20 Nations Pledge To End Funding Fossil Fuels Abroad

At the climate summit in Scotland, 20 countries pledged to stop funding fossil fuel projects overseas. The focus was on phasing out coal to meet the Paris Agreement goals, though major coal-dependent countries like China did not commit. The UK faces challenges in adopting renewable energy, with climate change impacting farmers. The US and 19 other countries signed a clean energy deal, but China and India were notably absent. The transition to renewable energy is complex and costly, with significant technological and economic challenges.
