Climate scientists at the COP29 conference in Azerbaijan are focusing on setting new emissions reduction targets and addressing the issue of financing to help achieve these goals. A report released at the conference highlighted China, India, and Indonesia as countries with significant increases in emissions, raising concerns among climate activists about the lack of action to reduce fossil fuel use.
The discussion at the conference revolves around how developing nations can curb pollution and combat climate change, while also considering the financial implications of these actions. As governments and companies are being accused of promoting rather than curbing fossil fuel use, there is a growing urgency to find solutions to address the ongoing environmental crisis.
Guests at the conference, including Suzanne Lynch, Associate editor at Politico Europe, Abhiir Bhalla, Youth adviser at Commonwealth Human Ecology Council, and Peter Newman, Professor of sustainability at Curtin University, are sharing their insights on the challenges and opportunities for combating climate change. The conference serves as a platform for experts and stakeholders to collaborate and formulate strategies to tackle the pressing issue of climate change.
As the world grapples with the urgency of reducing emissions and transitioning to cleaner energy sources, the discussions at the COP29 conference are crucial in setting the agenda for global climate action. The outcomes of the conference are expected to shape future policies and initiatives to address the climate crisis effectively.
