Climate Finance Concerns Ahead of COP30
Rich countries aren't paying to fight climate change as they promised.
Not much money goes to farming that doesn't destroy forests, even though that's a big problem.
Instead, some people want to use ways of making money to help the climate, which Brazil doesn't trust.
Even the adults' meetings about climate change are struggling because of disagreements over money.
Few countries have updated their plans to help the climate.
Wealthier nations have delayed financing climate initiatives.
Less than 5% of climate finance targets sustainable agriculture, despite its link to deforestation.
Finance proposals prioritize market-driven offsets, which Brazil warns against.
Bonn climate negotiations faced a deadlock over climate finance.
Only 21 nations have updated their climate action plans.
