NoneBAKU, Azerbaijan (AP)—In the wee hours Sunday at the United Nations climate talks, countries from around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can contribute funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. It's a far-from-perfect arrangement, with many parties still deeply unsatisfied but some hopeful that the deal will be a step in the right direction. World Resources Institute president and CEO Ani Dasgupta called it “an important down payment toward a safer, more equitable future,” but he added that the poorest and most vulnerable nations are “rightfully disappointed that wealthier countries didn’t put more money on the table when billions of people’s lives are at stake.” The summit was supposed to end on Friday evening, but negotiations spiraled through early Sunday. With countries on opposite ends of a massive chasm, tensions ran high as delegations tried to close the gap in expectations. Here's how they got there: What was the finance deal agreed at climate talks? Rich countries have agreed to pool together at least $300 billion a year by 2035. It’s not near the full amount of $1.3 trillion that developing countries were asking for, and that experts said was needed. But delegations more optimistic about the agreement said this deal is headed in the right direction, with hopes that more money will flow their way in the future. The text included a call for all parties to work together using “all public and private sources” to get closer to the $1.3 trillion per year goal by 2035. That means also pushing for international mega-banks, funded by taxpayer dollars, to help foot the bill. And it means, hopefully, that companies and private investors will follow suit on channeling cash toward climate action. The agreement is also a critical step toward helping countries on the receiving end create more ambitious targets to limit or cut emissions of heat-trapping gases that are due early next year. It’s part of the plan to keep cutting pollution with new targets every five years, which the world agreed to at the U.N. talks in Paris in 2015. The Paris agreement set the system of regularly ratcheting up climate-fighting ambition as a way to keep warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. The world is already at 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) and carbon emissions keep rising. What will the money be spent on? The deal decided in Baku replaces a previous agreement from 15 years ago that charged rich nations $100 billion a year to help the developing world with climate finance. The new number has similar aims: it will go toward the developing world's long laundry list of to-dos to prepare for a warming world and keep it from getting hotter. That includes paying for the transition to clean energy and away from fossil fuels. Countries need funds to build up the infrastructure needed to deploy technologies like wind and solar power on a large scale. Communities hard-hit by extreme weather also want money to adapt and prepare for events like floods, typhoons and fires. Funds could go toward improving farming practices to make them more resilient to weather extremes, building houses differently with storms in mind, helping people move from the hardest-hit areas, and helping leaders improve emergency plans in the wake of disasters. The Philippines, for example, has been hammered by six major storms in less than a month, bringing howling winds, massive storm surges, and catastrophic damage to millions of homes, not to mention the nation's infrastructure and farmland. “Family farmers need to be financed," said Esther Penunia of the Asian Farmers Association. She described how many have already had to deal with millions of dollars of storm damage, including trees that won't again bear fruit for months or years or animals that died in extreme weather events, wiping out a main source of income. “If you think of a rice farmer who depends on his or her one-hectare farm, rice land, ducks, chickens, vegetables, and it was inundated, there was nothing to harvest,” she said. Why was it so hard to get a deal? Global election results heralding a change in climate leadership, key players inclined to stall climate talks, and a disorganized host country all led to a final crunch that left few happy with a flawed compromise. The ending of COP29 is "reflective of the harder geopolitical terrain the world finds itself in,” said Li Shuo of the Asia Society. He cited U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's recent victory — with his promises to pull the country out of the Paris Agreement — as one reason why the relationship between China and the E.U. will be more consequential for global climate politics moving forward. Developing nations also faced some difficulties agreeing in the final hours, with one Latin American delegation member saying that their group didn't feel properly consulted when small island states had last-minute meetings to try to reach a deal. Negotiators from the developing world took different tacks on the deal until they finally agreed to compromise. Meanwhile, activists ramped up the pressure. Many urged negotiators to stay strong and said that no deal would be better than a bad deal. Ultimately the desire for a deal won out. Some also pointed to the host country as a reason for the struggle. Mohamed Adow, director of climate and energy think tank Power Shift Africa, said Friday that “this COP presidency is one of the worst in recent memory,” calling it “one of the most poorly led and chaotic COP meetings ever.” The presidency said in a statement, “Every hour of the day, we have pulled people together. Every inch of the way, we have pushed for the highest common denominator. We have faced geopolitical headwinds and made every effort to be an honest broker for all sides.” Mr. Shuo retains hope that the opportunities offered by a green economy “make inaction self-defeating” for countries around the world, regardless of their stance on the decision. But it remains to be seen whether the UN talks can deliver more ambition next year. In the meantime, “this COP process needs to recover from Baku,” Mr. Shuo said.

The Indiana Pacers dealt the Warriors their latest playoff blow with a 105-111 win, Myles Turner and Pascal Siakam caused major headaches scoring a combined 43 points. Despite the recent addition of Dennis Schroder the Warriors have now lost four of their last five games including their NBA Cup defeat to the Houston Rockets . Following the latest defeat Curry explained how the team’s performances need to improve , he also criticized his display which saw him score just 10 points. Despite the loss, Curry explained how one man on the side can ‘change the game’ for this struggling Warriors team. Kuminga is a game changer For a while now the performances of Jonathan Kuminga have been praised by many around the NBA including his teammates and coaches at Golden State. NBA expert Bill Simmons believed Kuminga was only getting a chance to shine to boost his trade value with the Warriors looking to bring in Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler . However, it appears this ship has likely sailed and Kuminga is now genuinely being seen as a man that the Warriors should build around. The 22-year-old top-scored for the Warriors in the defeat to the Pacers banking 26 points as well as eight rebounds and four assists. Kuminga’s influence on the team was recently praised by Warriors coach Steve Kerr , and Curry now has also had his say on the hot prospect. Stephen Curry on Kuminga's improved play after Steve Kerr critiqued his shot selection: "He was probably the best player out there in terms of attacking, being decisive. Anytime you're decisive and aggressive, you live with mistakes... We love energetic, confident JK." pic.twitter.com/tLRnejV9cf Speaking to the media Curry said: “He was probably the best player out there in terms of attacking, being decisive. Anytime you’re decisive and aggressive, you live with mistakes by playing in-the-flow offense and taking what the defense gives you. “You saw him getting to the paint and getting another couple of possessions for us. He knocked down his open three, was getting downhill and putting pressure on the rim, doing things that only really he can do on our team.” Curry went on to explain how Kuminga’s performances can help boost the teams’ overall success in the coming games. He continued: “We love energetic, confident JK [Jonathan Kuminga], he can change a game for us like he did and stringing a couple of games like that together will hopefully raise our play and give us a chance to win on any given night.” Why the Warriors must keep Kuminga Since the beginning of December Kuminga has been averaging more than 25 minutes of court time per game, something which looked a long-shot at the beginning of the season. If the Warriors were playing Kuminga more to use him as a boosted trade asset the star has certainly shown his worth, so much so that the Warriors would be silly to move him on. JONATHAN KUMINGA @NBCSAuthentic pic.twitter.com/2nER1uutHb Kuminga is continuing to prove his worth from the Warriors bench but with the numbers he’s dropping, it’s surely a matter of time before coach Kerr has to debate giving him regular starts. Shooting 66.7% from behind the arc in the Pacers defeat shows Kuminga’s versatility, especially as he is more known for driving to the paint. According to StatMuse, Kuminga has played 37 career games where he’s stayed in the game for 30+ minutes. In those games, he averages 20.2 PPG & 5.6 RPG on 54.2 FG%, 41.8 3P%. Curry is seen as one of the best play-makers and shooters in the NBA, and while the two are very different in terms of playing styles it’s interesting to compare the numbers the pair are putting up. While Steph still outscores Kuminga in every metric here, it’s important to realise that Curry is also averaging six minutes per game more than the youngster. The franchise was reportedly looking to get to a ‘win now’ situation but throwing away a future talent in Kuminga to achieve this seems a bad idea. Warriors fans are becoming impatient with poor results and Kuminga seems to be the key to turning that around. This article first appeared on NBA Analysis Network and was syndicated with permission.
