Description

This week:



Dives into two major reports spotlighting the urgency of climate action as COP29 approaches. Despite national pledges, current trajectories fall significantly short of the 43% emissions reduction scientists say is needed by 2030—an alarming gap with drastic implications.



Additionally, COP29, known as the “finance COP,” will see countries renegotiate climate finance goals, aiming to replace the original $100 billion annual target with a more ambitious funding framework. With new commitments on the table, major emitters and financial contributors face increasing pressure to bring stronger, actionable pledges to the summit.
