COP29 in Baku just concluded. Here’s your overview of the key outcomes. It covers: new climate finance commitments, adaptation, carbon markets, fossil fuels, and more.

Over two weeks in November, more than 55,000 government negotiators, business representatives, activists and journalists gathered in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku for the annual conference of parties (COP) to the UN’s climate change convention (UNFCCC).

COP29 has concluded in Baku, Azerbaijan. The two-week climate conference overran two days as negotiations worked towards a new global finance goal.

No one left this year’s United Nations climate conference happy, but the talks were still an important marker.

Read our explainer on the key outcomes from the COP29 UN climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, where finance was at the centre.

The COP29 is heading into its crucial week, with political negotiations set to begin on Monday amid little hope that they will produce a breakthrough.

The Climate COP is halfway over and, to put it simply: while things have been urgent for some time, we have now come to a dire moment.

United Nations climate talks resumed Monday with negotiators urged to make progress on a deal that could see developing countries get more money to spend on clean energy and adapting to climate-charged weather extremes.

A bitterly-fought climate finance deal reached at COP29 risks weakening emissions-cutting plans from developing countries, observers say, further raising the stakes for new national commitments due early next year.

Climate talks in Baku ended with a mix of urgency and delay, progress and frustration. But finance deal could be a game-changer.
