No developing country will fall for this. What trick is the presidency trying to pull? They\u2019ve already disappointed everyone, but they have now angered and offended the developing world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe figure of $250 billion is about 20% of what developing countries have asked for. Are we really settling for a fifth of the ambition needed to tackle the climate crisis? It seems that building an ambitious climate finance outcome in Baku is not the ballgame this presidency is playing.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need developed countries to grab the bull by the horns and put forward a number that reflects the actual needs of developing countries.
