Bangladesh urges grant-based climate finance at COP31
Original: Bangladesh urges grant-based climate finance and faster fund access at COP31
Bangladesh is pressing for climate finance to be delivered as grants rather than loans, and for faster access to existing funds, at the COP31 climate negotiations. The country, among the most vulnerable to flooding and cyclones, argues that debt-creating loans deepen its climate burden. Its position reflects wider calls from developing nations for simpler, quicker disbursement of adaptation funding agreed in earlier climate summits.
Why now: Ongoing COP31 climate negotiations have put finance for vulnerable countries at the centre of debate.
