that want to know how much money they are likely to receive as they draft their new climate plans due in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Two things <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/resource\/docs\/2015\/cop21\/eng\/10a01.pdf#page=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are certain<\/a>: It needs to be more than $100 billion a year and take into account the priorities of developing countries. Everything else is still to play for.<\/p>\n<p>After several meetings in the last two years, negotiators <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/sites\/default\/files\/resource\/cma2023_11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">produced<\/a> dozens of options across the main issues at stake.\u00a0They now need to narrow those down to hand politicians a draft text with the most contentious issues to be fought over in Baku in November.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/topics\/climate-finance\/workstreams\/NCQG\/submissions-from-parties-and-non-party-stakeholders#__24-Submissions-by-Parties-and-non-Party-stakeholders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New submissions<\/a> made by countries this month give an insight into how they think those discussions should play out.<\/p>\n<h3>How big should the goal be?<\/h3>\n<p>Determining the exact size of the new goal is one of the thorniest elements to untangle.<\/p>\n<p>The final figure will vary depending on the answers to a series of interconnected, and still unresolved, questions: What is the timeframe? Does it need to fund only emissions-cutting and adaptation measures, or loss and damage too? Will it include private finance?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe $100 billion was just a political number, while the new goal needs to rely on science and an assessment of actual needs,\u201d said Natalia Alayza, a climate finance expert at WRI, a US-based think-tank.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2024\/02\/15\/switzerland-proposes-first-un-expert-group-on-solar-geoengineering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Switzerland proposes<\/strong> first UN expert group on solar geoengineering<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The sources used to work that out will play a crucial role.

Rich countries argued that high-emitting nations like China, South Korea, Russia and the Gulf petrostates should contribute. In the end, developing nations were only \u201cencouraged\u201d to do so \u201con a voluntary basis\u201d. The United Arab Emirates, host of Cop28, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2023\/11\/30\/countries-pledge-400m-to-set-up-loss-and-damage-fund\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pledged<\/a> $100 million to the new fund.<\/p>\n<p>Most developing countries still strongly oppose any changes to the contributor base. They argue that the 2015 Paris Agreement puts the responsibility of fulfilling the climate finance goal squarely on the shoulders of rich governments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear that they are attempting to shift the burden,\u201d said Kaloga.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2024\/02\/13\/shell-accused-of-trying-to-wash-hands-of-nigerian-oil-spill-mess\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Shell accused<\/strong> of trying to wash hands of Nigerian oil spill mess<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But developed countries point the finger at another section of the landmark Paris text. Article 2.1 calls for \u201cmaking financial flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development\u201d. They claim this provides cover for their argument that everyone should pay for climate action.<\/p>\n<p>ODI&#8217;s Robertson doesn\u2019t see any realistic legal avenue to compel additional countries to stump up the cash for the goal. \u201cEither nations self-declare that they now consider themselves \u2018developed\u2019 or all 195 parties agree to amend the Paris Agreement and redefine, top-down, who is and isn\u2019t a developed country,\u201d he said. \u201cBoth options seem impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Tracking delivery of pledges<\/h3>\n<p>Heated negotiations are also expected over the transparency arrangements to monitor if and how the money is delivered.<\/p>\n<p>The earlier $100-billion pledge came with no official rules on what activities could be counted. As Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigates\/special-report\/climate-change-finance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discovered<\/a>, Italy provided money to a retailer opening gelato stores across Asia and Japan financed a new coal plant in Bangladesh. Both projects were included in the countries&#8217; contributions towards the $100-billion goal.<\/p>\n<p>The fundamental issue is that there is no internationally agreed understanding of what climate finance means.<\/p>\n<p>Most developing countries are pushing for a common definition to be included in the new goal to be set at Cop29, alongside strict rules that prevent any accounting tricks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Transparency is one of the biggest lessons to learn from the $100-billion goal. Not only we don&#8217;t\u00a0know if it&#8217;s been met, but how it&#8217;s been met,&#8221; said WRI&#8217;s Alayza. &#8220;We need to ensure that data is comparable, accurate and consistent &#8211; and accurately reflects what has been provided.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Developed and developing countries are gearing up for heated discussions over the size of the
