Taipei has a fantastic bus network, and every single stop I’ve been to has some sort of real-time arrival display. Even stops that probably don’t get much use have E Ink displays with always on backlights. So cool.

+CLIMATE FINANCE TARGET AGREED AT COP29+
Several draft texts swirled around last night, and a day of fraught negotiations resulted in this:
💰 Core goal of "at least" $300bn/year for developing countries
💰Developed countries "take the lead". Developing can contribute voluntarily

The Arctic's Uncertain Future - Eos
Over the next century, the Arctic will change and look much different than it does today. Just how different is still unknown.

12 months of negotiations, 2 weeks of intense negotiations at COP29 & overrun of 33 hours & all we get is $300 billion per year pledge by 2035 to help developing countries transition away from fossil fuels. No where near the $1.3 trillion requested or $3 trillion per year that is actually needed
