Climate Finance Background

The document outlines the deadlock at SB62 over climate finance, where the G77 and Arab Group pushed for accountability and structural reform of international finance, while the Umbrella Group emphasized private investment. No clear way forward was reached on providing financial resources, leaving the operationalization of the US$1.3 trillion target and adaptation finance gaps to be addressed through further consultations and at COP30.

• Negotiations at COP29 and SB62 focused on increasing annual climate finance, with targets moving from US$100 billion to US$300 billion via the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG), and a further push for a US$1.3 trillion goal as a more accurate reflection of needs.
• SB62 discussions failed to produce a clear path forward on financial resources due to conflicting party positions: the G77 sought accountability for developed countries under Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement and warned that private loan-based finance exacerbates debt in developing nations, while the Umbrella Group advocated for bridging the finance gap through private investments.
• Specific proposals for adaptation finance included the G77's request for funds to be released within 6 days of a request and the Arab Group's suggestion to redirect funds from the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism toward adaptation.
