COP29 UN climate talks wrap up in Baku

China Daily  

A night view shows the venue of the United Nations climate change conference, known as COP29, in Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov 11, 2024. The COP29 United Nations climate change negotiations stumbled toward Friday's deadline, with a draft target of climate finance to developing nations falling far short of expectations. A key task of the UN gathering, which kicked off on Nov 11 in Baku, Azerbaijan, is to establish a 2025-35 climate finance commitment from developed nations to developing countries, which is officially known as the New Collective Quantified Goal. On Friday afternoon, the COP29 presidency released a new-draft climate finance deal proposal that would have developed nations take the lead in providing $250 billion per year by 2035. Wang Yi, vice-chair of China's National Expert Panel on Climate Change, said the proposed amount is not enough to achieve the goal of keeping temperature increases this century well below 1.5 C, or even below 2 C. However, he stressed that the texts need to take into account the concerns of different parties, and it's an oft-seen scenario where negotiated agreements end up leaving everyone feeling somewhat unsatisfied, but it was ultimately the only viable solution.
