Last week's #COP29 key takes is around #ClimateFinance goals. It is set to replace the existing 100 billion dollar goal by 2025. A New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) The is seen as the conference's main achievement, links climate finance with biodiversity, land, and sustainable development and recognizes Indigenous Peoples’ climate leadership.⁠ Even though, political challenges persist, due to complexity of implementation intertwined with the overall structure. There is ongoing debate about whether it should be a single-layer provision or a multi-layer goal with broader financial sources. Observers note this reflects the typical divide between developed and developing countries. Beyond that, Mehane hasn't got national reduction targets. Additionally, ISO is coherent to a new standard for ESG reporting, fossil fuel Corp did not commit to any ambitious reduction targets, yet committed countries were Brazil and The UK.

COP29 Advances Global Carbon Market Standards World leaders have agreed on international carbon market standards that promise to transform global efforts in tackling climate change. This agreement provides a comprehensive framework to ensure the integrity and transparency of carbon markets, making it easier to track emissions reductions and enhance accountability. The establishment of these standards is a significant move towards promoting sustainable practices across industries, creating new opportunities for innovation and investment, and accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. For Africa, in particular, this could open doors to cleaner technologies and more effective climate financing. #cop29 #carbonmarkets #climateaction #sustainability
