Climate talks face ‘monumental challenge’ to deliver on goals – Sharma

Alok Sharma says negations around finance to help developing countries mitigate and adapt to climate change “need to accelerate and they need to accelerate now” as the Cop26 summit enters its final days.

The failure of developed nations to deliver the long-promised $100bn in finance to poorer nations has been a major sticking point in the talks so far.
