The COP29 climate conference concluded in Baku with strong criticisms from various delegates regarding inadequate funding agreements and the overall handling of the conference. While a new framework for international climate financing was established, many countries deemed the contributions, primarily from industrialized nations, as insufficient. Activists and representatives from vulnerable nations expressed deep disappointment, labeling the outcomes a failure and a betrayal. UN Climate Secretary Simon Stiell acknowledged the shortcomings but indicated that the agreement marks the beginning of a ‘new era’ in climate action.
