At the climate summit, Switzerland is pursuing the goal of increasing the number of donor countries for investments in global climate protection. All countries should contribute to financing "according to their means", especially "wealthy countries with high greenhouse gas emissions".
This was announced by the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) ahead of the conference. Not only industrialized countries should pay, but also countries such as China or Saudi Arabia, the FOEN specified on request. In the Azerbaijani capital Baku, it is also planned to adopt rules for the implementation of a global market mechanism.
Federal Councillor Albert Rösti intends to attend COP29 in the second week of the conference, as has been known since September.
