COP29 negotiators secure $300 billion climate deal but face criticism and controversy in Baku

standard.co.uk November 25, 2024, 03:01 PM UTC

At the COP29 climate conference in Baku, negotiators reached a deal for wealthy nations to provide $300 billion annually to developing countries by 2035. This amount falls short of the $1.3 trillion needed, drawing criticism from several nations. The agreement includes provisions for carbon-cutting offsets, allowing high-emission countries to invest in projects in developing nations. Critics warn this could be exploited without strict regulations, undermining climate goals. The conference also faced controversy over Azerbaijan's president calling oil and gas a "gift from God." Activists expressed dissatisfaction with the outcomes, and the next COP will be held in Brazil, where fossil fuel production is set to increase.
