COP29 president Mukhtar Babayev delivers a speech during the opening of the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan on November 11, 2024. Baku, Azerbaijan—The COP29 climate talks opened Monday in Azerbaijan with a call to show global cooperation was not “down for the count,” as Donald Trump’s re-election hangs over the key discussions.
“An ambitious new climate finance goal is entirely in the self-interest of every nation, including the largest and wealthiest.” COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev acknowledged the need was “in the trillions” but said a more “realistic goal” was somewhere in the hundreds of billions. That is firmly rejected by Beijing, with one Chinese official warning Sunday during a closed-door session that the talks should not aim to “renegotiate” existing agreements.
