Small islands join forces on debt relief ahead of climate talks

Reuters exclusively reported that the world’s small island states plan to join forces to push for debt relief and more climate investment ahead of this year’s COP29 climate summit, part of a 10-year strategy to help save some of them from extinction.

Market Impact

Agreeing how much richer countries will spend annually to help developing countries, including the island states, will be in focus at the November COP29 talks in Azerbaijan and comes amid an overhaul of the international financial architecture.
