As ECO leaves SB60 seeing no progress achieved in the Ad Hoc Work Programme on the NCQG, here’s our sad, sad song to Parties…
(to the tune of Elton John’s ‘Sorry seems to be the hardest word”…)
What do I got to do to make you fund me?
What do I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when TEDs just dodge me?
And in each and every session you’re not there
What do I do to make you want me?
What do I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when AHWP’s over?
Quantum seems to be the hardest word
It’s sad (so sad) so sad
It’s a sad sad situation
And it’s getting more and more absurd [it really is!]
It’s sad (so sad) so sad
Why can’t we talk it over [well in advance of COP29]?
Oh, it seems to me that the quantum seems to be the hardest word…
ECO thinks we need to urgently hear much, much more from developed countries about just how much the climate finance goal should actually be based on needs in developing countries. Over to you.
