By 2030, rich nations should increase spending to help poor countries counter global warming from $200 billion to $400 billion a year. So says the UN report, which was prepared for the Dubai conference.
Similar deadlines have been set for stopping fossil fuel extraction. There are also plans to triple the capacity of renewable sources by 2030 and double the efficiency of their use across the planet, and to zero carbon emissions by 2050. But there is no guarantee that these initiatives will be on the summit agenda.
These measures should prevent global temperatures from rising by 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The UN set this target when it concluded the Paris Agreement in 2015. In addition, it is necessary to check how states are progressing in combating carbon emissions every 5 years.
