Sustainable development and governance

Research output: Articles: Journal and Newspaper › Newspaper - Comment, Debate

Abstract

Within a few months, the COP30 climate summit will take place in the city of Belém in Brazil. One of the main issues on the agenda in November will be the plans for nationally determined contributions (NDCs), which play a key role in the Paris Agreement. Researchers at the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) Ole Winkler Andersen and Rasmus Hundsbæk Pedersen argue that it all comes down to climate finance.
