This Week in Global Development

Did COP29 deliver?


Listen Later

This week we reflect on the United Nations COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, which wrapped up over the weekend. We take a closer look at the outcomes, analyzing nations’ commitment to a new $300 billion annual global climate finance target and exploring whether it’s sufficient to support the needs of the lower-income countries most impacted by climate change.

While some steps have been taken to assist these states, significant doubts remain about the sufficiency of what nations agreed at COP29. 


Is the global community truly committed to addressing the climate crisis? Did COP29 deliver? What will be the next step in the climate negotiations?


For the latest episode of our weekly podcast series, Business Editor David Ainsworth sits down with Clare Shakya, global managing director of climate at The Nature Conservancy, and Climate Reporter Jesse Chase-Lubitz, to look back at COP 29.
