COP29: In a tense geopolitical context, is the Climate Finance target under threat? Discover the Observatory’s new note

With just a few days to go before the start of COP29 in Baku, the Observatory Blog is publishing a new note on the issues at stake for the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference.

The 29th UN Climate Change Conference takes place from 4 to 22 November 2024.

The latest analysis from the Observatory Blog looks at the issues at stake at COP29, just a few days before it gets underway in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

It analyses the priorities of the negotiations, in a particularly complex and tense context: rising emissions, intensifying impacts of climate change and geopolitical tensions.

Summary:

  • Context: Rising emissions and intensifying impacts
  • The NCQG: High stakes, high expectations
