'Nine years after the Paris agreement, and after 11 months of multilateral diplomacy...we have a deal... the world's industrialised nations will provide $300bn, which, combined with resources... will reach $1.3tn in climate financing this year.'
'This deal may be imperfect. It does not keep everyone happy. But it is a major step forward from the $100bn pledged in Paris back in 2015.'
'Emerging markets and small island states are not responsible for climate change and many rejected this draft figure as insufficient... the $300bn now agreed is an upgrade from the $250bn proposed a day earlier.'
'But clearly it is far short of the $1tn widely and scientifically agreed to be the minimum needed to avert catastrophic human-made climate change.'
