Rush to seal $300bn finance agreement at COP29 after walkouts and a late holdout by India
The $300bn deal for rich countries to help poorer nations struck at the UN climate summit early Sunday was only reached through frantic diplomacy, including a high-level meeting the night before in a VIP room of the Baku stadium.
The talks had earlier almost collapsed after a group of about 80 countries vulnerable to climate change walked out of a critical meeting. The final plenary was suspended multiple times to allow informal talks between countries, with ministers and heads of delegations huddled in groups in the giant meeting room, poring over potential compromises.
