COP29 in 2024: The Next Milestone in Climate Action

In the wake of the significant discussions and resolutions at COP28, the global environmental and policy-making communities now pivot their focus to the next major event in the climate change dialogue: the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP29, scheduled for November 11 to 24, 2024.

This crucial gathering will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, providing a unique backdrop for global leaders and stakeholders to build on the momentum and commitments established at COP28. COP29 in Baku is poised to mark another vital step in the collective global effort to combat climate change.

COP29 in 2024: Key Sessions and Agendas

COP29 is set to host a series of pivotal meetings, including the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 29), the 19th session of the COP serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 19), and the sixth meeting of the COP serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA 6). These sessions offer a platform to assess and reinforce the commitments made under these influential international agreements.

A major agenda at COP29 will be the implementation of the first enhanced transparency framework. This framework is essential for providing a clear and comprehensive view of global efforts in mitigating and adapting to climate change. Additionally, the conference aims to establish a new collective quantified goal on finance, which is crucial for bolstering financial support for climate action initiatives.

Parallel to these high-level discussions, the 61st sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA 61) and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI 61) will also be convened. These sessions are vital for offering scientific and technical guidance and for overseeing the practical implementation of climate policies.
