The 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29)

This year, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22, 2024.

As every year, the primary issue will be accelerating measures to combat the climate crisis. This year, the discussion will mainly focus on the issue of financing, as trillions of dollars are needed for countries to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and fight the effects of climate change.

Furthermore, Parties will need to present their updated national action plans for 2025, in accordance with the Paris Agreement adopted at COP21 in 2015. These plans should include measures taken by states to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
