Last day of climate meeting: "A clown show"
Today, the major climate conference COP29 ends in Azerbaijan. There is still no agreement on the global fundraising goal, one of the key issues at the meeting, writes the AP news agency.
The draft agreements that have been drawn up these days have lacked both proposals for sums and who should pay. In a statement late on Thursday evening, host nation Azerbaijan claimed that the outlines of the agreement were "beginning to take shape" and that more concrete proposals were expected on Friday.
Among those upset is Juan Carlos Gomez of Panama's delegation.
- The negotiations are turning into a clown show, he says according to SR Ekot.

The draft: Rich countries must give 250 billion dollars
Rich countries must give 250 billion dollars every year to help poorer countries with climate change. That according to a new draft of a climate agreement at COP29 in Baku, news agencies report.
The proposal sets a goal, which is described as ambitious, of collecting 1 300 billion dollars up to and including 2035, where a large part is expected to come from rich countries, writes AFP.
The draft is the first to contain a concrete amount since the meeting began on November 11.
"Unusually tough" - but cautiously positive minister
The ambition is for the negotiations during COP29 in Baku to end during the day. Climate policy researcher Mathias Fridahl, who acts as an observer during the climate meeting, tells TT that with a "99.9 percent probability" it will drag on. "At the earliest Saturday afternoon, most likely Sunday" is his assessment.
During Friday, a new draft was presented, which means that rich countries will give 250 billion dollars every year to help poorer countries with climate change.
Sweden's climate minister Romina Pourmokhtari (L) is cautiously positive in a written comment:
"We note the proposal to broaden the donor base to also developing countries, as well as a goal of 250 million dollars a year. This could be a step in the right direction.”
Fridahl describes the negotiations as "unusually tight".
- No one will be satisfied with it, everyone will be dissatisfied when they go home, he says.

Fridahl beskriver förhandlingarna som ”ovanligt kärva”.
– Ingen kommer vara nöjd med den, alla kommer vara missnöjda när de åker hem, säger han.
