Summary

At the Cop29 climate talks, delegates from poorer nations argue that China and India should no longer be classified as developing countries due to their economic growth and ability to contribute to climate finance.

They believe that these countries should take on additional responsibility for providing financial assistance to the poorest and most vulnerable nations.

However, China and India reject these suggestions, citing their lower per capita incomes and historic emissions.

      Do you consider how fast trains go the highest measure for a developing country? Honest question as I think some countries would be stepping out of developed and into impoverished. But hey we measure up so “train go zoom” is where its at?

        Yes, the quality of infrastructure means that a country is developed. You are 100% right that fast trains means that. Good job!
