UN climate fund wants Asia to step up support after US withdrawal

The United Nations' Green Climate Fund is seeking increased financial support from Asian countries, aiming to raise over $10 billion to address climate-related challenges such as droughts and floods. Mafalda Duarte, the fund's executive director, has urged both developed and developing nations to contribute more, noting that current donors have potential to increase their commitments. This comes amid the U.S. withdrawal from the initiative, creating a gap that the fund hopes Asia will help fill. The call for additional funding highlights the growing need for international cooperation to combat climate change impacts in vulnerable regions.
