Climate change conference COP29 has wrapped up with a significant but controversial final agreement.

Negotiations came down to the wire over a US$1.3 trillion to help finance poorer countries to deal with the impacts of climate change and cut emissions.

But, only about $300 billion of that target will come from direct payments or loans from richer countries – which has sparked backlash from nations in the direct line of fire from rising sea levels and increasing temperatures.

So what does this deal actually mean, and is getting a deal better than no deal at all?

Today on The Front Page, University of Canterbury Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Bronwyn Hayward is with us to discuss the details.
