“More than just hurting COP30, it will hurt the life of all of us and hurt the conditions that give us life on Earth. More than just for our lives, is the possibility that we are disequilibrating the conditions that give us a life on Earth."

STORYLINE:
Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva proposed Friday raising to $300 billion the amount that developed countries would contribute as part of a new deal on cash to curb and adapt to climate change, which would move the world closer to the $1.3 trillion per year that many developing countries are demanding.
When asked whether a lack of an ambition agreement at COP29 would put Brazil in a bad position going into COP39, Silva said the consequences were much bigger than a conference.
“More than just hurting COP30, it will hurt the life of all of us and hurt the conditions that give us life on Earth," she said.
The draft deal released Friday afternoon at the United Nations climate summit pledged $250 billion by 2035 from wealthy countries to poorer ones. The amount pleases the countries who will be paying, but not those on the receiving end.
The amount is more than double the previous goal of $100 billion a year set 15 years ago, but it’s less than a quarter of the number requested by developing nations struck hardest by extreme weather. But rich nations say the number is about the limit of what they can do, saying it’s realistic and a stretch for democracies back home to stomach.
