Several environmental organizations are disappointed with the COP29 agreement, which was reached late Saturday Danish time. They believe that the agreement is insufficient and a step backwards for the climate. This is stated by, among others, the WWF World Wide Fund for Nature in a press release.
- The whole world has been let down by this agreement on climate finance. At this crucial moment for the planet, this failure threatens to set back global climate efforts, says Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, global climate manager at WWF, in the release.
During the climate summit, a new climate finance target was the most important item on the agenda.
Here it was agreed that the richest countries must pay 300 billion dollars - equivalent to 2100 billion DKK - per year by 2035 in climate aid to developing countries. The World Wildlife Fund believes that the target is too low and that it will require "significantly more funds".
That is also the conclusion of Oxfarm Denmark. Mads Busck, a climate policy advisor at the organization, believes that the amount is not high enough if the world's climate disasters are to be kept at a manageable level.
- The agreement reached at COP29 is a scandalous failure towards the global south, which is suffering from the catastrophic consequences of a climate crisis that they did not create themselves, it says in a written response.
At the same time, Greenpeace believes that it is unacceptable that during the climate summit no emphasis was placed on the need to phase out fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions.
- The fossil fuel industry has been spared any responsibility, and they will laugh all the way to the bank, says Tracy Carty, a climate policy expert at Greenpeace, in a press release.
