By November 18, 2024No Comments1 min read

Baku, Azerbaijan | AFP – The EU’s climate commissioner on Monday said the bloc would take the lead in paying climate finance to poorer countries, but major wealthy polluters also had a responsibility to contribute.

“We will continue to lead, to do our fair share, and even more than our fair share, as we’ve always done,” Wopke Hoekstra told reporters at the COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan.
