“We are concerned about the gap between the available funding and the actual needs of developing countries as well as the obstacles that our countries face to have access to it,” Sisi said during his speech at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) which is being held in Glasgow from Monday to Tuesday, Xinhua news agency reported.
