As COP29 nears its mid-point in Baku, Azerbaijan, Carbon Brief has hosted a webinar to answer questions on everything from climate finance to private planes.
Often referred to as the “finance COP”, 65,000 people have travelled to the Azeri capital for the second largest-ever UN climate summit.
Many questions asked during the webinar focused on the “new collective quantified goal”, a new climate-finance target set to be agreed at COP29.
Beyond this, questions included the impact of Donald Trump’s election on climate action, the agreement on Article 6 announced on the first day of the summit and whether the COP process is still “fit for purpose”, among many others.
The webinar included six Carbon Brief journalists, most on the ground in Baku covering all elements of the summit:
- Dr Simon Evans – deputy editor and senior policy editor
- Daisy Dunne – associate editor
- Josh Gabbatiss – policy correspondent
- Wanyuan Song – China section editor
- Aruna Chandrasekhar – land, food systems and nature journalist
- Molly Lempriere – policy section editor
A recording of the webinar (below) is now available to watch on YouTube.
