#COP29, held in 2024 at Baku, Azerbaijan, gathers world leaders, scientists, activists, and organizations to discuss climate action strategies for a sustainable future. The agenda of #COP29 spans in 2 weeks with various thematic discussions across society, environment, and economy. This year, key issues of #COP29 will be about the agreement on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG), aimed at setting a new climate financial target to support developing countries in their climate actions post-2025, as a result of the Paris Agreement in 2015. #COP29 #ClimateAction #Baku #COP29ImpactMakers #HimalayaInnovate

I am with Frank Dehnhard this weekend preparing for #COP29 in Baku and it is mindblowing if you look at our world leaders both in politics and business! 💔 Why do they keep defending BaU Business as Usual ? 🤔 We have entered an entirely new phase of the climate crisis, and we are very worried it is not being recognized. This requires all climate activists #CSR managers #CSO s to profoundly re-assess, and completely renew their strategies, to avoid wasted effort. This entirely new phase in the climate crisis is caused by 2 main things. Climate change, induced events, like extreme weather are coming more regularly, and intensely. Valencia this week was just another WAKE UP CALL 🚨 It's now become clear that our leadership has no intention of taking appropriate action. For over 52 years governments have been pledging to take action as regards the ecological crisis, and in the last 32 years, to take action on the climate crisis The IPCC produced the SR15 in 2018, which was essentially a blueprint for holding warming to below 1.5C. Essentially, it concluded we needed to halve emissions by 2030, to be within about a 50:50 chance of achieving this. No major government has developed any sort of strategy, or has attempted to halve emissions by 2030. It looks like their policy, which actually result in higher global emissions by 2030. Much could be said about the #COP talks, who's main purpose, seems to have been to mislead the public, into believing that our governments and politicians were going to take action, that they had no intention of taking. Look at this picture from Valencia and let’s connect the dots for real #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/eTVWiRy2 #COP29 #Baku let’s connect the dots if you are in Baku let’s talk how we can unite and accelerate the transformation!

Today starts the 29th UN Climate Change Conference (COP29). World leaders come together in Baku, Azerbaijan, intending to decide on new agreements concerning fossil emissions, solutions for current consequences of climate change, and - the million-dollar question - who will pay for all of this? At the same time, the European Copernicus Climate Change Service sounds the alarm: 2024 will be the first year when the world warms more than 1.5 degrees > the number over which the international community agreed it should not be passed. Evidently, there is no time to waste! ⏰ That's why TU/e scientists Heleen de Coninck and Pieter Pauw are closely monitoring the developments in Baku over the next two weeks. Last year, they did the same in anticipation of the UN Climate Summit (COP28) in Dubai: https://lnkd.in/e7gHDrww However, other scientists from our university are committed to sustainability as well. That's why we will be (re)sharing stories about relevant research the whole week on this platform. To showcase how we are contributing to a (hopefully) better world 🌍💚 #COP29 #Climatechange #Climatefinancing #Sustainability #Climatesummit #UN

In the run-up to COP29 🌍 Danish and Moroccan relations continue to thrive and our cooperation on particularly water, digitalisation, and energy remain as central areas that benefit both our countries 🇲🇦🇩🇰 The recently announced strategy for strengthening the Danish cooperation with African countries advances the potential for enhanced cooperation between Morocco and Denmark in different sectors 🤝 When the COP29 Azerbaijan kicks off next week, Denmark’s climate efforts through our Africa strategy and the kick-start of Power-to-X are some of the topics that Danish participants will cover – central pillars in our cooperation with Morocco. With a full program ahead next week, the ground is prepared for the 29th edition of the Conference of the Parties. #COP29 #ClimateAction #ClimateFinance #Sustainability #AfricaStrategy #PtX Photo: State of Green

Ahead of #COP16Colombia, and with 3 major environmental conferences taking place in quick succession, we think it is an important opportunity to recognize how the climate and nature crises are interconnected. We understand that our relationship with our natural world is broken. We are currently using resources equivalent to 1.7 Earths, far beyond what the planet can regenerate.  As we approach critical moments for global decision-making, including the #COP16 in Colombia, #COP29 in Baku, and #UNCCDCOP16 in Riyadh, world leaders must heed this warning and take urgent action to transform our collective future. To galvanize action #ForPeopleForPlanet, and to make #PeaceWithNature, we wanted to create a resource for more people to get involved in the climate and nature movement. We know there are a lot of terms being used in negotiations and important discussions around climate and nature, and they can often be quite confusing. To help, we broke down 20 important terms and concepts related to the nature and biodiversity crisis. Cutting through the jargon and establishing a common understanding of the key terms used, check out our new Climate Dictionary: the Nature edition.

#COP29Azerbaijan At the UN Climate Summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, a landmark yet contentious deal was finalized: developed nations pledged to contribute at least $300 billion annually by 2035 to help developing countries combat and adapt to climate change. Key Aspects of the Agreement: 1. Mitigation: Supporting greener energy transitions, emission reductions, and sustainable practices in developing nations. 2. Adaptation: Preparing vulnerable communities through disaster resilience, climate-proof infrastructure, and safeguards against rising sea levels and extreme weather. 3. Global Equity: Reflecting the principle of shared but differentiated responsibilities, recognizing that poorer nations bear the brunt of a crisis they contributed little to. The Debate: Critics argue that the commitment, while significant, might still fall short given the magnitude of the climate crisis. Concerns also arise over the mechanisms for ensuring transparency and fulfilling previous unkept promises. This deal brings hope but also a stern reminder: global collaboration must translate into tangible results for those most vulnerable. For Mauritius: Climate change is a subject that affects every Mauritian, not just policymakers like Minister Bhagwan or Junior Minister Joanna Berenger. This global challenge demands awareness and action at all levels of society. On a personal note, my interest in this critical issue goes back to 2013, when I earned a Climate Literacy certification with distinction from the University of British Columbia. Following the developments at #COP29 closely is not just a choice—it’s a responsibility to stay informed and engaged in shaping a sustainable future. #climatechange #Mauritius
