    INTERVIEW: Climate finance gap for Pacific nations revealed in new report
    2024/11/14
    A new report has calculated how much annual climate finance is needed to flow from rich nations to Pacific countries.

Report co-author Damian Spruce from Caritas Australia spoke to Biwa Kwan about the report's findings as world leaders at COP29 negotiate a deal for a new climate finance target.
