Ambition without means is inadequate, says VP Chiwenga

VICE-PRESIDENT Constantino Chiwenga has told world leaders at the COP31 Leaders’ Summit that developed countries must turn their climate finance pledges into transparent and measurable financial flows, warning that ambition without means is inadequate.

Speaking on behalf of President Emmerson Mnangagwa in Antalya, Turkiye, Chiwenga said the commitment to mobilise at least US$300 billion annually under the Paris Agreement must be honoured, with developed countries taking the lead.

“Commitments must be honoured and measurable,” he said.
