Africa pushes adaptation finance onto COP31 agenda
Original: Africa wants adaptation finance on COP31 agenda, raising risk of a fight
African countries are calling for adaptation finance to be placed formally on the agenda of the COP31 climate summit, setting up a potential confrontation with developed nations reluctant to expand funding commitments. The dispute highlights long-running tensions over who pays for helping vulnerable countries cope with climate impacts such as droughts and floods.
Why now: Adaptation funding is a persistent sticking point ahead of UN climate talks, and Africa's demand threatens to reopen that fight at COP31.
