❖ But the developing countries had been asking for the NCQG to be set at 1.3 trillion dollars every year.

❖ The target, or new collective quantified goal (NCQG), will replace the existing $100 billion goal that is due to expire in 2025.

❖ India does not accept the goal proposal in its present form.
