Historically, only 40% of the funding available for climate change has gone towards this. As well as the promise of $300bn (£238bn), nations agreed that $1.3tn is needed by 2035 to also help prevent climate change.

Optimism, on the other hand, is a powerful force for national progress. Countries like South Korea, Singapore, and Rwanda have shown that a belief in national potential, even in the face of adversity, is essential for overcoming challenges and achieving remarkable success.
