Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports that many rich governments have not yet set out climate finance plans beyond this year or next, which it says leaves developing countries unable to plan. It attributes its projections to analysis by the NRDC, E3G and Carbon Brief, and sets the Carbon Brief scenario of 70% cuts against Joe Thwaites's view that it is unlikely. It quotes responses from France's AFD and Japan and says it contacted Australia and Germany.
“to help them cope with the effects of extreme weather and shift to a low-carbon future”
The article tells the reader what the climate finance is for, so the money is not presented as pure cost.
“Further analysis by Carbon Brief suggested that if countries failed to implement any new climate finance after their current targets expire”
The 70% cut figure is attributed to its source and framed as a conditional scenario, not stated as a forecast. The next sentence gives Thwaites's view that this outcome is unlikely.
“Australia was contacted for comment, as was Germany.”
The article says plainly which governments it approached. It quotes the responses it did receive from France's AFD and from Japan at length.
