<h1>BASIC urges developed countries to fulfill Article 9.1 finance, tech transfer and capacity obligations; warns trade measures breach Article 3.5</h1> A BASIC member state reiterated at COP30 that developed countries must meet legal obligations on climate finance, technology transfer and capacity building under Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement, urging a clear definition of climate finance and a fifteen-fold increase in adaptation funding. It demanded removal of IP and market barriers to technology transfer, reaffirmed common but differentiated responsibilities as the Paris framework's cornerstone, and warned that unilateral trade measures-citing a regional carbon border mechanism-risk protectionism and contravene UNFCCC Article 3.5. An LMDC member's proposal on such measures and other finance and transparency issues is being handled through Presidency consultations.
