Hey there! Have you ever thought about how countries work together to help our planet? 🌎 Right now, leaders from around the world are meeting at a big event called COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. They’re trying to agree on how to fight climate change, but things are a bit stuck!
What’s Going On?
They’ve just released two new plans, but there’s a catch—they can’t agree on how much money is needed or who should pay it! Both plans say we might need up to a trillion dollars every year to help countries that need it most deal with global warming. That’s like having a thousand billion dollars! 😲 But the exact amount? They left it blank, writing an “X” instead.
Why Can’t They Agree?
The big question is: Should richer countries pay more because they’ve used more energy in the past? Or should everyone share the cost equally? It’s a bit like when you’re sharing the cost of a gift with friends and can’t decide who pays how much. 🎁
Tick-Tock! ⏰
There’s only one day left to make a decision, and time is running out! Li Shuo, a climate expert, said, “The new plans are very different, and there’s not much middle ground.” This means they need to find a compromise to help our planet.
Why Does This Matter?
Climate change affects all of us—like more extreme weather or animals losing their homes. If countries can’t agree on how to fund solutions, it might be harder to protect our Earth. 🌱
What Can You Do?
Even though you’re young, you can make a difference! You can recycle, save energy, and tell others why protecting the planet is important. Maybe one day, you’ll be part of these big talks! 🌟
Let’s hope they find a solution soon for the sake of our planet! 🤞
