As we are waiting for #cop16 to close in Rome, there is a curious reduction in the amount of GBFF pledges from USD396mn as tallied together in Cali to USD382mn in the latest financial mechanism text. Where did the 14mn go?

🧵As the Government unveils plans to boost clean power, worth noting how much public sentiment has shifted to seeing clean energy not just as good, but as a no-brainer. All voter groups (inc Reform) are more likely to think renewables will cut cost of living than raise it

COP29 was always going to be measured by two yardsticks: the ambition around the reset of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and the amount of finance agreed to help developing countries mitigate, adapt to and compensate for losses from climate change.
