The latest on the U.N. climate summit COP26 in Glasgow:
GLASGOW, Scotland — Developed nations will start making good on their joint pledge of $100 billion in annual climate aid to developing nations next year, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said Friday.
That’s at least a year earlier than some estimates. “So there is genuine progress,” Kerry told reporters at a press conference, listing advancements that have moved climate efforts forward over the past year.
The United States and other developed nations committed to the financing pledge under the landmark 2015 Paris climate accord.
