On November 11, COP29 begins in Baku, Azerbaijan. Over the following two weeks, countries will negotiate a critical new climate finance goal, as well as their individual plans and commitments to address the climate crisis and keep global heating below 1.5C per the Paris Agreement. 350.org has two key demands for COP29, widely dubbed the “finance” COP: 1. Countries pledge at least $1 trillion in grants to the new climate finance goal, or New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG). The financial, climate and social needs of the Global South should inform where this money comes from and how it’s delivered and spent. 2. Countries make ambitious national commitments, or Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), that are in line with fairly tripling renewable energy capacity and phasing out fossil fuels by 2030. Climate action depends on fair, equitable finance. That’s why our delegation of climate advocates, activists and policy analysts will be on-site to follow the negotiations and keep a finger on the pulse of the “finance” COP. Meet the team on the ground below, and reach out to global-comms@350.org for media inquiries including additional sources for background, quotes and analysis.

Social media is a scary place to be right now. One way to take care of yourself might be to get some space from it altogether — but if you’re here and trying to stop yourself from doom scrolling, we wanted to offer a brief but meaningful alternative. We’ve started gathering stories from people who are creating the world we all deserve, a world that centers hope, climate justice and community care.

The U.S. election has been called and Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. ⁠ ⁠ 350.org acknowledges the outcome of the democratic process but we’re also concerned that this result could set back the rights of many communities, colleagues, partners and allies in the U.S., result in violations of marginalized people and produce a more dangerous, isolationist nation.⁠ ⁠ In that darkness, our faith must remain in each other, our climate movement and in multilateralism: other nations can step up to lead where the U.S. falls short. Many already are. ⁠ ⁠ Trump isn’t in office yet, and there are still things Joe Biden can achieve before January 2025. But meanwhile, to everyone feeling hurt and scared, we see you and we stand beside you. ⁠ ⁠ Our full statement is available here: https://lnkd.in/gATGnH-4 In solidarity, onward.

We added our name to the open letter to kick fossil fuel lobbyists out of COP!

A Gender Just Energy Transition argues that women-led, community-driven renewable energy access improves livelihoods, wellbeing and climate resilience while bolstering women’s leadership in creating a truly just transition. Centering power and rights as vital to any energy transition, this framework asks "whose interests matter in a transition?" and "what are we transitioning from and to?" Join tomorrow's webinar with SHINE and partners, including 350's Head of Campaigning & Organizing Sonia Kwami, for a conversation that will explore these questions through examples, diverse perspectives and the latest research from financiers, leading researchers, practitioners and advocates.
