A draft deal at the U.N. Climate Change Conference calls for wealthy nations to give developing ones $250 billion a year starting in 2035.

The COP29 talks have laid bare the divisions between wealthy governments and developing nations reeling from the costs of storms, floods and droughts fueled by climate change.

The first concrete number to be discussed in the two-week conference has triggered anger among developing country delegates as falling far short.

The COP29 climate summit presidency released a draft finance deal on Friday that would have developed nations take the lead in providing $250 billion per year by 2035 to help poorer nations - a proposal that drew criticism from all sides.

A new draft proposal issued on Friday at COP29 in Azerbaijan has called for developing countries to pay $250 billion annually to climate finance poorer nations.
