As the world teeters on the brink of irreversible climate disaster, a shameful spectacle unfolds in Goa, India. Instead of forging a united front to combat the existential threat, wealthy nations are engaged in a petty squabble over who should contribute more to climate finance. This endless blame game, rife with historical injustices and political posturing, serves only to delay crucial action, a luxury our overheating planet can no longer afford.
Developed nations, historically responsible for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions, hide behind technicalities and obscure accounting methods to avoid fulfilling their fair share of responsibility. Meanwhile, developing nations, bearing the brunt of climate impacts despite minimal contribution, are left frustrated and resentful. This unproductive bickering further entrenches existing inequalities, perpetuating a power dynamic that prioritizes political agendas over planetary well-being.
The time for empty promises and finger-pointing is over. The urgency of the climate crisis demands immediate and decisive action, not another round of drawn-out negotiations. Every minute spent arguing over percentages is a minute wasted in the fight for our collective future. Rich nations must acknowledge their historical responsibility and step up with concrete commitments, not veiled excuses. Developing nations, rightfully demanding climate justice, must also recognize the need for collective action and utilize the received funds effectively.
The climate crisis is not a spectator sport. It requires unity, not division. Let us leave the blame game behind and instead focus on collaborative solutions. We need bold leadership, not petty squabbles. The future of our planet hangs in the balance; Can we rise to the challenge before it's too late?

What then is the point of having these climate summits and forums if all we are going to do is talk and never act

Rich nations have made it a habit to organise climate summits while failing their climate obligations with impunity. They must be held to account

Climate change is a crisis which should not be debated on .I wonder why rich nations would quarrel on who finances more and who finances less ?Rich nations must stand up and support the developing nations fully and without quarrels .Also the developing nations should use the funds given effectively

The finger-pointing in the climate finance talks in Goa, India, only serve to delay much-needed action! The planet will continue to suffer as long these leaders continue to finger point each other!

Rich nations must step up and take charge in creating solutions by financing the less fortunate nations to create a sustainable planet. However the developing nations have to collaborate with the developed nations to make this happen, we only have one planet and must work to save it without finger pointing.
