Climate Fund Negotiations Seek $1.7 Billion to Support Developing Nations
What happened
Funding negotiations are currently taking place in Kigali during the 38th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, aimed at sustaining global efforts to curb emissions and protect the ozone layer. The Technology and Economic Assessment Panel estimates funding requirements for 2027-2029 to be between $1.230 billion and $1.692 billion, including support costs.

Why it matters
The negotiations concern the replenishment of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol, which supports developing countries. The money is intended to help these nations meet commitments to phase out hydrochlorofluorocarbons and reduce hydrofluorocarbons, powerful greenhouse gases widely used in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
