this time of finance is clearly this said with good and definition. but it's, what it's coming out is a fraction of the developing was needs as hundreds of thousands are on the dangerous margins of furniture that a t and, and so i, you know, i say that burners energy should not become a defensive the initial stockman. welcome to d, w. use asia. glad you can join us top climate on voice meeting and berlin. this week we're debating a call for new ambitious targets on renewable energy that would quote, ring to the end of the fossil fuel age. the appeal from germany's foreign minister and the lena bear box dominated discussions at the petersburg a dialogue, a preview to the cop $28.00 talks set for november and united arab emirates.
7:18 pm
germany's proposal flip the script of previous negotiations, which focused on a deadline to face out fossil fuels. major oil and gas exporting countries had resisted such a commitment. but the host of upcoming cop 28, demanded accountability on past promises. specifically, funding for countries hardest hit by climate change, many in the global south. and he may have got it developing countries, i'm still waiting for the $100000000.00 promised by develop countries 14 years ago . this is holding up progress on as part of my outreach, i am requesting the companies to provide a definitive assessment on the delivery of this commitment before. comp 20 you go to knock. this is the good news is, as it stands now, i'm,
7:19 pm
we are on the way to finally reach this $100000000000.00 us dollars some the field new job estella at horizon cutting 4 countries like pockets on that funding can come soon enough. the south asian nation is already in the midst of heat waves, and when a fear that the upcoming upcoming monsoon season will bring another bout of floods last year, excess of rainfall put one 3rd of pockets done under water. killed close to 2000 people and displaced 33000000 others, and millions of homes were damaged or destroyed. the will bank has estimated total costs for reconstruction and rehabilitation at around $60000000000.00 us dollars. scientists have since concluded that the heavy rainfall was made more likely by climate change, a pockets don's clement envoy, it was at the petersburg, clement dialogue in berlin. my colleague, brush banner g at spoke with her earlier about her view on the current state of
7:20 pm
climate finance and driving me now as far as the federal administer for climate change out in the bottom on the chevy rep on administer amount. you're in berlin uh, attending the petersburg the climate dialogue way. it's been revealed that a promise of a $100000000000.00 that was made 14 years ago when potentially be met. only b c a. i mean, what does that tell you about the commitment of richer nations to the climate change needs of the global folks to yes, thank you very much. uh and uh, what is the binding up to be unimportant time administrative as the going to cop $28.00? i think we are here to do more than one thing. one is to make sure that our goals are all collectively aligned to the status agreement and in terms of production of the emissions. because, you know, countries like us burn faster than others. it can be on the front lines, the heart of the country, the words he is running. and you asked me about of commitments,
7:21 pm
financial commitment to climate finance, and adaptation as a burden sharing. the issue is, is big on online and it has been squarely on the agenda. so i think it's been a struggle to get climate finance and adaptation finance up there as a major issue to be not just on fact, but to move forward. connectivity a as a common challenge now when you asked me what 100000100 be now being discuss. now 14 is vito. let's open the better late than never. i'm not sure that it's for need on the accelerated quantum needs off of developing countries as view based awards of very, very long and unpredictable future good. that is going to place countries and
7:22 pm
entire populations in the, in the face on the process of repeated time. and shocks. so companies like ours, i've been, you know, i know what is known as a resilience recovery trap. because before we can even recover from a cataclysmic record breaking slide event, which was last year that impacted 13000000 people. before we are able to view this width resilience and you know, resilience is off the $1.00 of norma development and resilient development is $4.00 . so it's cost feed. the pipeline to time in finance is clearly beset with good in definitions. but if what is coming out is a fraction of the developing was needs as hundreds of thousands are on a dangerous margins of funder, that a t and, and so i, you know, i say that bundle of energy should not become a death sentence. it's very clear that there is a v source of gap here,
7:23 pm
but beyond that, the ways and means to accessing that, everyone agreeing on what and how these funds would be pretty good. is still something on the table. and um, you know, and then there's a high element of best vision in the room. i remind myself and none of those that we are not here to quite each other. we are here to fight climate change. and it is important to remember that a conflict does not serve any purpose. we are here to de escalate any uh, well climate impacts and shocks that countries fees. but we should also remember that what goes on in one country and i focused on does not stay in one country speak time and shocks. and risk will continue growing as an accelerated base if we don't, to move, to build resilience to the models of development that we are,
7:24 pm
are trying desperately to get access to because of the climate financing. jo court . right? speaking of climate finance and used to be a headed, a group of $77.00 nations of the cop $27.00 and shot them out of shape grand. for the 1st time, a loss of damage fund was set up when to climate vulnerable countries like yours begin to receive any money from that part. a. yes, excellent question. that is just what i was asking in the break. i group people not really. uh, you know, given too much space to speak in the penalties of but the breakout groups were all about uh, um, asking such questions and i'm noting that as the, as the control center, most of the company is a very strong it is ation among the but it's been countries, i'm the incoming presidency as well up to the 8th and the way that we have a we have a problem on our hands who capitalizes the loss and damage funds when it gets
7:25 pm
triggered, slow onset events or not. and wherever they move, in terms of uh which, which uh, definition of vulnerability, but it move on and, and really what are the funding arrangements and what is the fun just to go back to a point that you were making a while back uh, administer around on uh, because of the petersburg clement dialogue it treated this as well. we are aligned with by this commitment. but is everyone else? what did you mean by that? the day, clearly the best commitments mean a lot of things, but the 2 things they mean is that add a patient needs to be front and center. it also means that there has to be dr. mcgee, or funding arrangements of i'm not talking but the loss and damage fund would be in spoken about that's a separate issue. but that to also needs to be capitalized so that i moved forward
7:26 pm
and not put in an endless sea of negotiations. because when a stalemate like that takes the fall or a lease from the, the actual funded that was created, then i or it's not funded, then it lapses into one of those goals. tons that then don't to be a for years, but i part of a commitment. so you don't want that to become a goals funding. you also don't want um you know, countries that mid legit instead just to feel that you know, resources are being squeezed and they have to be creative ways of coming up with financing status agreement also says and, and we have talked extensively about that and there are very good ideas on the table and so i'm not so good ideas. but having said that, it is very important to, to know that resilience is, is not something that you can just create off the shift every development donna,
7:27 pm
a resilience add on for dollars to be developing dollars. so it's an expensive business, and then the button to has to be shed that fund. the unofficial fund has not been capitalized by this also promised. countries that are emitting a need to scale down then emissions on a certain project pre. so it's from what i can see, and the present dish to be sort of the science of it tells us that we are with foss, keeping $1.00 and live a, which means that countries like of which are on 2 such as equator or do graphical equations locations, list a list for bed, obviously and, and the dining and mentors. so we feel we're going to feel the bund faster than others. and i think these are concerns that needed to be shared as do the buttons of without making people feel that'd be gone. a frame common ground in which we move forward, as i said, been not here to fight each other. we are here to fight climate change and that's
7:28 pm
good. we need to move forward with that as google, as well as the shy much shape lawson damage fund were leave a day for the timing, but thank you so much for your time. show you them on focused on the federal minutes of a climate change and environment. thank you ma'am. now here's a look at some other climate stories making news. in asia, us climate envoy, john kerry, has said that china has invited him to visit in the near term for talks on averting the global climate crisis. carrie said in an interview with waiters news agency that the white house has authorized the meeting. despite tense diplomatic relations between the 2 countries. there's no issue about whether or not we should be. we understand that we're the 2 largest economies in the world where the 2 largest emitters of the greenhouse gases in the world this, this, this problem cannot be solved without china and united states helping to work
