What challenges did developing countries face?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Developing nations criticized the lack of equity and ambition. While the $300 billion could act as a seed fund for larger investments, history offers little hope.<\/li>\n
  2. Even the OECD acknowledged the need for new, effective financing strategies post-2025, but CoP 29 failed to provide a clear roadmap.<\/li>\n
  3. Initiatives like the International Solar Alliance (ISA), led by India, reflect the Global South’s efforts to address climate challenges independently. However, these efforts cannot replace the funding commitments from developed nations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
